TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - Hostile masculinity, male peer support for violence, and problematic anger: linking childhood abuse to men's partner violence perpetration JO - Violence against women A1 - Sutton, Tara E. SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Child abuse and masculinity have been linked to intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration. However, there is a lack of work examining multiple aspects of masculinity as links between early abuse experiences and men's IPV perpetration. Grounded in notions of gendered power and patriarchy, this study aimed to examine hostile masculinity, male peer support for violence against women, and problematic anger as aspects of masculinity connecting childhood victimization and men's violence against women. Structural equation modeling results demonstrated that childhood adversity was indirectly related to IPV perpetration via the proposed factors. However, various patterns emerged based on the type of childhood abuse experienced. Practice-based implications are offered.
