This study documents psychometrics of the Turkish version of Intimate Partner Violence Attitude Scale-Revised (IPVAS-R; Fincham et al. in Psychological Assessment, 20, 260-269, 2008). Dating college students (n=280) from four universities completed Turkish versions of the IPVAS-R, Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Abuse, Physical Assault of Conflict Tactics Scale - Revised, and Ambivalent Sexism Inventory. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the three factor structure of the IPVAS-R, albeit with an item change from the Abuse to the Control factor, due to the cultural nuances. This factor structure was cross validated with a second independent sample of 205 dating college students. Convergent validity and satisfactory internal consistency were also reported. The IPVAS-R was found to be a psychometrically sound measure to gauge attitudes toward psychological and physical dating aggression among college students outside of North America.

Masculinity ideology and threat to manhood as precursors of violence against women in Turkey Türkoğlu Demirel, Beril; Cingöz Ulu, Banu (2019-05-01) This study aims to explore the effect of masculinity ideology (MI) and the threat to manhood (TM) on violence against women (VAW) in Turkey by testing two mediational models. The data is collected from a community sample by using quantitative research methods. The first model tests the effect of MI on attitudes towards VAW through TM. A second model employs the data of men in a relationship and tests the effect of MI on the actual perpetration of violence through TM and attitudes towards VAW. Endorsement of...

Money-earning activities and empowerment experiences of rural migrant women in the city Erman, Tahire; Kalaycıoğlu, Sibel; Rittersberger, Helga İda (Elsevier BV, 2002-7) This article investigates empowerment in relation to money-earning activities in the context of rural-to-urban migrant women in poor families in Turkey.
