In this study, trinidadian (n = 194) and U. S. (n = 290) citizens were compared on their attitudes toward domestic violence (DV) as well as their willingness to intervene in five distinct DV contexts (when the DV involved an immediate family member, extended family member, a friend, neighbour and a coworker). The results indicated that tirnidadians were modestly, albeit statistically significantly, more tolerant to DV compared to U. S. citizens - a finding that was accounted for primarily bu age differences between the two national groups. Also, trinidadians reported being significantly less willing to intervene in DV involving a friend, neighbour, and coworker than U. S. citizens, even after controlling for differences in socio demographic variables. Regarding gender, women expressed significantly less tolerance for DV than men across nationality. Diverse interpretations of these findings are discussed in the context of culture.
