Notes: The total score of DV measures is 10 at maximum because we asked 10 questions on DVs, and here we used dummies for each item of DV. The 10 DV items consist of five types of DVs (e.g., “ignoring” and “hitting”) and who did it (i.e., wife or husband). In addition to this, we measured the frequency of DVs in three categories (i.e., Never, Sometimes, and Frequently). Thus, For the results of “More Than Once = 1,” we count the number of DVs for which the respondent chose “Sometimes” or “Frequently.” For the results of “Frequently = 1” in our survey, we counted the number of DVs for which the respondent chose “Frequently” only, while the results of “Frequently = 1” in J-SHINE, we count the number of DVs in which the respondent chose “More than Twice,” since the J-SHINE survey counted the number of DVs in three categories (i.e., None, Once, and More than twice).
