Introduction Physical abuse in intimate relationships is a serious societal and psychological problem that a number of people encounter throughout their lives. The mechanisms that form abusers and the impact of such experience on the abused attracted researchers’ attention due to its ubiquity and scale that this public health issue reached. Its continual growth and the need for more substantial communal attention obtained recognition from the World Health Organization (Tan, 2018). Virginia T. Tan (2018), in her study “Sleeping With My Abuser: A Qualitative Study on the Development of Transferred Aggression Expression among Battered Women,” aims to analyze and synthesize the experience of women, who once found themselves in physically abusive intimate relationships. The research’s principal question is what experience battered women undergo; based on the information gathered apropos of the issue, Tan (2018) strived to construct a transferred aggression expression model. The literature selected for the study revolved around women’s perpetration of aggression. Nonetheless, varying points of view (Bandura’s social learning theory, for instance) were incorporated to exclude the possibility of selection bias. This paper aims to summarize and analyze Tan’s study (2018), addressing its research methods and analytical approaches. Summary of Methods The study under consideration used Strauss and Corbin’s theoretical framework for developing a grounded theory as a foundation for its research design to extract interpretations from the collected data. Due to research’s geographical consideration, eighteen Philippine women were selected to participate. Non-probability sampling was applied, as the participants were chosen considering whether they had lived with an abusive partner, had a child, and were disposed to tell their stories. The interview served as the primary data collection instrument and was conducted in two parts. Firstly, the women’s demographic information was accumulated, and, secondly, a questionnaire regarding life in abusive intimate relationships was distributed. Since the questionnaire was initially developed in English, translation to Filipino, and then back to English was required. Such research methods as bracketing, epoché, or reflexivity were not mentioned in the study in question. On the other hand, open, axial, and selective coding were used in the data analysis; the codes were organized and categorized, reflecting themes that repeatedly arose from the women’s testimonies. In addition to various coding procedures, sorting and comparison were employed. To ensure the research’s credibility, dependability, and adherence to principles of the grounded theory that Strauss and Corbin outlined, respondent validation was performed. After certain stages of the research were completed, the participants were contacted and provided with an overview of the responses. Consequently, they were asked to confirm that the results coincided with their experiences: the women compared the responses and stated that they were precise. This supplementary attention to the alignment between the data and the women’s perception of their experience may signify the study’s reliability. Summary of Findings
