This study examined the role of problem drinking in intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and victimization for men and women. We assessed (1) whether the relationship between problem drinking and IPV was spurious and (2) if relationship dissatisfaction and partner drinking mediated the effects of problem drinking on IPV.
Five waves of longitudinal data from a nonclinical sample (N = 725; 400 women), aged 12 through 31 years, were analyzed to determine the effects of problem drinking on IPV after controlling for eight common risk factors. Regression analyses were conducted to determine whether relationship dissatisfaction and partner drinking patterns mediated the effects of problem drinking on IPV after controlling for these same risk factors.
With controls, problem drinking significantly predicted perpetration and victimization for men and women. Partner drinking was not related to perpetration or victimization for men. For women, partner drinking was strongly related to perpetration and victimization. It fully mediated the effects of problem drinking on perpetration, but did not mediate these effects on victimization. Relationship dissatisfaction fully mediated the effects of problem drinking on male and female perpetration and partially mediated the effects on male victimization. Relationship dissatisfaction did not mediate the effects of problem drinking on female victimization.
The relationship between problem drinking and IPV was not spurious for men or women. Heavier drinking by partners put women at greater risk for perpetration and victimization and mediated the effects of their own problem drinking on perpetration. Programs that prevent and treat problem drinking among young men should have a beneficial impact on reducing IPV.
本研究探讨了问题饮酒在男性和女性亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）实施及受害情况中的作用。我们评估了：（1）问题饮酒与IPV之间的关系是否虚假；（2）关系不满和伴侣饮酒是否介导了问题饮酒对IPV的影响。
对一个非临床样本（N = 725；400名女性）的五波纵向数据进行分析，样本年龄在12至31岁之间，以确定在控制八个常见风险因素后问题饮酒对IPV的影响。进行回归分析，以确定在控制相同风险因素后，关系不满和伴侣饮酒模式是否介导了问题饮酒对IPV的影响。
在进行控制后，问题饮酒对男性和女性的暴力实施及受害情况均有显著预测作用。伴侣饮酒与男性的暴力实施或受害情况无关。对于女性而言，伴侣饮酒与暴力实施及受害情况密切相关。它完全介导了问题饮酒对暴力实施的影响，但未介导对受害情况的影响。关系不满完全介导了问题饮酒对男性和女性暴力实施的影响，部分介导了对男性受害情况的影响。关系不满未介导问题饮酒对女性受害情况的影响。
问题饮酒与IPV之间的关系对男性和女性而言并非虚假关系。伴侣饮酒量较大使女性遭受暴力实施及受害的风险更高，并介导了她们自身问题饮酒对暴力实施的影响。预防和治疗年轻男性问题饮酒的项目应有助于减少IPV。
