利用最近一次调查中关于配偶暴力和决策的信息，这项研究解决了墨西哥家庭中与婚姻权力有关的两个问题。第一个问题是各种婚姻权力描述的准确性。结果表明，妻子面临不同的情况。丈夫的支配地位既不是普遍的，也不是不可克服的。第二个问题是，婚姻权力是否与现代化或边缘化发展后果观点中所述的进程有关。与现代化观点一致，教育程度是影响妻子遭受家庭暴力、在决定中拥有平等发言权的可能性以及对决定影响力的满意度的一个关键变量。结果还表明，经济机会本身在这两个角度都被过分强调。
Using information on spousal violence and decision making from a recent survey, this research addresses two issues pertaining to marital power in Mexican families. The first issue is the accuracy of various portraits of marital power. The results show that wives face diverse circumstances. Husband dominance is neither universal nor insurmountable. The second issue is whether marital power is associated with processes specified in the modernization or marginalization perspectives on the consequences of development. Consistent with the modernization perspective, educational attainment is a key variable affecting wives' exposure to domestic violence, likelihood of having an equal say in decisions, anti satisfaction with influence in decisions. The results also suggest that economic opportunities per se are overemphasized in both perspectives.
