It has been proposed that two distinct forms of intimate partner violence exist: intimate terrorism and situational couple violence. This article describes the distribution of factors that characterize intimate terrorism and situational couple violence, including controlling behaviors, violence escalation, and injury, among a representative sample of 331 physically assaulted women living in 11 North American cities. In addition, respondent, partner, and relationship characteristics associated with each form of violence are identified. Most women who experienced physical assault also experienced controlling behavior by their male partner. In multivariate analyses, respondent's young age, violence escalation in the relationship, partner's access to guns, previous arrests for domestic violence offenses, poor mental health, and previous suicide attempts or threats were associated with intimate terrorism, defined as experiencing one or more controlling behaviors. These results suggest that situational couple violence is rare and that moderate and high levels of controlling behaviors are associated primarily with partner factors.
亲密恐怖主义和情境性伴侣暴力。本文描述了在居住于北美11个城市的331名遭受身体攻击的女性代表性样本中,表征亲密恐怖主义和情境性伴侣暴力的因素分布情况,包括控制行为、暴力升级和伤害。此外,还确定了与每种暴力形式相关的受访者、伴侣及关系特征。大多数遭受身体攻击的女性也经历过男性伴侣的控制行为。在多变量分析中,受访者年龄较小、关系中的暴力升级、伴侣可获取枪支、曾因家庭暴力犯罪被捕、心理健康状况不佳以及之前有自杀企图或威胁与亲密恐怖主义相关,亲密恐怖主义被定义为经历一种或多种控制行为。这些结果表明情境性伴侣暴力很少见,且中度和高度控制行为主要与伴侣因素相关。
