“…The presence of violence may lead a woman to increase or decrease her willingness to work. Most studies suggest that violence reduces women's employment due to mental and physical health consequences (Susann L. Staggs and Stephanie Riger 2005;Richard M. Tolman and Hui-Chen Wang 2005), increasing tardiness and absenteeism (Susan Lloyd 1997;Stephanie Riger, Courtney E. Ahrens, and Amy Blickenstaff 2000). On the other hand, abused women might be more likely than non-abused women to seek paid work (Deepa Narayan, Robert Chambers, Meera K. Shah, and Patti Petesch 2000).…”

Enhancing women's labor force participation is seen as a way to promote their empowerment and improve their well-being and that of their children. The empirical literature on the relationship between women's employment status and domestic violence is less clear-cut. Using quantitative data from Jordan in 2007, this study explores the effect of women's employment, as measured by their participation in paid work outside the home, on reported domestic violence, controlling for the potential endogeneity of women's employment, which might bias the relationship between employment and domestic violence. Without taking endogeneity into account, the regression results suggest that a woman's participation in paid work enhances violence by her husband. After controlling for endogeneity, these results turn out to be insignificant, which suggests that women's work status has no causal influence on marital violence. Differentiating between various types of domestic violence provides weak evidence that women's employment lowers sexual violence.

“…Thus, we have assembled a Special Section whose articles reflect the heterogeneity of the problem and the extant literature. For instance, the Special Section includes articles focused on traditional concerns of community psychology, such as help-seeking (Liang, Goodman, Tummala-Narra, & Weintraub, 2005), community violence and its relationship to IPV , how IPV influences the work status of women (Staggs & Riger, 2005;Tolman & Wang, 2005), cultural variations in protective factors associated with IPV (Jones, Bogat, Davidson, von Eye, & Levendosky, 2005;Meadows, Kaslow, Thompson, & Jurkovic, 2005), and evaluation of programs for women experiencing IPV (Bybee & Sullivan, 2005). However, the Special Section also includes topics typically not addressed by community psychologists; in this case, a laboratory study of violent couple's communication (Gordis, Margolin, & Vickerman, 2005) as well as research on the relationship between IPV, PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder), and the immune system (Woods et al, 2005).…”

This article uses the distinction between the person and the variable orientations as a frame for structuring (1) research on IPV, (2) results of this research, and (3) an agenda for future research. The main tenet of this agenda is that causes, processes, and effects of IPV are person and context specific; therefore, results that relate variables to each other are of limited value if it can be shown that the processes that take place, the meaning of the variables, the profile of the transgressors and the women who experience IPV depend on time, environment, and research design. Examples of valuable variable-oriented research are given; examples of the growing contribution made by person-oriented research are given as well. Sample theories are sketched out, for the variable-oriented, the person-oriented, and the theoretical research arenas, the need for future research is derived from inconsistencies and shortcomings in both current research and theory. Sample research questions are proposed. The contributions made by the authors of this Special Section are embedded within the discussion of research and theory of IPV. It is shown that each of the contributions is valuable within a particular segment of the research landscape.

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Few studies have examined prevalence rates of IPV by rurality, but the available literature indicates that it is as prevalent or more prevalent in rural than in urban populations. [6][7][8][9] In the United States, Domestic Violence Intervention Programs (DVIP) have been established to provide services for victims of IPV and are the main resource for intervention.…”

Objective: Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is a significant health issue in the United States and worldwide. The majority of studies on IPV have been conducted in urban populations. The objectives of this study are to determine if prevalence, frequency, and severity of IPV differ by rurality and to identify variance in geographic access to IPV resources. Methods: A cross-sectional clinic-based survey of 1478 women was conducted to measure the 1-year prevalence of physical, sexual, and psychologic IPV. IPV intervention programs in the state were inventoried and mapped, and the distance to the closest program was estimated for each participant based on an innovative algorithm developed for use when only ZIP code location is available. Results: Women in small rural and isolated areas reported the highest prevalence of IPV (22.5% and 17.9%, respectively) compared to 15.5% for urban women. Rural women reported significantly higher severity of physical abuse than their urban counterparts. The mean distance to the nearest IPV resource was three times greater for rural women than for urban women, and rural IPV programs served more counties and had fewer on-site shelter services. Over 25% of women in small rural and isolated areas lived > 40 miles from the closest program, compared with < 1% of women living in urban areas. Conclusions: Rural women experience higher rates of IPV and greater frequency and severity of physical abuse yet live much farther away from available resources. More IPV resources and interventions targeting rural women are needed.
