Public Attitudes toward Reporting Partner Violence against Women and Reporting Behavior
Gracia, Enrique; Herrero, Juan
Journal of Marriage and Family, v68 n3 p759-768 Aug 2006
Drawing from attitude-behavior research tradition, this study used a national probabilistic sample of the Spanish adult population (N = 2,432) to test hypotheses regarding correlates of public attitudes toward reporting partner violence against women, and the relationship between attitudes toward reporting and actual reporting behavior. Results show the importance of several correlates of public attitudes toward reporting. Also, our results have suggested a potential disconnect between attitudes and behavior because failure to intervene appears to be a common response of those aware of incidents of partner violence against women.
