Intimate partner violence and its association with self-determination needs and gender-power constructs among rural South African women. Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 34(14), 2975– 2995. https://doi.org/10.1177/08862605166643161552-6518https://doi.org/10.1177/0886260516664316http://hdl.handle.net/10566/9169This study aimed to identify psychosocial correlates of intimate partner violence (IPV) by using constructs derived from the self-determination theory (SDT) and gender-power scales. Cross-sectional data (N = 238) were collected from women in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, and were used to test a structural equation model (SEM). The majority (87%) of the participants reported having sexual partners in the past 3 months, and in terms of IPV victimization, 36% and 26% of women had ever experienced verbal and physical abuse, respectively. Bivariate correlations showed that autonomy and beliefs about gender equality (BGE) were strongly associated with IPV.enGender equalityGender-based violenceSouth AfricaPsychologyWomenArticle
