    Abstract:

    The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between emotional expression styles and the style of control documents in domestic violence against women with the role of gender stereotypes. The statistical population includes all women who referred to the forensic medicine of Alborz province in the city of Karaj in the spring of 2013, whose reason for referral was a beating by their husband, of which 100 people were given a questionnaire. The order of the questionnaires was as follows: emotional expression questionnaire by King and Ammons (1990), gender stereotypes questionnaire by Sandra Bam (1989), emotional inhibition questionnaire by Roger and Nashover (1987), document style questionnaire by Patterson, Abramson and Seligman, King and Ammons (1990) ambivalence questionnaire, and Strauss (1981) conflict tactics scale. The research design was correlational and data analysis was through hierarchical regression. The results showed that the acceptance of domestic violence has a significant direct relationship with emotional inhibition, negative attribution style, and feminine stereotypes, and a significant inverse relationship with the expression of negative emotions, masculine and neutral stereotypes.  It seems that the more positive and optimistic a person's attribution style is, the more daring, active, people-oriented, positive and pleasant emotions he has, and on the contrary, the more a person's attribution style is pessimistic and negative due to following female stereotypes and maintaining female roles, the more a person suffers from anxiety and despair. Therefore, women with a negative attribution style have low assertiveness, and with this feature, they deprive themselves of social support because they blame themselves too much for negative events and suffer from negative self-attribution, and this causes them to be caught in the cycle of domestic violence and not receive support from the community and family.

    Key words: domestic violence, emotional expression styles, attribution style, gender stereotypes.

    Introduction:

    The family is the smallest social unit, but the most important supportive and educational unit. People's need for peace and tranquility requires that a relationship based on emotion and reason be formed in the family in such a way as to bring a sense of security, assurance and health, support and satisfaction to the parties (Broad and Green 1983). The constructive role of women in creating moral and emotional bonds of family members is undeniable, but this goal cannot be achieved except by creating a calm, secure environment away from violence for all members of the family (Marwaridi 2016). Nowadays, there are many evidences that indicate the disruption in family relations and the resulting violence (Azamzadeh and Dehghan Fard 2015, Mohdi and Ahadi 2015).

    When it comes to the institution of the family, intimacy, love and affection immediately come to mind. The existence of stability, strength and order in this institution depends on the warm relations of family members with each other, but what destroys this atmosphere is conflict and conflict, which is the image It destroys the peace and security of the house (Khosravizadegan, 2016). Domestic violence is a tool for establishing power and dominance, which not only damages the peace and security of the family, but also the reputation and human dignity (Azamzadeh, Dehghan Fard; 1385).

    When violent behavior against women occurs within the framework of the family and between husband and wife, it is interpreted as domestic violence (Pourreza and Mousavi, 1382; World Health Organization, 1380).

    Violence, family violence, especially violence against women, is not a new phenomenon, but attention to it as a social issue goes back to the new era. Violence against women is a global problem and can be seen in most societies. Unfortunately, there are no accurate statistics on the phenomenon of spousal abuse in Iran, but the lack of statistics cannot be a justified reason for ignoring it. Regardless of how people perceive and accept or reject domestic violence, empirical observations and apparent evidence indicate the widespread existence of its types in Iranian families (Sam Geis, 2017; Foroughan, 2018; Mozazi, 2019). Although both men and women may commit acts of violence in the family, research shows that women are mistreated to a greater extent (Frost 1999, citing Sabrian Atash Nafs and Behnam 1382).

    Statement of the problem:

    Domestic violence is the most common form of violence, with the highest probability of repetition, the least report to the police and the most social, psychological and economic complications, which is often caused by the closest family member (such as the husband) (Bakhtiari and Omid Bakhsh, 2012; Johnson and Johnson, 2000, quoted by Bilali Meibdi and Hosni, 2013).

    Since the family consists of a husband and wife and the relations of its members are within the framework of the system of choosing a spouse (marital relations) and the system of mutual relations so that people can meet each other's needs, therefore, the family is a unit that has many social roles and the mutual relations of its members are formed based on the foundations and cultural needs of the society (Kajbaf, Neshat Dost, Khaloevi 2014). It is gender socialization, which means that women become familiar with behavioral patterns, norms and cultural orientations and gradually learn appropriate social attitudes and behavior and prepare for the future life (Verdinia et al., 2016).

    Today, gender discrimination has been reinforced in societies, various theories and empirical evidence (Good, 1989, and Gender Socialization Theory, 2003) in this field show that risk factors in terms of learning and gender socialization play a role in the formation of types and levels of violence against women (Shafer, 1992). that in marital relations according to cultural expectations, the man should take the leadership role (Kajbaf, Neshat Doost, Khalowi, 2014).

    Gender beliefs are linked to countless constructions and may have serious consequences for the present and future life of teenagers, for example, they can have an impact on self-confidence, depression, self-image, eating disorders, performing unpleasant acts and extreme deviant behaviors, sexual behaviors and occupational stereotypes based on gender. (Kinioui 2008, quoted by Khani Majed, Pour Ebrahim and Fathabadi, 2013). Although there are differences between men and women, they are more similar in terms of behavior and personality than they are different. For example, some women are as aggressive as men, and some men are less aggressive than women (Whitman-McDonald, 2006, citing the same source). Any efforts by women's movements will remain fruitless. These stereotypes have permeated the society and are a major obstacle in changing the status of women (Adhami and Roganian, 2009).

    Psychological abuse is the foundation of all types of misbehavior, so all types of physical, emotional and sexual violence can be considered acute forms of domination and control (Kamp, 1998, quoted by Naderi, Heydari, Hosseinzadeh Maliki).

    Gender socialization is a general concept that provides an objective explanation of women's perception and attitude towards themselves and their related issues. Gender socialization is a process in which women become familiar with behavioral patterns, norms and cultural orientations, gradually learn appropriate attitudes and social behavior and prepare for the future life (Verdinia et al. 2010).

    The different characteristics that each society expects its people to possess based on their gender is a product of the sexual socialization process, according to which men are socialized for masculinity and women for femininity in accordance with the existing definitions in each society (Scanzoni, 1988).

    Socially accepted attitudes from the society make women accept, tolerate and react passively to violence; internalized teachings that legitimize men's aggression and women's submissiveness and silence (Verdinia et al., 2009).
