Abstract
AbstractThis article presents a Q methodology study of mediation trainees' responses to a performance art piece depicting victims' experiences with domestic violence. The piece employs an image‐based format as a method of increasing mediation trainees' sensitivity to and recognition of domestic violence. Respondents varied significantly in their perceptions. Some individuals interpreted the piece as an immediate and literal portrayal of domestic violence, but others expressed the perspective that it was inappropriate to be viewing a personal and private problem. While the piece elicited strong response, troubling questions were raised regarding whether some mediators are disinclined to consider the possibility of domestic violence, thereby precluding any chance of a fair or just settlement.
