Using a theoretical synthesis based in the Nested Ecological framework, the study examines an anomaly from our previous investigation (Brownridge and Halli, 2002) in which we were surprised to find that immigrant women from “developed” nations have a lower prevalence of violence than Canadian‐born women. Based on a representative sample of 6,581 women, the results of the present study show that the key variables that account for this anomalous finding are at the microsystem level. More specifically, a tendency for partners of immigrant women from “developed” nations to be highly educated, and for immigrant women from “developed” nations to have longer‐term relationships and be less likely to have young children in the home, appear to account for their lower likelihood of violence. These results are placed in the context of the unique situation of immigrants from “developed” nations and a selection hypothesis is articulated as underpinning the results
