While a large number of studies assumed gendered socialisation leads to partner abuse, little evidence exists for India. We bridge this crucial gap by exploring the pathways between childhood socialisation and intimate partner violence, using data 'Youth in India: Situation and Need Study (2006-2007)' for 5573 young married men (15-29 years). Nearly 17 per cent of men inflicted physical IPV in the past 12 months. Seventy-seven per cent recognized the experience of gender discrimination in their family and reported exposure to violence in two ways-one-third witnessed fathers abusing their mothers and 48 per cent were beaten by their parents. Adverse childhood experiences were associated with IPV perpetration. The structural equation model indicated significant pathways between IPV and childhood socialisation in the forms of experienced violence and gender discrimination. Findings underscore the importance of a violence-free, gender-neutral family environment for young generations and call for a comprehensive policy to ameliorate the impacts of IPV.
虽然大量研究认为性别社会化会导致伴侣虐待,但在印度,几乎没有证据支持这一点。我们利用“印度青年:状况与需求研究(2006 - 2007年)”中5573名年轻已婚男性(15 - 29岁)的数据,通过探索童年社会化与亲密伴侣暴力之间的路径,填补了这一关键空白。在过去12个月里,近17%的男性实施了身体暴力的亲密伴侣暴力行为。77%的人承认在家庭中经历过性别歧视,并报告了两种遭受暴力的方式:三分之一的人目睹父亲虐待母亲,48%的人曾被父母殴打。童年不良经历与亲密伴侣暴力行为的实施有关。结构方程模型表明,亲密伴侣暴力与童年社会化之间存在着以经历的暴力和性别歧视为形式的显著路径。研究结果强调了为年轻一代营造无暴力、性别中立的家庭环境的重要性,并呼吁制定一项全面政策来减轻亲密伴侣暴力的影响。
