Item Restricted The Filipino woman and domestic violence: determining the factors associated with women’s risk of being a victim(2018-12-20) Moleño, Dianne Therese D. ; Tansengco, Maria Annika Gabrielle G. ; Daway-Ducanes, Sarah Lynne S.This study explores the role of individual and household socioeconomic factors in predicting the incidence of intimate partner violence (IPV) in the Philippines. We analyze the determinants of IPV in light of prominent sociological theories — (1) the Absolute Resource Theory (ART), (2) Household Bargaining Model (HBM), and (3) Male Backlash Model (MBM). We then determine which theory best predicts specific types of IPV – whether physical, emotional or sexual IPV – in the Philippine setting. Using data from the 2008 and 2013 National Demographic Health Survey, our logistics regression results reveal that ART and HBM best predict less severe physical violence while MBM best predicts sexual violence.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.
