Abstract:
Introduction
Wife abuse is considered as a social deviance in many societies. In order to measure wife abuse, access to a valid and reliable questionnaire is necessary. This study aimed to test the reliability and validity of a questionnaire which designed to measure wife abuse.
Method
In this methodological study, we used multistage sampling to select 557 married persons from Tehran. The initial questionnaire was developed by item generation through comprehensive literature review and existing scales. The validity and the reliability of the questionnaire have been examined by Varimax exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha respectively.
Results
The result of exploratory factor analysis led us reduce the number of items of the questionnaire to 19 and load them on 5 factors including mild physical violence, severe physical violence, emotional violence, sexual and verbal violence. The variance of these selected subscales was explained as 72% of all the constructs. The reliability of the questionnaire was also approved by Cronbach's alpha. Internal consistencies for all factors exceeded 0.70.
Discussion
The final questionnaire contains not only a suitable number of questions but also it covers a variety of factors. The results of our analysis shows that it can be used as the suitable tool for measuring the wife abuse in Iran.
