Abstract
This study examined various demographic characteristics, the attitudes toward partner abuse, and the relationship between the attitudes toward partner abuse and the incidence of partner abuse among first generation Korean-Americans. The study employed a correlational explanatory design using a cross-sectional survey technique utilising a total of 223 Korean immigrant adults currently residing in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA. A three-part instrument was used for data collection. The use of domestic violence among Korean immigrants was highly prevalent. Korean-Americans generally did not approve the use of interpersonal violence against spouses/partners. The relationship between the attitudes toward partner abuse and the incidence of partner abuse as perpetrator was significantly correlated.
