Abstract :

The main aim of this article was to examine the relationship between demographic, social, cultural and psychological factors and husbands’ attitudes toward violence against wives in the family. The sampling frame of this survey research comprised all monogamous men in Shiraz with at least one year of marital life. 400 men selected as the sample of the study employing a multistage stratified random sampling strategy responded to a questionnaire. The results of this research showed that there was no significant relationship between husband's age and the education difference of couples and the husband’s attitudes toward violence against wives. However, there was a significant relationship between the number of children, husband’s marriage age, age difference of the couple, husband’s beliefs about gender stereotypes, husband's ethnicity, husband's job, husband’s observation of parents’ violence in the original family, husband’s satisfaction with marital life and the husband’s attitude toward violence against the wife. The findings of research, further, indicated a strong correlation between the cultural factor of husband’s beliefs about gender stereotypes and the husband’s attitude toward diverse types of violence against the wife
