Although research into intimate partner abuse has expanded throughout the past several decades and increased our understanding
of this multi-faceted phenomenon, the vast majority of empirical work is still focused almost exclusively on physical violence—against
women in particular. Although a crucial issue in our society, physical violence against women is only one facet in an array
of possible abusive behaviors toward an intimate partner. Researchers have long acknowledged the existence of multiple forms
of non-physical abuse. These types of abuse have received little research attention, however, and are commonly lumped together
simply as “non-physical” or “emotional” abuse. There is no reason to believe, however, that all forms of non-physical abuse
are the same, whether in intensity, frequency, or co-existence with physical violence. The current study attempts to disentangle
the multiple types of nonviolent abuse to examine prevalence, differences by sex, and its relationships to physical abuse.
Using Tjaden and Thoennes’ (1998) survey data, this study examines the prevalence of different types of non-physical abuse, both in the general population
and among those experiencing physical violence Findings indicate that non-physical partner abuse is more common than physical
and that non-physical abuse does not show striking sex differences, as is commonly believed. There is strong evidence that
some types of non-physical abuse serve as clear risk factors for physical abuse and may increase risk of more frequent violence
among those already being abused. These relationships do not, however, differ by sex. Implications for future research are
discussed.

This study addresses whether the relationship between illicit drug use/abuse measures and intimate partner violence (IPV)
varies across socioeconomic status, racial status, and environmental indictors of a drug supportive culture. Data from 19,131
respondents who were living with intimate partners and had not been treated for a substance abuse problem in the last year
and participated in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse were analyzed. Marijuana use/abuse was a stronger predictor
of IPV and psychological abuse for minorities, but was not a significant predictor of Caucasians’ IPV. Marijuana use/abuse
also was a stronger predictor of IPV for those having a low socioeconomic status, but indicators of a drug supportive culture
did not moderate the relationship. Minorities’ marijuana use/abuse increased their yelling and insulting behavior toward each
other, and this psychological abuse mediated the effect of marijuana use/abuse on IPV. By contrast, stimulant use, sedative
use, and alcohol abuse or dependence had independent direct effects on IPV after controlling for psychological abuse. Implications
for research and policy are discussed. 相似文献

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

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

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 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

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

Gay men and lesbians may experience domestic violence at rates as high as, or higher than heterosexuals, yet there is a noticeable absence of empirical research investigating this phenomenon. This study investigated same-sex partner violence from a disempowerment perspective to determine the influence of (a) individual characteristics, (b) family of origin factors, and (c) intimate relationship factors. A sample of 77 individuals in distressed relationships (40 gay men and 37 lesbians) were administered a series of quantitative measures in our project office. Data primarily were analyzed using two-way ANOVAs (gender×perpetrator of violence). The greatest number of differences between perpetrators and nonperpetrators was found in individual characteristics. Implications for practitioners working with gay men and lesbians experiencing partner violence are discussed. 相似文献

There has been relatively little research published to guide the field in identifying and addressing barriers to seeking help
for older women who experience domestic violence (DV). The current article focuses on findings related to external behaviors to help-seeking in the Domestic Violence Against Older Women (DVAOW) study. Data were collected in 21 focus groups with 134
women, 45 to 85 years of age. External barriers, described by DVAOW respondents as contributing to the reluctance of some older women to seek help for domestic abuse, include
response of family, response of clergy, response of the justice system, and responsiveness of community resources. These findings are discussed with implications for community outreach and future research.

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

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 study considers the characteristics associated with mothers and fathers who maltreat their child and each other in comparison
to parents who only maltreat their child. One hundred and sixty-two parents who had allegations of child maltreatment made
against them were considered. The sample consisted of 43 fathers (Paternal Family—PF) and 23 mothers (Maternal Family—MF)
who perpetrated both partner and child maltreatment, together with 23 fathers (Paternal Child—PC) and 26 mothers (Maternal Child—MC) who perpetrated child maltreatment only. In addition, 2 fathers (Paternal Victim—PV) and 23 mothers (Maternal Victim—MV) were victims of intimate partner maltreatment and perpetrators of child maltreatment and 7 fathers (Paternal Non-abusive Carer—PNC) and 15 mothers (Maternal Non-abusive Carer—MNC) did not maltreat the child but lived with an individual who did. Within their family unit, 40.7% of parents perpetrated both intimate partner and child maltreatment. However, fathers were
significantly more likely to maltreat both their partner and child than mothers and mothers were significantly more likely
to be victims of intimate partner violence than fathers. PF fathers conducted the highest amount of physical and/or sexual
child maltreatment while MC and MV mothers perpetrated the highest amount of child neglect. Few significant differences between
mothers were found. PF fathers had significantly more factors associated with development of a criminogenic lifestyle than
PC fathers. Marked sex differences were demonstrated with PF fathers demonstrating significantly more antisocial characteristics,
less mental health problems and fewer feelings of isolation than MF mothers. MC mothers had significantly more childhood abuse,
mental health problems, parenting risk factors and were significantly more likely to be biologically related to the child
than PC fathers. This study suggests that violent families should be assessed and treated in a holistic manner, considering
the effects of partner violence upon all family members, rather than exclusively intervening with the violent man.

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.

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.

Drawing on Connell’s (Gender and power: Society, the person and sexual politics. California: Stanford University Press, 1987; Masculinities. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1995) model of gender relations, this paper examines patterns of intimate partner violence among women who have recently left
an abusive partner. In so doing, we attempt to better understand the social structural factors that shape the relations of
power and control in intimate violent heterosexual unions. The data come from the first wave of a longitudinal prospective
survey of 309 women who had left an abusive partner in the previous 3 years. Our data suggest that structured relations of
inequality, namely relations of production, power and cathexis, shape women’s risk of abuse and harassment after leaving,
and do so in ways that shape relations of coercive control. These results have implications for understanding the social context
within which male violence against women occurs, and how this context constrains and/or enables women’s strategies for leaving
and safety.

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

This study examined the mediating roles of several family variables in the relation between IPV witnessing and children’s
emotional and behavioral problems among 129 low-income, African American children ages 8 to 12. According to the mediational
model tested, experiencing or witnessing IPV negatively impacted the following family variables: maternal psychopathology,
family cohesion, and relatedness quality, which were subsequently associated with diminished child adjustment. These findings
were stronger when child reports were considered and when the outcome variable was internalizing problems. Findings from this
study support the value of targeting these variables in the development of culturally appropriate child witness interventions
for low-income African American families. Recommendations for future interventions based on study conclusions are offered. 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

This paper examines longitudinal associations between drinking, alcohol problems and male-to-female (MFPV) and female-to-male
partner violence (FMPV) in a national sample of White and Hispanic couples in the United States. The study uses general population
household survey longitudinal data collected in 1995 and in 2000. Subjects (18 years or older) constitute a random sample
of married and cohabiting couples in the 48 contiguous United States. In 1995, a total of 1,635 couples completed the interview
for a response rate of 85%. In 2000, face-to-face interviews were completed with 1,392 couples in their homes. The present
analyses include 406 White and 387 Hispanic couples, who remained intact at the follow-up. Alcohol volume, alcohol problems,
MFPV and FMPV in 1995 significantly predicted these same behaviors 5 years later. For White couples, female alcohol problems
predicted FMPV in 1995. For Hispanics, female alcohol problems predicted FMPV only in 2000. The relationships between the
three alcohol variables and MFPV and FMPV are not static, changing across ethnic groups over time. Findings suggest that once
a behavior is present, it tends to be a strong predictor of that same behavior in the future. 相似文献

Previous research has consistently shown that there is a strong association between psychological and physical aggression
in intimate relationships. Theories as to why this association exists include that they have a single underlying etiology
with differing thresholds, or they have separate etiologies and there is a two-step process by which psychological aggression
moves to physical. The current study suggests that these two theories are not necessarily competing theories. The genetic
and environmental covariance between psychological and physical intimate partner aggression were examined in 134 monozygotic
(MZ) and 41 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs. Results showed that psychological and physical aggression have largely the same genetic
etiology, and any differences between the two are a function of differing nonshared environmental influences. 相似文献
