بررسي خشونت خانوادگي در خانواده‌هاي تهراني

Violence against Women in Tehrani Families

تحقيق كنوني به عواملي كه مي‌توانند موجبات خشونت خانوادگي را در خانواده‌هاي تهراني سبب شوند، مي‌پردازد و اين سوالات را كه آيا خشونت خانوادگي با عقايد و باورهاي نادرست فرهنگي و نيز شاهد خشونت بودن در دوران كودكي ارتباط دارد، مورد مطالعه قرار مي‌دهد. بدين‌‌‌منظور، پرسشنامه‌هاي پژوهشگر ساخته ميان 50 زوج توزيع گرديد كه به شكل تصادفي، از ميان زوجيني كه به علت خشونت خانوادگي درخواست طلاق داشتند و به سه دادگاه و نيز پزشكي قانوني مراجعه كرده، انتخاب شده بودند. نتايج اين تحقيق نشان داد كه مردان، عواملي مانند فقدان ارتباط كلامي و بهانه‌گيري همسرشان درخصوص فرزندان را عمدتاً عوامل مورد اختلاف مي‌پنداشتند، در حالي‌كه‌ زنان عواملي مانند كنترل بيش از حد همسر، بهانه‌گيري همسر درخصوص غذا و فقدان همكاري همسر در رسيدگي به امور منزل را عوامل مورد اختلاف گزارش كردند. علاوه بر اين، نتايج اين تحقيق حاكي از آن بود كه ارتباط معناداري ميان خشونت خانوادگي و عقايد و باورهاي نادرست فرهنگي و نيز شاهد خشونت بودن در دوران كودكي وجود دارد

Domestic violence is considered as one of the most prevalent problems in families around the world that often goes unreported. This phenomenon includes, both, violence against the child and the spouse. In general, the result of most of the studies done in this area indicates that the underlying causes of this phenomenon include socio-cultural, family, and personal factors. In other words, these studies have identified the causes of domestic violence at different levels of the society; namely socio-cultural and individual factors which can lead to the occurrence of family violence. Given the importance of domestic violence and its physical and psychological impact on family, the present study attempted to identify the main factors which cause the occurrence of domestic violence in Tehrani families. To do this, researcher-made questionnaires were distributed amongst couples referring to family courts to file for divorce because of domestic violence. Our results showed that men identified factors such as lack of verbal communication and their wife’s complaint’s about children were mostly the main causes of their disagreements. On the other hand, women believed that factors such as husbands’ overprotection, complaint about food and lack of cooperation in house chores were the main causes of disagreements. Furthermore, the obtained results indicated significant relationship between domestic violence and false cultural beliefs. Therefore, the present study showed that in order to explain domestic violence one needs to take into account a variety of factors which is an indication of the complexity of this undesirable phenomenon.
