Analysis Approach
As was authored by Heckemann, Thilo, and Wolf (2020), Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) is the preferred psychological software to perform data analysis for this study. SPSS will be considered based on its advantages. These include the ability to manage a complex data set, knowledge of data management, and its quick and easy display of data tables. In 2014 researcher Daniel Arkkelin from Valparaiso University conducted a Psychology Curricular Materials using SPSS to Understand Research and Data Analysis. SPSS was the preferred method since Daniel Arkkelin had used it successfully.
Variables of the Study
Higbee et al. (2020) define variables as anything that has quality and quantity that varies. A dependent variable is a variable that the researcher is testing in research. A dependent variable depends on other factors, for example, age. An independent variable affects the dependent variable. An independent variable stands alone, and it is not changed by the other variables being measured. An independent variable is controlled in the study to test its effects on the dependent variable. An example of an independent variable includes educational level, age, and occupation.
Dependent variable (Y): the primary focus to the study The dependent variable to be tested is the emotional Abuse of Women.
Independent variable (X): are the variables that affect the emotional abuse of women. The independent variables in the study will be the indicators of women’s injury, such as control, humiliation, shame, isolation, and blame.
Other variables: the other variables include moderator variables. The other variables to be included in the study are marital status, age, and occupation, and education level.
Data Analysis
According to various psychology research conducted over the past, both qualitative and quantitative analysis manifests itself in the investigation. Psychology data cannot portray a single distribution; hence both thematic and quantitative analysis is appropriate (Jaspal 2020). This study has been represented as a qualitative approach; therefore, it will be a qualitative analysis only.
Thematic Analysis
The approach analyzes unstructured and non-numerical data. The coding of the data in the SPSS will make it easier to interpret respondents’ feedbacks collected through questionnaires. The data will be coded manually using an inductive coding approach. According to Jaspal (2020), the method has to begin from scratch, with codes based on the collected data. There will be no codebook as the codes will raise from the survey responses contained on questionnaires.
Discussions
Numerous scholars have educative ideologies concerning women’s abuse. Emotional abuse of women is still the highest form of abuse. The scholars have identified the various warning signs of an abusive relationship, which are isolation, shame, control, and blame (Hendrix 2020). The different strategies to curb women’s abuse include education and employment. The possible approaches to curb women abuse include challenging women in abusive relationships to speak up, raise awareness and dangers of hurtful traditions and mobilize women to fight against harmful practices.
Implications of the study
The study will play a very significant role for women, especially those in abusive relationships. The study will discover the various authors’ ideologies concerning women abuse. The study will help women to know the multiple signs of emotional abuse, for instance, control, humiliation, and isolation. The women will also learn who they can avoid abusive relationships.
