Work and Domestic Violence: Examining Spillover Among Women

Huzyak, Teresa M.

Abstract Details

2008, Master of Arts, University of Akron, Sociology.
In an effort to more clearly identify the relationship between occupational violence and domestic violence among women, the present study is a replication and extension of Melzer's (2002) study on male occupational violence spillover. In addition to utilizing social learning theory and doing gender to predict women's odds of perpetrating domestic violence, the current study incorporates an alternative interpretation of gendered relative resource theory, as well as alternative forms of domestic violence. Women's use of spanking/slapping with children and shouting are examined as verbal and physical aggression. Results show support for the doing gender perspective.
