TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Putting Context Into a Cultural Perspective: Examining Arab and Jewish Adolescents' Judgments and Reasoning About Spousal Retribution JO - Violence against women A1 - Pitner, Ronald O. A1 - Astor, Ron Avi A1 - Benbenishty, Rami A1 - Haj-Yahia, Muhammad M. A1 - Zeira, Anat SP - 584 EP - 602 VL - 17 IS - 5 N2 - In this study, we examined what contextual factors influence adolescents' judgments and reasoning about spousal retribution. Adolescents were drawn from Central and Northern Israel and consisted of 2,324 Arab and Jewish students (Grades 7-11). The study was set up in a 2 (Arab/Jewish respondent) × 2 (spousal retribution scenarios) factorial design. Our findings suggest that societal and cultural norms may be more powerful contextual variables than group stereotypes in influencing Arab and Jewish adolescents' evaluations of spousal retribution. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
