结合来自撒哈拉以南非洲30个不同国家的580，000名妇女的人口与健康调查数据，我们分析了在一个暴力侵害妇女行为创纪录高的地区，亲密伴侣暴力的发生率和接受程度如何随时间和空间而变化。我们回顾了现有的文献资源对亲密伴侣暴力的影响，提取可检验的，往往是相互矛盾的假设在微观和宏观层面上，并在跨层次的互动。我们建议扩展现有的理论，考虑到在社区层面的态度。在实证分析中，我们发现没有证据表明，资源保护免受虐待在个人层面上，虽然资源与较低的接受。我们发现，资源的不平等，无论是在家庭内部，并在总体水平上，与更多的虐待。最后，我们发现，在对殴打妻子的接受度相对较高的社区，就业妇女面临更大的虐待风险。(C)2017作者（S）爱思唯尔有限公司出版
Combining DHS data for 580,000 women from 30 different countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, we analyze how both the incidence and the acceptance of intimate partner violence vary across time and space, in a region with record high levels of violence against women. We review the existing literature regarding the impact of resources on intimate partner violence, extracting testable and often conflicting hypotheses at the micro and macro level, and on the interaction across levels. We propose to extend existing theory to take into account attitudes at the community level. In the empirical analysis, we find no evidence that resources protect against abuse at the individual level, although resources are associated with lower acceptance. We find that resource inequality, both within the household and at the aggregate level, is associated with more abuse. Finally, we find that employed women face greater risk of abuse in communities with relatively higher acceptance of wife-beating. (C) 2017 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
