Results: PMWI sub-dimension, emotional verbal violence, and permissive attitude (r=-0.360 p<0.01), overprotective attitude (r=-0.467 p<0.01) and democratic attitude (r=-0.580 p<0.01) negative, moderate, authoritarian parent attitude (r=0.753 p<0.01) positive correlation was found. Of the PMWI sub-dimensions, responsibility had negatively moderate relationship with authoritative attitude (r=-0.527 p<0.01) and democratic attitude (r=-0.609 p<0.01), and a positive moderately significant relationship with authoritarian parental attitude (r=0.565 p<0.01) was detected. PMWI sub-dimension/blame threat had a moderate negative relationship with protective attitude (r=-0.594 p<0.01) and democratic attitude (r=-0.408 p<0.01), and a positive low level significant relationship with authoritarian parental attitude (r=0.294 p<0.01). Conclusion: A statistically significant relationship was found between psychological violence perceived by women and parental attitudes.
