The authors recommend that battering intervention programming aimed at Vietnamese men should focus on examining and changing male attitudes of dominance and patriarchy. Results of logistic regression analyses indicated that there were no significant differences between Vietnamese batterers and non-batterers regarding their frequency of alcohol consumption and alcoholism levels. On the other hand, batterer’s attitudes toward women and toward violence were the strongest predictors of abusive behavior. Two other important predictors of battering behavior among Vietnamese men were level of education and age, with younger and less educated men more likely to engage in battering behavior. Other findings revealed that 31 percent of participants reported engaging in at least one abusive behavior toward their partner during the previous year. Participants were 200 Vietnamese men who were recruited from churches, temples, social organizations, and civic associations in the Dallas/Forth Worth area. Participants completed a self-report questionnaire that focused on their experiences of family violence, alcohol consumption patterns, demographic information, and attitudes toward women and the use of violence. Key predictors of battering behavior were analyzed using logistic regression analyses. Future research should focus on discovering the best practices for intervention with Vietnamese batterers as well as the ways in which cultural themes and values may be used to enhance treatment outcomes.
