BACKGROUND/AIM: Intimate partner controlling behavior toward women is an important form of intimate partner violence (IPV), both in terms of limiting women's daily lives and in terms of reproducing patriarchal culture and male dominance in societies at the micro level. A limited number of studies in the literature have identified the male intimate partner's controlling behavior as a dependent variable, which is important for understanding the determinants of this type of IPV. There is also a significant gap in the literature in terms of studies focusing on the case of Türkiye. Thus, the main aim of this study was to determine the socio-demographic, economic and violence-related factors that have an effect on women's status in terms of exposure to control behavior in Türkiye.
These factors were examined by using binary logistic regression analysis, based on the micro data set collected by the Hacettepe University's Institute of Population Studies in the 2014-dated National Research on Domestic Violence against Women in Türkiye. A total of 7,462 women between the ages of 15 and 59 were interviewed face-to-face.
The findings of the study revealed that women are more likely to be exposed to controlling behavior if they live in rural areas, are unmarried, speak Turkish as their mother tongue, have bad or very bad health conditions, justify men's violence and are afraid of their intimate partners. As women's age, level of education and income contribution increase, their likelihood of exposure to controlling behavior decreases. However, women's exposure to economic, physical and emotional violence also increases their likelihood of exposure to controlling behavior.
The findings highlighted the importance of creating public policies that make women less vulnerable to men's controlling behavior, providing women with methods and mechanisms of resistance and raising public awareness of the exacerbating effects of controlling behavior on social inequalities.
背景/目的：亲密伴侣对女性的控制行为是亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的一种重要形式，无论是在限制女性日常生活方面，还是在微观层面上，于社会中再现父权文化和男性主导地位方面。文献中数量有限的研究已将男性亲密伴侣的控制行为确定为因变量，这对于理解此类亲密伴侣暴力的决定因素很重要。在关注土耳其情况的研究方面，文献中也存在显著差距。因此，本研究的主要目的是确定在土耳其，就遭受控制行为而言，对女性地位产生影响的社会人口、经济和与暴力相关的因素。
基于哈杰泰佩大学人口研究所于2014年进行的土耳其全国妇女家庭暴力研究收集的微观数据集，通过二元逻辑回归分析来研究这些因素。总共对7462名年龄在15至59岁之间的女性进行了面对面访谈。
研究结果显示，如果女性生活在农村地区、未婚、以土耳其语为母语、健康状况差或非常差、为男性暴力行为辩解且害怕其亲密伴侣，那么她们更有可能遭受控制行为。随着女性年龄、教育水平和收入贡献的增加，她们遭受控制行为的可能性会降低。然而，女性遭受经济、身体和情感暴力也会增加她们遭受控制行为的可能性。
研究结果凸显了制定公共政策的重要性，这些政策应使女性更不易受到男性控制行为的影响，为女性提供抵抗方法和机制，并提高公众对控制行为对社会不平等加剧影响的认识。
