Domestic Violence on Women in Tehran: The Role of Gender SocializationT Resources Available for Women and Family Relationships

The research conducted on “domestic violence on women” have paid little attention to the fact that this phenomenon is resulted from the disruption in healthy social and family relationships as well as lack of available valuable resources for women. Therefore, this study attempts not only to contemplate on such elements as the shape of relationships in directed family, manner of gender socialization in directed family, and capital and available resources for women, but also to examine the violence on women from the viewpoint of couples’ relationships. Theories such as social learning, resources availability, gender socialization and interection have been used to explain this matter. The results show that the types of relationships in the family play an important role in determining the quantity of violence against women. Also there are some meaningful relationships between gender socialization, capitals and available resources for women and the shape of relationship in the family. In multivariable analysis, discursive relationship and monthly income are found to be the most important factors on violence on women and the explanatory coefficient for explaining variance in violence on women is 77%.
