TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - What psycho-social factors determine intimate partner violence of men against women? A social cognitive theory-based study JO - Health care for women international A1 - Asghari Jafarabadi, Mohammad A1 - Nadrian, Haidar A1 - Pourrazavi, Sara A1 - Allahverdipour, Hamid A1 - Kazemi, Khadijeh SP - 1 EP - 15 VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Despite the multidimensionality of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women, there is a lack of research on the perspectives of men toward the phenomenon. Our aim in this cross-sectional study was to examine the predictability of social cognitive theory in explaining men's violent behaviors against women. The findings of our study among a sample of 576 Iranian married men showed a reciprocal determinism between outcome expectancy, attitude toward IPV, and observational learning in formation of men's IPV against women. Therefore, the interactive associations of cognitive and environmental factors, as a comprehensive approach, should be considered while studying the determinants of IPV against women among men.
