本章的目的是回顾和讨论跨文化研究已经或可能对我们理解家庭暴力做出的贡献。为了涵盖尽可能多的领域，我对跨文化研究进行了广泛的定义，包括任何涉及两个或多个文化群体的隐式或显式比较的信息收集和分析方法。文化群体的定义也很广泛，包括国家、国家内的政治分支、种族群体、小规模（原始的、无文字的）社会、农民社会等等。根据 Gelles 和 Straus（1979）的工作，家庭暴力被定义为家庭成员的行为很可能会给另一个家庭成员造成身体疼痛。本章通篇使用“殴打”一词，例如殴打妻子或殴打丈夫，指的是任何暴力行为，从耳光到用棍子殴打到用手枪谋杀。
The purpose of this chapter is to review and discuss the contributions cross-cultural studies have made or might make to our understanding of family violence. To cover as much territory as possible I have defined cross-cultural studies broadly to include any information collection and analysis approach that involves either the implicit or explicit comparison of two or more cultural groups. Cultural group is defined broadly as well, to include nations, political subdivisions within nations, ethnic groups, small-scale (primitive, nonliterate) societies, peasant societies, and so on. Following the work of Gelles and Straus (1979) family violence is defined as the action of a family member that will very likely cause physical pain to another family member. The term beating, such as wife beating or husband beating, is used throughout the chapter to refer to any violent act ranging from a slap to a beating with a stick to murder with a handgun.
