Cover Story: This study investigated the occurrence and background factors of domestic abuse among high-income women in Japan. We gathered data from 359 high-income women in Japan through an online questionnaire, and binary logistic regression analysis was employed to analyze contributing factors. Findings revealed that approximately one-fifth of high-income women experienced physical, economic and sexual abuse, while about two-fifths encountered psychological violence. It was found that adverse childhood experiences, traditional gender norms deeply rooted in society and the level of the spouse's education had a significant impact on the victimization experiences of the respondents. This study addresses a significant gap in understanding the complex relationship between women's economic power and domestic abuse in the unique cultural context of Japan. View this paper
