      ab: Few studies outside North America have examined social attitudes regarding wife assaults. This article reports the results of a national survey of 510 randomly selected Singapore adults. Similar to findings in the U.S. and Australia, this study found overwhelming public disapproval of wife beatings but an acceptance of certain situational justifications by many respondents, for example when the woman was seen as violating prescribed sex roles of the “good mother” and “loyal wife.” Demographic and attitudinal factors were associated with variations in the disapproval of using force in marriage.
