Normative Beliefs Regarding the Maintenance of Intimate Relationships Among Abused and Nonabused Women

STEPHANIE J. WOODS

The University of Akron

This study examined the normative beliefs regarding how women act in maintaining intimate relationships. A convenience sample of 53 abused and 52 nonabused women completed self-report measures related to physical and emotional abuse by an intimate partner (Index of Spouse Abuse), normative beliefs regarding relationships (Silencing the Self), and their self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem). Results indicated that abused and nonabused women with low self-esteem tended to have higher levels of belief in societal norms and gender-specific socializations regarding how women should maintain relationships. Abused women exhibited significantly higher levels of externalized self-perception, self-sacrifice, silence, and disconnection in intimate relationships when compared to nonabused women.
