学者们认为，制度不平等和对资源的控制与性别暴力有关。然而，心理学家尚未重新定位他们的研究问题，以检验结构性不平等如何导致权力失衡和基于性别的规范，从而长期威胁妇女的健康和安全。这项研究为围绕土地所有权在改变性别关系和妇女遭受暴力方面的作用的假设提供了理论框架和检验，这些假设已在文献中提出，但从未经过实证检验。在尼加拉瓜农村进行的调查显示，妇女的土地所有权挑战了传统的性别意识形态，增强了妇女在婚姻关系中的权力和控制力，从而减少了暴力程度。研究结果对于发展背景下基于性别的暴力的讨论以及能够为妇女制定更公平政策的举措具有重要意义。该研究通过提出一部小说，将心理学置于妇女人权、全球化和社会变革的十字路口
Scholars have argued that institutional inequities and control over resources are linked to gender-based violence. However, psychologists have yet to reposition their research questions to examine how structural inequities lead to power imbalances and gender-based norms that perpetuate threats to women’s health and safety. This study provides a theoretical framework for, and an examination of, hypotheses surrounding the role of land ownership in shifting gender relations and women’s receipt of violence that have been posed in the literature but never empirically tested. Surveys conducted in rural Nicaragua revealed that land ownership among women challenges traditional gender ideology and increases women’s power and control within the marital relationship, which in turn, reduces levels of violence. The findings have important implications for the discussion of genderbased violence in the context of development and for initiatives that can lead to more equitable policies for women. The study puts psychology at the crossroads of women’s human rights, globalization, and social change by putting forth a novel
