가정문화의 양성평등과 가정폭력과의 관계에 관한 경험적 연구

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effects of gender equality of family culture on domestic violence. The study corrected the data from 217 married men and women through convenience sampling. Based on the theory of patriarchal family culture, the study examined equality issues between male and female through logistic regression analysis to examine its effects on domestic violence. Main findings were as follows. First, in the perspective of gender equality and family culture, two out of five families’household chores were not divided equally, and one out of five families were showing gender inequality within its family culture. Second, domestic violence showed 18.5 percent between married couples and 29.2 percent between parents and children. Third, gender equality within a family culture was shown to be a cause of domestic violence. Specifically, women were more the victim of domestic violence than men, and family culture with gender inequality were more prone to domestic violence of spouse abuse and child abuse. Family culture that divided the male gender from the female gender showed a higher possibility of violence between couples and their children, while the dividend of household chores showed little correlation. Thus, the study showed that providing a gender equality family culture lowered the possibility of domestic violence.
