Unveiling Generational Patterns: Examining the Intergenerational Transmission of Intimate Partner Violence and Impacts on Partner Victimization and Perpetration

Discipline: Psychology and Health

 

Abstract:

Intimate partner violence (IPV) has enduring intergenerational impacts. We identified the factors associated with IPV victimization and perpetration, as well as its relationship to parental IPV, using national data from the Philippines. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the 2022 Philippine Demographic and Health Survey data, focusing on 8,882 women aged 15 to 49 years. We utilized Poisson regression analysis with robust variance. The unadjusted results identified the factors associated with IPV victimization and perpetration. While the adjusted results highlighted the association between parental IPV and IPV victimization and perpetration. We found that IPV victimization was significantly influenced by the number of children, marital status, lower education level, residence in rural areas, and parental IPV, while IPV perpetration was significantly influenced by employment status, number of children, marital status, and parental IPV. After adjusting for confounders, we observed a significant increase in the risk of partner victimization and perpetration by 108% and 133%, respectively, due to parental IPV. Among Filipino women, witnessing parental IPV during childhood was associated with a doubling of the risk for subsequent experiences of both IPV victimization and perpetration in adulthood, regardless of socio-demographic factors. This underscores the existence of intergenerational cycles of violence and underscores the necessity of primary prevention efforts within families.
