Abstract

The current study examines country-specific risk factors of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization among Guatemalan and Honduran women. More specifically, we examine if (in)equality between partners, experience of controlling or emotionally abusive behavior, and components of the intergenerational transmission of violence significantly affect the risk of lifetime IPV victimization for Guatemalan (N = 5,645) and Honduran women (N = 9,427). We address this by analyzing both the 2014 to 2015 Guatemala Demographic and Health Survey and the 2011 to 2012 Honduras Demographic and Health Survey. Results suggest that equality between partners operates differently across the two nations, which is likely related to social norms in each country. In particular, having more decisional input is a protective factor against IPV victimization for Guatemalan women. Increased educational attainment, however, is a risk factor for IPV victimization among Honduran women. Implications, especially as they pertain to social service agencies and programming, are discussed.

审查中美洲亲密伴侣暴力受害的风险因素:危地马拉和洪都拉斯概况》。
本研究探讨了危地马拉和洪都拉斯妇女遭受亲密伴侣暴力侵害的特定国家风险因素。更具体地说,我们研究了伴侣之间的(不)平等、控制或情感虐待行为的经历以及暴力代际传播的组成部分是否会显著影响危地马拉妇女(5,645 人)和洪都拉斯妇女(9,427 人)终生遭受亲密伴侣暴力侵害的风险。我们通过分析 2014 至 2015 年危地马拉人口与健康调查和 2011 至 2012 年洪都拉斯人口与健康调查来解决这一问题。结果表明,在这两个国家中,伴侣之间的平等程度不同,这可能与每个国家的社会规范有关。特别是,对于危地马拉妇女来说,拥有更多的决定权是防止遭受 IPV 的一个保护因素。而教育程度的提高则是洪都拉斯妇女遭受 IPV 侵害的风险因素。本文讨论了其影响,特别是对社会服务机构和计划编制的影响。
