The current study aims at examining the predicted relationship between domestic violence and negative attitude toward marital violence among battered women. The present study focuses on the factors that contribute to battered women's attitude toward gender stereotype and the level of violence acceptance. Despite numerous studies on men's aggression and factors that impact men's violence against women, very little is known about why the severly abused women are more likely to have prejudicial beliefs in rape myths and violence. Hierarchial multiple-regression was conducted on 119 battered women. The raw data were downloaded from the Korea Social Science Data Archive(KOSSDA). Korean Institute Criminology collected this data from female shelters for battered women in 2002. The authors use partial data from the raw data files to explore the factors that affect acceptance of violence of female victims. The result showed that the severity of domestic violence was not statistically correlated with women's perception of cultural role. However, significant association was found between women's education level and her attitude toward violence(1 step model). In second multiple regression analysis, which was added "the severity of wife assault" into the 1 step model, education level and the severity of violence were statistically significant predictors for her beliefs in violence toward women. If the participants had beaten more often and severely from her partners, the women are at increased risk of perceiving it to be an accepted behavior to some degree. Offender-related factors(age, education, and alcohol problem) were not significant factors that are related to victim's acceptance of violence. Such findings have implications for understanding of battered women syndrome and comprehensive intervention strategies and policies for battered women.
