Abstract

Background: Intimate partner violence is quite common around the world.

Aim: This study aims to determine the attitudes toward partner violence in men and to evaluate their attitudes toward violence according to narcissistic characteristics and attachment styles.

Method: This study was conducted using descriptive cross-sectional methods. Data has been collected by using The Experiences in Intimate Relationship Inventory (EIRI), The Pathological Narcissism Inventory (PNI), and Attitude Scales Toward Dating Violence (ASTDV).

Results: There was a positive correlation between the PSV and PV of ASTDV in the anxiety sub-dimension of the EIRI-2 (r = .283, p < .05; r = .262, p < .05) and a negative correlation with PSV and PV in the avoidance sub-dimension (r = -.656, p < .05; r = -.656, p < .05). PSV and PV sub-dimension of ASTDV and PNI's expectations of being noticed (r = .423, p < .05; r = .313, p < .05), fragile self (r = .256, p < .05; r = .154, p < .05), self-sacrifice (r = .186, p < .05; r = .106, p < .05), grandiose dreams (r = -.217, p < .05; r = -.109, p < .05).

Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that attitudes toward psychological and physical violence in men were directly related to anxious attachment, pathological narcissism, expectations of being noticed, fragile self, grandiose dreams, and self-sacrifice. Increasing the duration of the relationship with the partner, living in a village or town, having more siblings, having a father with a low level of education, and having a mental disorder under treatment constitute a risk for increasing positive attitudes toward psychological and physical violence in men.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Social Psychiatry, established in 1954, is a leading publication dedicated to the field of social psychiatry. It serves as a platform for the exchange of research findings and discussions on the influence of social, environmental, and cultural factors on mental health and well-being. The journal is particularly relevant to psychiatrists and multidisciplinary professionals globally who are interested in understanding the broader context of psychiatric disorders and their impact on individuals and communities. Social psychiatry, as a discipline, focuses on the origins and outcomes of mental health issues within a social framework, recognizing the interplay between societal structures and individual mental health. The journal draws connections with related fields such as social anthropology, cultural psychiatry, and sociology, and is influenced by the latest developments in these areas. The journal also places a special emphasis on fast-track publication for brief communications, ensuring that timely and significant research can be disseminated quickly. Additionally, it strives to reflect its international readership by publishing state-of-the-art reviews from various regions around the world, showcasing the diverse practices and perspectives within the psychiatric disciplines. This approach not only contributes to the scientific understanding of social psychiatry but also supports the global exchange of knowledge and best practices in mental health care.
