TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - The Influence of Gender Role Stereotyping on Women's Experiences of Female Same-Sex Intimate Partner Violence JO - Violence against women A1 - Hassouneh, Dena A1 - Glass, Nel SP - 310 EP - 325 VL - 14 IS - 3 N2 - Female same-sex intimate partner violence (FSSIPV) is a serious problem that affects the health and safety of lesbian and bisexual women. To begin to address the paucity of research, a mixed methods study was conducted to identify shared and unique risk and protective factors for FSSIPV. This article reports on qualitative findings related to the influence of gender role stereotyping on women's experiences of FSSIPV. Findings indicate that gender role stereotyping shapes women's experiences of FSSIPV by influencing individual, familial, community, and societal perceptions and responses to this phenomenon.
