The Effects Of Ptsd And Cultural Factors On Domestic Violence

Introduction The topic of my research design is the exploration between PTSD and cultural factors relating to domestic violence later on in life. Starting with my observations, firstly being how exposure of domestic abuse or lived environments when young make women more prone to PTSD and it’s side effects as an adult. My observation questions whether or not past experiences has any impact on how domestic violence will be handled or inflicted when these women are adults. It is my belief that PTSD and where someone comes from will lead women to be more prone to domestic violence when they are older. Firstly PTSD can lead to the women being less likely to go out and look for help and secondly if a young child is conditioned by cultural backgrounds that abuse is okay they will be less willing to stop the abuse or look for help. The variable that will be researched will be the effects of PTSD as a child and the impact that it has on relationships later on in life with the unit of analysis being the women. The articles I chose talk about effects of PTSD as a child and the effects of cultural conditioning as a child. The first article is, â€Å"Attachment Security and Parental Perception of Competency Among Abused Women in the Shadow of PTSD and Childhood Exposure to Domestic Violence† by Amiya Waldman-Levi, Ricky Finzi-Dottan and Naomi Weintraub.
