This article reports a study of women victimized by intimate partner violence (IPV). We describe three interactional aspects
of IPV: (1) responses and conduct before, during, and after IPV episodes, (2) impact of alcohol and drug intoxication, and
(3) Predictors of risk for IPV victimization in more than one partnership. A representative sample of 157 help-seeking women,
recruited from family counseling offices, the police and shelters, were interviewed about physical, psychological and sexual
IPV. The nature and characteristics of the IPV interactions were complex and heterogeneous. There were significant interactional
differences between the IPV categories concerning the women’s responses and conduct before, during and after the IPV. The
impact of alcohol and drug intoxication was relatively small on the occurrence of IPV. About 75% reported that neither the
perpetrator nor the female victim had consumed alcohol or drugs before the index IPV exposure. Only 23% of the women had experienced
IPV by previous partners. Women who had been subjected to sexual abuse in their family of origin were at almost 25 times increased
risk of IPV victimization in more than one partnership. Childhood exposure to physical IPV between parents increased the risk
of IPV victimization in more than one partnership significantly more than if the woman had been subject to childhood physical
victimization. 相似文献

In the current research, we draw on Canadian national data to examine the police reporting decisions of married and cohabiting
intimate partner violence victims. Our analyses examine how police notification decisions are influenced by the demographic
characteristics of victims and incident-specific factors. We find that the victims who contact the police more often live
in a cohabiting relationship and with children. In contrast to predictions, we find that visible minority women more often
call the police. Income, education, and employment status do not appear to shape the police reporting decisions of women.
Finally, women who call the police are also likely to have experienced severe forms of violence including threats with weapons,
injury, and the destruction of their property. 相似文献

This study explores the personality disorder symptoms of women victims of intimate male partner violence (IPV), after controlling
for the contribution of experiences of childhood abuse. Victims of both physical and psychological violence (n = 73) or psychological violence alone (n = 53) were compared with non-abused control women (n = 52). Information about sociodemographic characteristics, childhood abuse, and personality characteristics (MCMI-II) was
obtained through face-to-face structured interviews. Women victims of IPV had higher scores than controls in schizoid, avoidant,
self-defeating personality scales, as well as in the three pathological personality scales (schizotypal, borderline and paranoid).
Both physical and psychological IPV were strongly associated with personality disorder symptomatology, regardless of the effects
of childhood abuse. These findings underscore the need to screen for personality disorder symptoms in women victims of IPV
when dealing with therapeutic interventions. 相似文献

Research investigating women’s risk assessments for intimate partner violence (IPV) shows that women can predict future violence
with relative accuracy. Limited research has investigated factors that are associated with perceived risk and the potential
behavioral consequences of victim risk perception. Results from a survey of women in a domestic violence shelter (N = 56) indicated that women perceive lower risk of future violence if the abusive relationship were to end and higher risk
of violence if it were to continue. Certain abuse experiences were related to elevated perceptions of personal risk for future
violence. Further, perceived personal risk predicted the women’s intention to terminate their relationship upon leaving shelter.
Results are discussed as they may inform interventions preventing IPV.

This study examines the time course of repeat victimization by assessing whether the opportunity for victim/offender contact
influences the time lapse between successive incidents of intimate partner violence. Several measures of opportunity for victim/offender
contact are used, including cohabitation, co-parenting, restraining order status, and victim unemployment. The study finds
that some victims (i.e., those who live with the offender) are at risk of repeat victimization in a shorter period of time
than other victims. However, the study yields conflicting findings about the relationship between other opportunity variables
(i.e., co-parenting and victim unemployment) and the time lapse between successive incidents of intimate partner violence.
Policy implications are discussed and suggestions are offered for future research on repeat intimate partner violence. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to identify longitudinal predictors of any (versus no) episodes of recurrent intimate partner
violence (IPV) and their severity among low-income inner-city women. A secondary analysis was conducted on data from an inception
cohort of 321 previously abused women from the Chicago Women’s Health Risk Study. In a multivariable logistic regression model,
pregnancy, frequency of IPV in the year prior to the baseline interview, and the partner’s use of power and control tactics
increased the odds of recurrent IPV during the follow-up period and leaving an abusive partner reduced the odds. In a multivariate
proportional odds logistic regression model, partner violence outside the home was associated with higher severity of recurrent
IPV, but leaving an abusive partner was not. The results suggest that, for low-income women, leaving an abusive partner may
reduce the risk of recurrent victimization without increasing severity of the recurrent attacks that do occur. 相似文献

A number of theorists posit that most women who are arrested for using violence against their intimate partners are in-fact
victims of IPV themselves and should be treated as such. However, in this population of women IPV arrestees empirical investigation
has yet to explore how physical and emotional victimization experiences are associated with arrest related factors, propensity
to be abusive or attitude toward using relationship violence. The current study explores these factors finding no difference
in arrest factors between women who (a) deny abuse, (b) report rare/occasional abuse and (c) report frequent/very frequent
abuse. However, mixed results were found with regard to participants’ responses on scales measuring propensity to be abusive
and attitudes about using violence in marriage. Theoretical and practical related issues are addressed. 相似文献

This study assessed the prevalence and correlates of intimate partner violence (IPV) among a sample of unionized construction
industry workers, and tested the reliability of new measures of IPV normative beliefs. Study participants (n=100) voluntarily completed confidential and anonymous self-administered questionnaires that measured occupational factors,
hazardous drinking, and normative beliefs. Measurement of past-year IPV was based on the Conflict Tactics Scale, Form R. Measures
of IPV normative beliefs showed good reliability (Cronbach’s α 0.94–0.95). Past-year IPV prevalence was 26%. Logistic regression models were developed to assess the contribution of each
factor to risk of past-year IPV perpetration. Perceived workplace racial/ethnic discrimination, job strain, interpersonal
workplace conflict, normative beliefs, and hazardous drinking were positively associated with elevated IPV risk.Construction
industry workers may have higher rates of IPV compared to general population samples that represent various occupations and
social classes. Occupational factors appear to be significant correlates of IPV among these workers. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to determine the contribution of male unemployment and each partner’s problem drinking to risk
for male-to-female partner violence (MFPV) and female-to-male partner violence (FMPV) among a sample of construction industry
workers and their spouses/partners. Participants in the sample (n = 848 couples) completed cross-sectional health behavior surveys. Multivariate logistic regression models of MFPV and FMPV,
with adjustment for demographic and psychosocial variables, were developed. Approximately 20% of couples reported MFPV, and
24% reported FMPV. Results indicated that couples in which the male was a problem drinker, and in which the male worker reported
being currently unemployed, were at risk for MFPV. Number of months unemployed by the male worker was significantly associated
with FMPV, but problem drinking was not associated with this outcome. Male and female impulsivity were significantly associated
with risk for MFPV and FMPV, and the male’s report of adverse childhood events was associated with increased likelihood of
MFPV. There was no evidence for the effects of unemployment being moderated (exacerbated) by problem drinking. Workplace-based
prevention efforts may be a feasible and important strategy to reduce problem drinking and partner violence among high-risk
occupational groups. 相似文献

While reasons for returning to abusive partners have received considerable attention in research on intimate partner violence,
few studies have examined the reasons why victims fail to follow through with the protection order process, regardless of
whether or not they return to their abusive partners. Fifty-five women who were in the process of withdrawing a protection
order against a male intimate partner were surveyed in the present analysis. Recognizing that reasons given for withdrawing
a protection order often follow common themes, individual responses were organized into several “domains,” or groupings of
such reasons. The most commonly cited domain involved a “concrete change” on behalf of the victim or defendant, which made
the protection order less necessary in the victim’s view. This was closely followed by the domain addressing emotional attachment
to the abuser. Implications for future research and policy are discussed. 相似文献

This study examined the potential mediating effects of social support and coping strategies on the relationship between intimate
partner violence (IPV) and psychological outcomes. A sample of 100 Caucasian women and 61 Asian women were recruited from
domestic violence agencies. Structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed model. Analysis of the combined group
revealed that there was an indirect effect of the level of violence on psychological outcomes via the mediating variables
of perceived social support and passive coping strategies. Ethnic group comparisons, however, indicated differences between
Caucasian and Asian women. In the Caucasian group, the level of violence had an indirect effect on psychological outcomes
via the mediating variables of perceived social support and passive coping strategies. In contrast, in the Asian group, the
direct effect of the level of violence on psychological outcomes was strong and significant, and the mediating roles of these
variables were not found. Research implications for practice are delineated.

Abstract Intimate partner violence poses a major public health and social problem with serious criminal justice, health and social-related consequences. However, little is known about the etiology of intimate partner violence among young people, especially minority youth. Using the Hispanic Stress Inventory, we examine intimate partner violence among Hispanics, particularly Mexican American adolescent females. Understanding and identifying issues related to intimate partner violence is crucial for developing and implementing effective policies and programs encompassing both public health and criminal justice approaches specific to this rapidly growing population of young people. 相似文献

Research on predictors of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Sub-Saharan Africa is contradictory, necessitating further investigation.
This study sought the prevalence and predictors of IPV among women in Lagos, Nigeria. Questionnaire data from 934 women visiting
an obstetrics and gynecology clinic in Lagos were analyzed using multivariable methods. The 1 year prevalence of IPV was 29%,
with significant proportions reporting psychological (23%), physical (9%) and sexual (8%) abuse. In-access to information,
women’s autonomy and contribution to household expenses independently predicted IPV. The findings provide new incites for
IPV prevention in Lagos with implications for further research. 相似文献

This paper describes the characteristics (sociodemographic, drinking and selected psychological attributes) of victims, perpetrators
and those who engage in mutual intimate partner violence (IPV) among couples in the U.S. Subjects constitute a multistage
area probability sample representative of married and cohabiting couples from the 48 contiguous United States. Results indicate
that age is the only variable that appears to have a consistent effect for men and women and across violence-related statuses:
Older individuals are less likely to be victims, perpetrators and less likely to be involved in mutually violent relationships.
Other variables such as ethnicity, marital status, drinking, impulsivity, depression and powerlessness are either gender or
status-specific in their ability to predict victimization, perpetration or victimization/perpetration. Overall, those involved
in violent relationships do not appear to be very different from those not involved in violent relationships. The most likely
reason for lack of this difference is the nature of IPV in general population samples, which is in most cases moderate.

Women in substance use treatment report rates of childhood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence that far exceed those
reported by women in the general population. Previous research with nonrandom samples of women in substance use treatment
suggests that there is a statistically significant relationship between childhood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence;
however, little is known about the mechanisms of risk between these two public health concerns among this population of women.
To address this gap in knowledge and to inform intervention strategies, this study examined direct and mediated relationships
between childhood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence risk among a random sample of 416 women in methadone treatment.
In addition to high rates of childhood sexual abuse (57.9%), intimate partner violence (lifetime prevalence, 89.7%; 6-month
prevalence, 78.4%), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD, 28.6%), and global psychological distress (19.5%), findings suggest
that the relationship between childhood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence is mediated by mental health problems and
that women experiencing PTSD or global psychological distress are 2.7 and 2.4 times more likely to experience intimate partner
violence than women without such experiences, respectively. Although not a mediator in this relationship, financial independence
reduced women's risk of partner violence by two-thirds. The paper includes discussion of social learning and stress and coping theories to explicate the findings and to inform intervention
strategies.

While separate evidence exists that married military women have high rates of both intimate partner violence victimization
and aggression, little is known about the context of this violence, including the extent to which the violence committed toward
and by military women is physical, psychological or sexual, whether the violence is unilateral or bi-directional, and the
extent of injury sustained or inflicted. In order to gain a more multi-dimensional understanding of the violence in the lives
of military women, this study involved 248 enlisted females who completed a self-report survey about themselves and their
spouses’ behavior. Results indicate that the majority of violence reported was bi-directional and symmetrical in terms of
type and level of severity. However, enlisted females were more than three times as likely to be victims of unilateral severe
violence as their male civilian spouses. Demographic factors associated with these patterns of violence were also identified.

This paper uses longitudinal and nationally representative survey data to investigate the direct relationship between three
forms of child maltreatment (neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse), and future intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration
in the USA. We further examine the indirect effect that child maltreatment has on future IPV perpetration through the presence
of youth violence perpetration, and the roles of socioeconomic factors on committing youth violence and IPV. Analyses indicate
that gender differences exist for the developmental relationship between child maltreatment and young adult IPV perpetration,
and the effects of socioeconomic factors on youth violence and IPV perpetration. For males, the direct effects of being neglected/physically
abused as a child on IPV perpetration are not significant. However, the indirect effects of being neglected/physically abused
on IPV perpetration through the presence of youth violence perpetration are significant. For females, the direct effects of
being neglected/physically abused on IPV perpetration are significant. The indirect effect of being neglected on IPV perpetration
is significant, while the indirect effect of childhood physical abuse is not significant. Childhood sexual abuse is not significantly
directly associated with IPV perpetration for females; however, for males, it is the strongest (i.e., largest effect size)
direct predictor of IPV perpetration. The indirect effects of childhood sexual abuse on IPV perpetration are not significant
for both females and males.

This study explored the relationship between Intimate Partner Violence and HIV Risk-Propensity in African-American women.
An anonymous questionnaire was completed by a community based sample of 200 African American women with a varied history of
intimate partner violence, to determine whether being in a violent relationship impacts HIV risk. Various statistical techniques,
including structural equation modeling (SEM), bivariate correlation analyses and ANOVA were used to examine the data. A strong
positive correlation was found to exist between sexual coercion and Intimate Partner Violence. In the effort to fortify prevention
strategies, and reduce the rates of HIV infection in African-American women, additional factors that impact disease transmission
were discussed. Implications for social work/mental health practice and suggestions for future research were made. 相似文献

A total of 31 Chinese community members (8 males and 23 females) were recruited from three social service agencies in San
Francisco (Donaldina Cameron House, Richmond Area Multi-Services, and St. Mary’s Chinese Center) to participate in a study
examining the relationship between problem gambling and intimate partner violence (IPV). A survey approach was taken which
assessed the participants’ demographic characteristics including age, gender, country of birth, and employment, as well as
factors relating to their intimate partners, including partner’s alcohol abuse and problem gambling. Younger participants
and those whose partners were problem gamblers were more likely to experience IPV. However, partner’s problem gambling was
a significant predictor only at the ten-point cutoff on the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) (Lesieur and Blume, American Journal of Psychiatry, 1987) and not at the five-point cutoff. Chinese participants whose partners were problem gamblers (SOGS ≥ 10) were 27.5 times
more likely to experience IPV. Findings are discussed and social work practice, policy, and research implications are highlighted.
