In the second sample, seen more recently during 1989-90, by which time some spouses and their attorneys had become very familiar with the feminist sociopolitical position with respect to domestic violence and the battered women's syndrome—through television, the press and women's shelters—seven women and one man (13%) were judged to have exaggerated the issue of violence as a ploy in the custody dispute.
Dans le deuxième échantillon, interrogé plus récemment, en 1989-1990, quand certains des conjoints et leurs avocats connaissaient beaucoup mieux la position socio-politique féministe sur la violence familiale et le syndrome de la femme battue—grâce à la télévision, aux médias et aux refuges pour femmes battues—, sept femmes et un homme (13 p. 100) ont été considérés comme ayant exagéré la question de la violence dans le but d'obtenir la garde.
