Barriers to and facilitators of help-seeking behavior among Israeli men who experience intimate partner violence: A qualitative study.

Abstract: Research has shown that male victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) are less likely than women to seek formal and informal help. Studies have identified internal barriers (e.g., shame) and external and structural barriers (e.g., limited availability of services), rooted in hegemonic masculinity norms, that explain this underutilization of help. There is also evidence of recent changes in the cultural understanding of masculinity, but these new insights have yet to be incorporated in theories of male IPV an… Show more

“…Walker and colleagues' findings and those of other studies (e.g., Dutton & Nicholls, 2005;Gueta & Shilchove, 2022;Winstok, 2017) detail a variety of gendered stereotypes applied to men who are IPV victims by individuals in their sphere, including friends, family, and social service and court officials. Various findings suggest that violence against men is perceived as less serious by lay third-parties (Felson & Feld, 2009;Hines et al, 2020), by psychologists (Follingstad et al, 2004), and by police (Cormier & Woodworth, 2008); that male victims are conjectured to be responsible for their victimization (Parker et al, 2020); that male perpetrators are rated by third parties as nine times more criminal than female perpetrators (even when controlling for body size and perceived injury; Parker et al, 2020); and that male victims are much less likely than female victims to acknowledge their victimhood, despite meeting well-defined behavioral criteria for victimization (Arnocky & Villancourt, 2014).…”

“…This article focuses on “access” as a multidimensional concept that incorporates the availability of services, the utilization of (and barriers to using) services, the relevance and effectiveness of services, and services’ equity or social justice components (Gulliford et al, 2002). There is emerging literature investigating men’s help-seeking behaviors, including research investigating anonymous online help-seeking (Drioli-Phillips et al, 2021), explorations of differences in help-seeking based on whether it was professional help, informal help, or self-help in question (Cole & Ingram, 2020), and analysis about how barriers and facilitators of help-seeking may be complex and interrelated (Gueta & Shlichove, 2022). However, focusing only on men’s help-seeking has at times resulted in simplistic attribution of men’s difficulties in accessing health services to a mismatch between available services and masculine norms (Addis & Mahalik, 2003).…”
