Research argues that coercive control (CC) is a special case of intimate partner violence (IPV). The present study hypothesized that instead CC is the motivator for other types of IPV, with control of the victim as the goal. When CC fails, physical types of IPV are used. This hypothesized relationship was tested using a large matched sample of 762 divorcing couples participating in divorce mediation. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data with CC predicting two latent common factors of the overall level of victimization separately for men and women. Significant causal relationships between CC and the latent construct of victimization for both members of the couples were found. In addition, CC, psychological abuse, sexual assault/intimidation/coercion, threats of and severe physical violence were disproportionately reported as perpetrated by men against women whereas reports of physical abuse (e.g., pushing, shoving, scratching) were not.
研究认为，强制性控制（CC）是亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的一种特殊情况。本研究假设，CC 是其他类型的 IPV 的动机，其目的是控制受害者。当 CC 失败时，就会使用身体暴力类型的 IPV。这项假设关系通过对 762 对参与离婚调解的离婚夫妇的大匹配样本进行测试。结构方程模型用于分析数据，其中 CC 分别预测男性和女性受害者整体受害水平的两个潜在共同因素。发现 CC 与夫妇双方的潜在受害结构之间存在显著的因果关系。此外，CC、心理虐待、性侵犯/恐吓/胁迫、威胁和严重的身体暴力被不成比例地报告为男性对女性实施的行为，而身体虐待（如推、搡、抓）的报告则不是。
