Domestic violence experienced by women in families all over the world is a controversial social problem the causes of which are closely associated with definite psychological questions. That is why the issue of domestic violence is actively discussed not only in specialized research articles on psychology but also in articles from many popular newspapers and magazines because of the question’s urgency and its controversial character. It is important to concentrate on the validity of statements that can be presented in popular and scholarly resources in relation to their practical appropriateness for the further discussion of the research question in detail. According to Cozby, validity can be faced, construct, convergent, concurrent, and criterion-oriented in relation to its type (Cozby, 2004). Statements and arguments on the topic of domestic violence experienced by women, which are proposed in popular and peer-reviewed articles, can be discussed from the perspective of their validity and usefulness for academic research. Peer-reviewed articles on the topic of domestic violence are more useful for the research because they follow the principle of construct validity and provide supported conclusions when articles from popular magazines do not present the necessary support for arguments, and these statements cannot be discussed as credible. The article “Domestic Violence among the Wealthy Hides behind ‘Veil of Silence’” presented in Newsweek discusses the issue of violence and abusive behaviours towards women. One of the main arguments of the article is the statement that spouses are inclined to continue following their abusive behaviours even realizing the sufferings of women (Shapiro, 2013). Despite the fact the author of the article discusses a controversial problem of domestic violence against women based on the data from recent researches and focusing on such causes for violence as the problematic economic state of the family, the article lacks sufficient theoretical background for discussing the problem because of its purpose to draw the audience’s attention to the issue depending on emotions, but not on facts. That is why, the articles’ statements and arguments are based on examples from the lives of famous persons and words of famous psychologists on the topic (Shapiro, 2013). The focus of the article is domestic violence in the lives of wealthy people as a counterargument to the idea that violence at home is typical for poor families because of their financial hardship. It is possible to speak about face validity in relation to the content and arguments presented in the article because provided conclusions and statistics are superficial (Cozby, 2004). The discussion of domestic violence in the above-mentioned article is triggered by a situation of killing the girlfriend of Oscar Pistorius in South Africa. The next article “3 Women a Day Killed by a Partner in South Africa” presented in Time aims to provide a more general discussion of the social situation in South Africa and possible psychological causes for domestic violence. The provided statistics on domestic violence in South Africa intend to evoke definite people’s emotions, but not to provide the results
