The World Health Organization stipulated that intimate partner violence is one of the most common forms of violence against women and includes physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and controlling behaviors by an intimate partner. Opposition of women against any form of violence at home, beating by their husbands in particular, is a manifestation of readiness to assert their personal rights. This study used data from the 2011 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey to identify some predictors to determine attitudes of married Ethiopian women toward wife beating. The dataset used consisted of 5,818 married women of the reproductive age group 15 to 49 years. While 1,393 (24%) married women did not oppose wife beating, a total of 4,425 (76%) opposed the practice. In the binary multiple logistic regression analysis, age, economic status, level of education, employment status of a woman, number of children living in the household, region (federal administrative regions delineated on the basis of ethnicity), place of residence (urban vs. rural), religion, and husband's level of education have been included as possible socioeconomic and demographic determinants of women's attitudes toward wife beating. The findings showed that the predictors region, place of residence, number of living children in a household, and religion were significantly associated with women attitudes toward wife beating.
世界卫生组织规定，亲密伴侣暴力是最常见的针对妇女的暴力形式之一，包括身体、性和情感虐待以及亲密伴侣的控制行为。妇女反对任何形式的家庭暴力，尤其是丈夫的殴打，是她们维护个人权利的表现。本研究使用了 2011 年埃塞俄比亚人口与健康调查的数据，以确定一些预测因素，以确定已婚埃塞俄比亚妇女对丈夫殴打行为的态度。所使用的数据集包括 5818 名 15 至 49 岁的育龄已婚妇女。虽然有 1393 名（24%）已婚妇女不反对殴打妻子，但总共有 4425 名（76%）已婚妇女反对这种行为。在二元多项逻辑回归分析中，年龄、经济状况、教育程度、妇女的就业状况、居住在家庭中的儿童人数、地区（根据族裔划分的联邦行政区）、居住地（城市与农村）、宗教以及丈夫的教育程度被视为影响妇女对殴打妻子态度的可能社会经济和人口决定因素。研究结果表明，预测因素地区、居住地、家庭中居住的儿童人数和宗教与妇女对殴打妻子的态度显著相关。
