This study analyzes data from a national, general population sample of respondents (National Violence Against Women Survey) to estimate the prevalence of the different forms of intimate partner violence (IPV) that women experience in the United States. The study's purpose, to differentiate types of IPV, follows the Johnson and Ferraro tradition that distinguishes occasional and random acts of abuse from chronic and controlling forms of violence. When examining the specific types of IPV that the survey respondents disclosed, the author finds that the distribution closely resembles Gordon's epidemiological findings. This study analyzed the variance in the number of types of IPV as a function of the childhood abuse the women experienced and their partner's controlling and threatening behaviors. It concludes with a discussion of the multiple responses to IPV that are necessary in contemporary U.S. society.
本研究分析了来自全国普通人群样本（全国妇女遭受暴力调查）的数据，以估计美国女性所经历的不同形式亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的发生率。该研究旨在区分IPV的类型，遵循了约翰逊和费拉罗的传统，即将偶尔的随机虐待行为与长期的控制型暴力形式区分开来。在研究调查对象所披露的IPV具体类型时，作者发现其分布与戈登的流行病学研究结果极为相似。本研究分析了IPV类型数量的差异，该差异是女性童年所遭受虐待以及其伴侣控制和威胁行为的函数。研究最后讨论了当代美国社会应对IPV所需的多种应对措施。
