Abstract:
The facilitation of domestic abuse perpetrator programs (DAPPs) by mixed gender co-facilitation pairs brings different facilitator perspectives and enables the modeling of egalitarian and respectful male-female relationships. This study analyzed 22 video and audio recordings of community-based DAPP groups featuring male participants, and male and female facilitators. Using thematic analysis, we aimed to understand how facilitators engaged participants and whether the facilitator\'s gender affected this. We found an asymmetry in the positioning of the facilitators. Group participants challenged both facilitators, but especially the female facilitators. Facilitator strategies toward behavior change included softening direct challenges (female facilitators) and mobilizing the shared category of men (male facilitators). Implications from this study are for reflective practice in facilitator management and supervision specifically focused on gendered power dynamics. Skilled facilitation is key to behavior change and the gendered interplay within groups may be a crucial element in the reduction of interpersonal violence and abuse.
摘要:
通过混合性别共同促进对促进家庭虐待犯罪者计划(DAPP)带来了不同的促进者观点,并实现了平等和尊重的男女关系的建模。这项研究分析了以男性参与者为特征的社区DAPP组的22个视频和音频记录,男性和女性主持人。使用主题分析,我们的目的是了解促进者如何参与参与者,以及促进者的性别是否影响这一点。我们发现主持人的位置不对称。小组参与者对两位主持人提出质疑,尤其是女性主持人。行为改变的促进者策略包括软化直接挑战(女性促进者)和动员共享类别的男性(男性促进者)。这项研究的含义是在促进者管理和监督中的反思性实践,特别关注性别权力动态。熟练的促进是行为改变的关键,群体内的性别互动可能是减少人际暴力和虐待的关键因素。
