Q

SOCIAL IDENTITIES & IPV

A
  • social identities shape people’s beh (incl. men’s violence in relationships)
  • ie. how particular masculinities shape men’s IPV perpetration both in terms of identities/where such identities come from
  • focus on young menn in South Africa
17
Q

GIBBS ET AL. (2014): “MEN VALUE THEIR DIGNITIY”

A
  • 3 focus groups; 19 in-depth w/young (18-30y) men; idealise “traditional” masculinity emphasising economic power/control over household/heterosexuality
  • BUT struggle to achieve it given economic (ie. no job)/social (ie. seen as “children”) contexts
  • construct other forms of identities (dormant & youthful) which prioritise heterosexual success & dominance/control over girlfriends (incl. limited violence)/displays of masculine success/bravado
  • continual establishment of masculine identity & fragility
18
Q

GIBBS ET AL. (2021)

A
  • differential impact on men w/IPV prevention intervention
  • grouped men using latent class analysis to look at violent beh patterns (low = 21%; medium = 50%; high = 29%)
    HEREK (1986)
  • linked to masculinity theory; most violent = hyper-masculinity
  • medium violence = most numerous so dominant form?
  • men’s identities = fragile & require continual reproduction
19
Q

BOSSON & VANDELLO: PRECARIOUS MASCULINITY

A
  • emphasise that masculinity = NOT simply “there” but something that must be continually achieved
    STUDY
  • threaten men’s masculinity; test range of outcomes (hairstyling = masculinity threat)
  • OR rope reinforcing task
  • those in threat condition = more likely to choose punching task & punch harder
  • emphasises that masculinity = NOT stable
  • ie. men’s beh = constant demonstrators of masculinity
20
Q

SUMMARY

A
  • violence against women/girls (particularly IPV) = global health problem; has range of negative health impacts
  • IPV experience = patterned on range of social/psychological/structural factors (ie. age/mental health/food insecurity)
  • lack of understanding of “how” risk factors -> increased risk for women (ie. how does depression -> women’s increased IPV experience?)
  • IPV perpetration = best thought in terms of social identities/men’s masculinities BUT recognise how these = embedded in men’s own histories of violence/poverty/social challenged (NOT absolving them)
