本文介绍了定性研究结果，旨在开发更好的方法工具，澄清妇女和男子的态度，在孟加拉国农村地区的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）和他们的看法，规范IPV在他们的社区。认知访谈和焦点小组讨论被用来探索受访者的主观理解的标准调查问题，旨在引起对IPV的态度。我们发现，在某些情况下，当提供额外的背景时，证明IPV合理的参与者比例增加，这表明人口与健康调查（DHS）问题可能代表不了宽恕IPV的人的比例。此外，在这种社会背景下，大多数人还认为，IPV往往超出了社会认可的限制，应该采取措施阻止它，这是一个重要的警告，国土安全部的问题不是为了捕捉。这些研究结果表明，将额外的背景下到IPV的态度的问题将使这些问题的回答更有意义。
This article presents qualitative findings from a project designed to develop better methodological tools for clarifying women's and men's attitudes about intimate partner violence (IPV) in rural Bangladesh and their perceptions of norms about IPV in their communities. Cognitive interviews and focus-group discussions were used to explore respondents' subjective understanding of standard survey questions meant to elicit attitudes about IPV. We find that the proportion of participants who justified IPV under some circumstances increased when additional context was provided, suggesting that the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) questions may underrepresent the proportions of people who condone IPV. Moreover, most people in this social context also believed that IPV often goes beyond socially sanctioned limits and that something should be done to stop it-an important caveat that the DHS questions are not designed to capture. These findings suggest that incorporation of additional context into questions on IPV attitudes would make responses to these questions more meaningful.
