ABSTRACT

This study examined the roles of relational context, religiosity, and marginalization in Muslim-American adults’ (N = 314) disclosure of intimate partner violence (IPV). Participants responded to scenarios involving IPV perpetrated by Muslim or non-Muslim partners. When IPV perpetrators were non-Muslim, disclosure likelihood was higher to non-Muslim networks (e.g., law enforcement, non-Muslim friends), whereas when perpetrators were Muslim, disclosure likelihood was higher to Muslim networks (e.g., family members, Muslim shelters). Religiosity was positively associated with disclosure likelihood to Muslim networks, but negatively associated with disclosure likelihood to non-Muslim networks. This pattern of association was most pronounced in the Muslim partner scenario. For Muslim and non-Muslim partners, marginalization was negatively associated with IPV disclosure likelihood to law enforcement and, unexpectedly, family members. In the non-Muslim perpetrator scenario only, marginalization was negatively linked to disclosure to Muslim friends. Results support interventions involving tailored disclosure conditions, enhanced culture-based training, and stronger secular and faith-based organizational partnerships.

摘要

本研究考察了关系背景、宗教信仰和边缘化在美国穆斯林成年人中的作用（N = 314) 披露亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV)。参与者对涉及穆斯林或非穆斯林伙伴实施的 IPV 的场景做出回应。当 IPV 肇事者是非穆斯林时，向非穆斯林网络（例如执法部门、非穆斯林朋友）披露的可能性更高，而当肇事者是穆斯林时，向穆斯林网络（例如，家庭成员、穆斯林庇护所）披露的可能性更高）。宗教信仰与向穆斯林网络披露的可能性呈正相关，但与向非穆斯林网络披露的可能性呈负相关。这种关联模式在穆斯林伙伴情景中最为明显。对于穆斯林和非穆斯林合作伙伴，边缘化与 IPV 向执法部门披露的可能性呈负相关，并且出乎意料地与家庭成员有关。仅在非穆斯林肇事者情景中，边缘化与向穆斯林朋友披露信息呈负相关。结果支持干预措施，包括量身定制的披露条件、加强基于文化的培训以及更强大的世俗和基于信仰的组织伙伴关系。
