General Power-Control Theory of Women. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Feb 2009, Pages: 116
Although Grasmick, Hagan, Blackwell, and Arneklev
(1996) expanded general power-control theory to
include both pro- and anti-social risky behaviors
more than ten years ago, there have been no
empirical tests of the theory to date. The current
investigation tested a comprehensive model of
general power-control theory using four different
South Korean samples: women who enter traditionally
male-dominated occupations (police officers and
physicians), female prison inmates, and women
incarcerated for intimate partner killing.
Multigroup SEM approach was used to compare group
means of latent constructs. The findings related to
women’s patriarchal attitudes and risk preference
support the general power-control theory which focus
on both pro- and anti-social risky behaviors, but
the ones related to patriarchy of the family of
origin support Hagan’s original power-control theory
focusing on only anti-social risky behaviors.
