  abstract = {{I}ntimate partner violence ({IPV}) is a pressing international public health and human rights concern. {R}ecent scholarship concerning causes of {IPV} has focused on the potentially critical influence of social learning and influence in interpersonal interaction through social norms. {U}sing sociocentric network data from all individuals aged 16 years and above in a rural {S}enegalese village surveyed as part of the {N}iakhar {S}ocial {N}etworks and {H}ealth {P}roject (n =1,274), we estimate a series of nested linear probability models to test the association between characteristics of respondents' social networks and residential compounds (including educational attainment, health ideation, socioeconomic status, and religion) and whether respondents are classified as finding {IPV} acceptable, controlling for individual characteristics. {W}e also test for direct social learning effects, estimating the association between {IPV} acceptability among network members and co-residents and respondents' own, net of these factors. {W}e find individual, social network, and residential compound factors are all associated with {IPV} acceptability. {O}n the individual level, these include gender, traditional health ideation, and household agricultural investment. {R}esidential compound-level associations are largely explained in the presence of the individual and network characteristics, except for that concerning educational attainment. {W}e find that network alters' {IPV} acceptability is strongly positively associated with respondents'own, net of individual and compound-level characteristics. {A} 10% point higher probability of {IPV} acceptability in respondents' networks is estimated in to be associated with a 4.5% point higher likelihood of respondents being classified as finding {IPV} acceptable. {T}his research provides compelling evidence that social interaction through networks exerts an important, potentially normative, influence on whether individuals in this population perceive {IPV} as acceptable or not. {I}t also suggests that interventions targeting individuals most likely to perceive {IPV} as acceptable may have a multiplier effect, influencing the normative context of others they interact with through their social networks.},
