According to groundbreaking research by the Australian Institute of Family Studies, one in three Australian men has admitted to committing domestic violence. The study identifies key factors associated with reducing intimate partner violence (IPV), such as the positive impact of affectionate father-son relationships, which can decrease IPV risk by 48%. The findings also indicate that strong social support and mental health stability are crucial, with men experiencing depression being significantly more likely to report IPV. The Ten To Men study tracked the behaviors of thousands of men and revealed alarming statistics regarding emotional and physical abuse within intimate relationships.
The report emphasized that fostering affectionate relationships between fathers and sons can reduce the risk of intimate partner violence by up to 48%.
Men with moderate or severe depressive symptoms are 62% more likely to commit intimate partner violence, highlighting the link between mental health and aggression.
