研究目标：对妇女的家庭暴力 (DVAW) 的可接受性在塑造受害者所处的社会环境方面发挥着重要作用，这反过来又可能有助于维持或减少我们社会中 DVAW 的水平。本研究分析了 DVAW 在欧盟 (EU) 可接受性的相关性。设计：对欧盟 15 个国家/地区 212 个地区（城市）内的 13 457 人进行三级序数逻辑回归。抽样是多阶段的，具有随机概率。所有采访都是在人们家中面对面进行的。结果变量是 DVAW 的可接受性。分析了个人、地区和国家层面的多重相关性。背景：欧盟，1999 年。参与者：使用 1999 年所有成员国 15 岁及以上居民的国家数据（n = 13 457）。平均答复率为 47%，但不同国家的答复率有所不同 (23% - 73%)。 主要结果：那些认为 DVAW 不太严重且频率较低的人报告了较高的可接受程度。认识施害者的男性的可接受性较高，认识受害者的男性的可接受性较低。受害者指责态度与较高的可接受程度相关。在性别赋权衡量标准较高的国家，指责和不指责受害者的人的可接受性差异更大。 结论：欧盟仍然普遍存在指责受害者纵容 DVAW 的态度，从而形成了社会对 DVAW 的接受氛围。仍需要进一步努力降低 DVAW 的可接受性。
Study objective: The acceptability of domestic violence against women (DVAW) plays an important part in shaping the social environment in which the victims are embedded, which in turn may contribute either to perpetuate or to reduce the levels of DVAW in our societies. This study analyses correlates of the acceptability of DVAW in the European Union (EU).Design: Three level ordinal logistic regression of 13 457 people nested within 212 localities ( cities), nested within 15 countries of the EU. Sampling is multistage with random probability. All interviews were face to face in people's homes. The outcome variable was acceptability of DVAW. Multiple correlates at the individual, locality, and country level were analysed.Setting: European Union, 1999.Participants: National data were used of residents 15 years old and above of all member states in 1999 (n = 13 457). Average response rate was 47%, although it varied across countries (23% - 73%).Main results: Higher levels of acceptability were reported by those who perceived DVAW as less severe and less frequent. Acceptability is higher among men who know a perpetrator and lower among men who know a victim. Victim blaming attitude is associated with higher levels of acceptability. In countries with higher gender empowerment measure the difference in acceptability among those who blame and those who do not blame the victim is greater.Conclusions: There are still widespread attitudes in the EU such as victim blaming that condone DVAW, contributing to a climate of social acceptability of DVAW. Further efforts to reduce the acceptability of DVAW are still needed.
