The Relationship between Injunctive and Descriptive Social Norms and the Perpetuation of Intimate Partner Violence in Caucasian and Mexican-American Men
2018
Overview
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious issue in the United States that results in various harmful consequences for both men and women. Understanding modifiable risk factors, such as attitudes and social norms, is an important step in developing culturally informed primary prevention and intervention programs that aim to reduce the prevalence of IPV. Existing research on IPV has failed to consider the influence of both injunctive (i.e., perceived approval) and descriptive (i.e., perceived prevalence) social norms, in addition to, specific cultural norms. With an in-depth analysis of past research and theoretical models, this review attempts to propose a comprehensive model of risk for IPV perpetration that focuses on various environmental, social and cultural factors. This review also provides an analysis of how the interaction between injunctive and descriptive social norms increases the likelihood of IPV perpetration among men. Several risk factors appear to be significantly influencing the likelihood of men developing attitudes that endorse violence against women including gender-role development, exposure to family violence, media and peer influence, emotion regulation, and precarious masculinity. Cultural ideals such as Machismo, Marianismo, and acculturation also appear to be impacting the likelihood of IPV perpetration among the Latino communities. Implications for clinical practice suggest developing individualized primary prevention and intervention programs that consider each individual’s exposure to specific risk factors, as well as, focusing on injunctive social norms by dismantling strict traditional gender-role norms.
