Description
Ruth Berkowitz and co-authors study links among patriarchal beliefs, conflict avoidance, and economic abuse in couples, in a 2024 paper. The sample held 321 adults from the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, a traditional and patriarchal culture. Beliefs were sorted into home roles, community norms, and broad claims of male power. The team tested how those beliefs connect to avoiding conflict and to economic violence by a partner.
Belief in patriarchal ideas sat at moderate levels, slightly higher among men. Men avoided conflict with partners more than women did. Patriarchal beliefs predicted conflict avoidance, above all among women. Rates of economic abuse did not differ clearly by sex, against prior work. The authors discuss how conflict avoidance may carry different meanings for men and women. They suggest men's avoidance may itself lower their odds of using economic control.
