Globally, one in three women will experience intimate partner violence (IPV) within her lifetime. IPV attitudes are highly predictive of IPV. While a wealth of literature on risk factors related to IPV exist, an overarching critique in the field is the lack of studies examining risk factors across the socioecological framework. Using data from multiple administrative and individual surveys, this study fills a gap in the literature by evaluating the effect of meso-influences on physical IPV attitudes (i.e., permissibility of a man beating his wife) while accounting for known micro- and macro-risk factors in 64,466 individuals across 51 low-, middle- and high-income countries. Mixed-effects modeling was used to evaluate factors and identify comparative contributions of each factor representing the socio-ecological levels. We tested five multivariate logistic models. The final model indicated that greater perceived neighborhood disorder and less perceived neighborhood security were associated with physical IPV attitudes, while individual endorsement of interpersonal violence, belief in corporal punishment of children, holding greater patriarchal beliefs, being male, being separated from a significant partner, reporting greater household hunger and nationally lower levels of female literacy were associated with beliefs that IPV is acceptable. Overall, the findings of this study support that IPV is a complex behavior, influenced by factors across socio-ecological domains. However, data on neighborhood structural factors (i.e., exosystem) would help unpack the mechanisms between macro-, meso- and micro-level factors and may be important for protecting women from violence.

在 51 个国家评估与个人持有的亲密伴侣暴力信念相关的社区因素
在全球范围内,三分之一的女性将在其一生中经历亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV)。IPV 态度高度预测 IPV。虽然存在大量关于与 IPV 相关的风险因素的文献,但该领域的一个总体批评是缺乏研究跨社会生态学框架检查风险因素。本研究使用来自多项行政和个人调查的数据,通过评估中观影响对身体 IPV 态度(即允许男人殴打妻子)的影响,同时考虑已知的微观和宏观风险,填补了文献中的空白51 个低收入、中等收入和高收入国家的 64,466 人的因素。混合效应模型用于评估因素并确定代表社会生态水平的每个因素的比较贡献。我们测试了五个多元逻辑模型。最终模型表明,感知到的邻里混乱和感知到的邻里安全感较低与 IPV 的身体态度有关,而个人对人际暴力的认可、体罚儿童的信念、持有更大的父权制信仰、男性、与重要伴侣分离、报告更严重的家庭饥饿和全国较低的女性识字率与 IPV 是可以接受的信念有关。总的来说,这项研究的结果支持 IPV 是一种复杂的行为,受到跨社会生态领域因素的影响。然而,关于邻里结构因素(即外系统)的数据将有助于解开宏观、
