This paper reports on a survey of volunteers from domestic violence agencies and social workers throughout one state. Respondents were given a hypothetical case of an abused wife and asked to rate the level of their emphasis upon several services in their work with this woman. The services were divided into two categories: those which focused upon independence and those which focused upon interpersonal dynamics. It was found that feminist ideology and gender were better predictors of emphasis upon independence than either professional status, age, gender, experience with abused wives, or personal history with spouse abuse. The finding that social workers emphasized independence more so than did volunteers ran counter to some concerns expressed in the previous literature.
本文报道了一项针对该州家庭暴力机构志愿者和社会工作者的调查。受访者被给出一个受虐妻子的假设案例，并被要求对他们在与这位女性合作中对几种服务的重视程度进行评分。这些服务被分为两类：一类侧重于独立性，另一类侧重于人际关系动态。研究发现，与专业地位、年龄、性别、与受虐妻子的经历或配偶虐待的个人经历相比，女权主义意识形态和性别更能预测对独立性的重视程度。社会工作者比志愿者更强调独立性这一发现与先前文献中表达的一些担忧相悖。
