Empirical literature about same-gender domestic violence was relatively nonexistent until the past 20 years, and conducting research with this population about a sensitive topic remains a daunting endeavor. Existing studies reveal similarities between opposite-and same-gender domestic violence in prevalence, types of abuse, and various dynamics, as well as dispel myths and establish a theoretical basis on which to conduct future research. Differences are evident in areas such as help-seeking behaviors and correlates, thus demanding unique assessment and intervention strategies. This article presents further explanation of the latest research, recommendations for future studies, and effective as well as problematic methodological practices about same-gender domestic violence.
直到过去20年，关于同性家庭暴力的实证文献还相对匮乏，针对这一群体研究这样一个敏感话题仍是一项艰巨的任务。现有研究揭示了异性和同性家庭暴力在发生率、虐待类型、各种动态方面的相似之处，同时也消除了误解，并为未来的研究奠定了理论基础。在寻求帮助的行为及相关因素等方面差异明显，因此需要独特的评估和干预策略。本文进一步阐释了关于同性家庭暴力的最新研究，提出了对未来研究的建议，以及有效和存在问题的方法论实践。
