Our study reveals a critical issue: how we measure beliefs matters.
To truly understand attitudes toward IPV, we need indirect and mixed-methods approaches—not just self-reports.
Curious?

✅ Self-reports: Women appear more accepting of IPV than men.
❌ Indirect reports: Men actually express greater acceptance of IPV than women.
This suggests self-reports underestimate men’s true attitudes.
A major challenge for research relying on direct questioning.

We studied 317 married couples in Northwestern Tanzania.
🔹 We compared conventional self-reports with a novel indirect measure—wives reporting on their husbands' attitudes.
The results? A complete reversal of the expected pattern.

Self-reports on sensitive topics—like IPV—are often biased.
People may underreport stigmatized beliefs to appear more socially acceptable.
Could this explain why men consistently report lower acceptance of IPV than women?
We put this to the test.

📌 Key Findings:
🔹 Young men express supportive views but often fail to translate them into action.
🔹 Elders support women in ways that reinforce male authority.
🔹 Women prioritize practical over abstract rights-based support
🔹 Urbanization is reshaping gender norms—but not in uniform ways.
