- Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between gender attitude of men who have/have not resorted to physical violence against women and the uses of violence, and to examine the other factors having affect on violence. The research is based on quantitative and general scanning model (singular and relational) conducted on 386 men. The questions regarding socio-demographic status of the attendants, the way they were brought up in childhood, their bad habits, their attitude on violence against women and gender were directed to the attendants. Research data has been collected through face to face survey. Assessment of the data has been carried out with SPSS 21.0. The research has been conducted by benefiting from the Chi-Square (χ²), Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis H tests as the collected data do not exhibit normal distribution. According to the survey 13,7 % of men used violence to women. The men who used violence to women showed less fair attitude than the others. It is observed that the factors such as the education level of the partner, employment of the partner, number of children and the way of marriage are the effective variables on violence against women. Gender attitude is effective on violence against women. Therefore, it is necessary for the men to adopt more equalitarian gender attitude for the reduction of violence against women. Thus, in terms of combating violence, it is revealed how significant it is to give more focus on studies which raise awareness in society on gender equality. The research provides supporting information on the point that the study of violence against women should also be worked with men besides women. This carries importance in terms of drawing attention to the deficiency in the literature and to give a more integrated point of view to solve the violence against women.
