该研究探讨了韩裔美国家庭中配偶虐待的发生率以及夫妻暴力、婚姻权力结构、压力以及社会经济和文化因素之间的相互关系。这些家庭的夫妻暴力发生率高于其他亚裔美国家庭。数据是从随机选择的 256 个家庭中收集的。在男性占主导地位的夫妇中，严重暴力、殴打妻子的发生率比平等主义夫妇高出四倍。承受较高压力的丈夫殴打妻子的几率更高。与男性占主导地位的夫妇相比，平等主义和女性占主导地位的夫妇中的妻子承受的压力较小，并且分享更多的决策权。夫妻在美国呆的时间越长，接受的美国教育越多，他们的婚姻关系就越平等，女性占主导地位。他们在移民之前所生活的传统文化的残余影响是男性比女性更容易施虐的一个因素。讨论了与夫妻暴力相关的文化差异和服务需求。
The study explored the incidence of spouse abuse in Korean American families and interrelations between conjugal violence, marital power structure, stress, and socioeconomic and cultural factors. Rate of conjugal violence in these families is higher than those for other Asian American families. Data were collected from 256 families selected at random. In male dominant couples, rate of severe violence, wife beating, was four rimes higher than that of egalitarian couples. Husbands who experienced higher levels of stress had a greater rate of assaulting their wives. Wives in egalitarian and female dominant couples experienced a lower amount of stress and shared more decision-making power than did those in the male dominant couples. The longer the couples had been in the United States and the more American education they had received the more egalitarian and female-dominant marital relations they tended to have. The residual influence of the traditional culture, in which they lived prior to immigration, is a factor suggesting why men were more abusive than women. Cultural differences associated with conjugal violence and needs for services are discussed.
