Knowledge and perception of wives’ violence against husbands in Northern Ghana
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study contributes to existing literature by reporting on knowledge and perception of wives’ intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration in Ghana using a sample of 310 college respondents from Northern Ghana. Overall, 90% of the sample viewed wives as perpetrators of IPV. Wives are viewed as perpetrators of physical violence (73%), psychological violence (83%), and sexual violence (85%). Further, a majority of participants know wives who have perpetrated physical violence (66%), psychological violence (76%), and sexual violence (58%). An ANOVA results showed that male participants rated wives’ sexual violence (M = 5.11, SD = 2.88) and physical violence (M = 4.65, SD = 2.62) very serious compared to female participants (M = 3.84, SD = 2.75) and (M = 3.89, SD = 2.67), respectively. Further, participants in Year 3 (M = 5.07, SD = 2.81) rated wives’ psychological violence very serious compared to those in Year 2 (M = 3.84, SD = 2.47), and participants in Year 4 rated wives’ psychological violence very serious compared to those in Year 2 (M = 5.11, SD = 2.95). Several interpersonal, intrapersonal, economic, and socio-cultural factors are identified as reasons for wives’ IPV. Alongside efforts to curb men’s IPV against women, wives’ violence against husbands should be acknowledged and addressed by policymakers and practitioners.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
