本文发展了一种不平衡理论来解释南非亲密关系中对妇女的身体暴力。该理论提出了四种类型学：依赖、补偿、顺从和越轨，通过这些类型学，配偶之间资源贡献和权力分配的不平衡被假设为促成暴力的原因。依赖性假说认为，妻子的经济依赖性将导致更多的暴力行为。补偿假说认为，丈夫将使用武力来补偿他无法达到男性提供者的标准。服从假设表明，在男性占主导地位的家庭中，由于妇女的服从，暴力行为将会增加。最后，越轨假说认为，在女性主导的家庭中，男性会使用武力来惩罚他们的妻子，因为他们认为妻子违反了男性主导的性别规范。经验证据提供了一些支持的依赖，提交和逾越假说。
This article develops an imbalance theory to explain physical violence against women in intimate relationships in South Africa. The theory proposes four typologies: dependence, compensation, submission, and transgression, through which imbalances in resource contribution and power distribution between spouses are hypothesized to contribute to violence. The dependence hypothesis suggests that economic dependence of the wife will lead to more violence. The compensation hypothesis argues that the husband will use force to compensate for his inability to live up to the male-provider norm. The submission hypothesis suggests that violence will increase due to the submission of women in male-dominated families. Finally, the transgression hypothesis argues that men in female-dominated families will use force to punish their wives for supposedly transgressing the gender norm of male dominance. Empirical evidence provided some support for the dependence, submission, and transgression hypotheses.
