Question 1

What are the two dominant forces that shape intimate partner violence?&#10;A) control and violence&#10;B) structural factors and cultural norms&#10;C) media and institutions&#10;D) individual factors and control

Accepted Answer

Structural factors such as poverty and gender inequality, as well as cultural norms that condone aggression and the use of force, are the two dominant forces that shape intimate partner violence. Control and violence may be part of the dynamic, but they are not the underlying forces driving the behavior. Media and institutions may contribute to the problem, but they are not dominant forces. Individual factors can play a role in intimate partner violence, but they do not shape it on their own.

Question 2

What constraints other than economics is a reason that people stay in abusive relationships?&#10;A) the use of control and domination by the batterer&#10;B) the perpetrator is almost always male.&#10;C) children are involved&#10;D) the two people claim to love each other.

Accepted Answer

D

Question 3

Tapping phone lines, hacking into email accounts, and following the victim as she travels to work or school, on errands, and so forth are examples of what kind of IPV?&#10;A) Homicide&#10;B) Intimate terrorism&#10;C) Stalking&#10;D) Situational couple violence

Accepted Answer

Stalking involves a pattern of behavior where the perpetrator follows, watches, and/or harasses the victim, and can include activities such as monitoring phone calls and hacking into email accounts. Homicide refers to the act of killing another person, while intimate terrorism and situational couple violence are types of IPV that involve physical violence, but do not necessarily involve stalking or surveillance.

Question 4

What is the difference between intimate terrorism and situational couple violence?&#10;A) Intimate terrorism is specifically to maintain control over one's partner while situational couple violence is not motivated by control.&#10;B) Intimate terrorism involves physical violence whereas situation couple violence does not.&#10;C) Intimate terrorism is not motivated by control while situational couple violence is motivated by control.&#10;D) Intimate terrorism is not spurred by an event or situation while situational couple violence can be.

Accepted Answer

Intimate terrorism is a pattern of power and control that is motivated by a desire to dominate the partner, while situational couple violence arises from conflicts that occur in the relationship and is not motivated by a desire for control. Therefore, choice A is the best answer. Choices B, C, and D are not accurate descriptions of the differences between the two types of violence.

Question 5

Which form of abuse is the most common?&#10;A) Stalking&#10;B) Emotional abuse&#10;C) Intimate terrorism&#10;D) Homicide

Accepted Answer

Emotional abuse is considered to be the most common form of abuse in relationships. It involves the use of manipulation, humiliation, and intimidation to control and harm a partner emotionally. While other forms of abuse, such as physical or sexual, may be easier to identify, emotional abuse can be harder to recognize and can have long-term effects on a person's mental and emotional well-being.

Question 6

Question 7

What three variables do sociologist use to define social class?&#10;A) income, status, assets&#10;B) status, education, income&#10;C) income, education, occupation&#10;D) income, status, occupation

Accepted Answer

Sociologists typically use income, education, and occupation to define social class. These three variables are considered to be the most important indicators of a person's social status and opportunities in society. Income is a measure of a person's current financial resources, education reflects their level of formal education and training, and occupation is a measure of their position in the labor market, including their income and social status. Status and assets may also be relevant factors, but they are typically viewed as secondary to income, education, and occupation.

Question 8

The ecological fallacy:&#10;A) refers to the way social positions, social roles, and networks of social relationships are arranged in our institutions.&#10;B) refers to the most severe outcome of physical violence.&#10;C) refers to the fact that aggregate-level data cannot be used to predict individual-level risk for an event or experience.&#10;D) refers to the fact that sometimes one or more of the variables that make up &#34;social class&#34; are inconsistent with the others.

Accepted Answer

The ecological fallacy refers to the problem of making inferences about an individual based on aggregate-level data. This means that we cannot assume that individual-level risk or experience can be predicted solely based on the characteristics of a larger group or population.

Question 9

Affluence protects women from IPV.

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that affluence does not necessarily protect women from intimate partner violence (IPV); IPV occurs across all socioeconomic levels, and factors such as power dynamics, control, and cultural norms play significant roles in its prevalence.

Question 10

Economic abuse can be as painful as physical abuse.

Economic abuse, which involves controlling a person's finances and access to resources, can have serious and long-lasting effects on a victim's well-being and autonomy. It can also serve as a form of power and control over the victim, similar to physical abuse.
