Item Restricted How does intimate partner violence affect child development?(2022-01) Julio, Arjay D.; Reopta, Karizza Gem M.Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a socioeconomic, public health, and human development problem that causes negative effects on the well-being of victims. This study explores the effect of multiple dimensions of IPV, specifically physical violence, controlling behavior, and emotional abuse, on children's physical and cognitive development using data from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutritional Survey. We find evidence that IPV on mothers has adverse consequences on children's human capital. Our results suggest that the impact on child development is specific to the form of IPV. Maternal exposure to physical violence negatively affects children's physical characteristics, evidenced by a significant reduction in their body mass indices. On the other hand, mother's vulnerability to controlling behavior impairs children's cognitive abilities, significantly decreasing their test scores in mathematics, english, and nonverbal reasoning. These findings are robust to propensity score, nearest-neighbor, radius, and kernel matching methods. Meanwhile, we do not find a significant link between emotional abuse and height, body mass index, and test scores.Item Restricted Justifying violence: an analysis of Filipino women’s attitudes toward wife beating over time(2022-01-28) Lopez, Angela Marie R.; Rodriguez, Jose Antonio Miguel C.; Jandoc, Karl Robert L.This paper traces and analyzes the trends and patterns of the attitudes of Filipino women towards wife beating, one of the most common forms of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), from 2003 to 2017 in order to evaluate the impact of the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children (AVAWC) Act of 2004. It also evaluates the effect of different sociodemographic characteristics to the likelihood that a woman will possess attitudes that justify this form of violence. Using data from the National Demographic Health Surveys, we find that the proportion of women who agree that wife beating is justifiable due to different reasons decreased by about 60% over the 15-year period. A sizable portion of which happened between 2003-2008 which indicates a significant catalyst occurring between these years, in the form of the AVAWC Act among others. It was also uncovered that a woman’s urban residence, wealth, degree of exposure to mass media, and religious affiliation were all significant and negative predictors of their likelihood to justify wife beating. Meanwhile, education and employment were not robust in their effects in the model of analysis.Item Restricted The determinants of intimate partner violence in the Philippines (bleeding love)(2015-06) Gascon, Janine Camelle T.; Tacbaya, Ace C.; Arcenas, Agustin L.Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) or simply domestic violence is not only a health but an economic concern as well. IPV does not only undermine the productivity of those who experience domestic violence but also the economy as a whole. Domestic violence can be classified into three types: a) emotional, b) physical, and c) sexual Determinants were also classified into four categories: Individual, family, socio-structural and socio-cultural level. This study shows that on the individual level, educational difference of the spouses, husband's frequency of being drunk, women·s employment, income difference, and inter-generational violence increase incidence of partner-related violence, while spouses' age difference and women's age first cohabitation seem to he protective of women against domestic violence. On the family level, duration of cohabitation seems to protect wives from physical and sexual violence, while the effect of children on the incidence of domestic violence diverges-it decreases the likelihood of sexual violence but it could also increase risk of emotional and physical violence. In the social-structural and socio-cultural levels of analysis, certain levels of tolerance to violence makes the occurrence specific forms of violence more likely while unemployment and a wealth index of five seem to reduce the risk of IPV.
