Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
The study looked at causes of violence among couples in Makurdi Metropolis of Benue State, Nigeria. Two research questions and one hypothesis guided the study. Survey design was adopted for the study. 50 male and 50 female civil servants purposively selected formed the sample for the study. A self-developed instrument named “Causes of Violence among Couples Questionnaire” (CVCQ) was used to collect data. Mean and t-test were used to answer the research questions and for testing the null hypothesis respectively. Result shows that all the factors on the instrument often lead to violence with means above 2.50. Nagging, sexual deprivation, dishonesty, infidelity and neglect of responsibility emerged as the top five common causes of violence. The t-test yield 0.80 and as such, the hypothesis of no significant gender difference in perception of causes of violence is accepted. Based on the findings, the researchers recommend among others that, issues of conflict should be well managed to avoid or at least minimize incidence of violence and couples should identify their responsibilities and take them seriously.
