Coercive Control in Christian Marriages Dissertation
The University of Salford Manchester invites you to take part in a Master’s Dissertation research study evaluating the effects of conservative Christian ‘male headship’ theology on coercive control in marriages. There is a gap in the available research examining the connection between non-physical coercive control and the teachings within this movement. This study aims to address this gap to contribute to the body of research examining coercive control in intimate partner relationships in the Christian environment.
The survey is comprised of four questionnaires and will take between 20 and 30 minutes to complete.
Participants are eligible for the study if they are female, 18+, have belonged to a group that teaches ‘male headship’ theology, were married while in the group, and have since left that group, at least six months ago. If a participant is currently suffering from an acute or severe untreated mental health condition, they are strongly advised not to take part. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the researcher or dissertation supervisor at the email addresses below.
