The objective of this study is to examine risk factors of physical aggression against a partner in a large representative Active Duty Air Force sample. A stratified sample of 128,950 United States Active Duty members were invited to participate in an Air Force-wide anonymous online survey across 82 bases. The final sample (N = 52,780) was weighted to be representative of the United States Air Force. Backward stepwise regression analyses were conducted to identify unique predictors of partner physical aggression perpetration within and across different ecological levels (individual, family, organization, and community levels). Relationship satisfaction, alcohol problems, financial stress, and number of years in the military were identified as unique predictors of men's and women's perpetration of violence against their partner across ecological levels. Parental status, support from neighbors, personal coping, and support from formal agencies also uniquely predicted men's but not women's perpetration of violence across ecological levels. This study identified specific risk factors of partner violence that may be targeted by prevention and intervention efforts aimed at different levels of impact (e.g., family interventions, community-wide programs).
本研究旨在探讨大规模现役空军代表性样本中针对伴侣的身体侵犯的风险因素。邀请了 128950 名美国现役成员参加了在 82 个基地进行的一项空军范围内的匿名在线调查。最终样本(N=52780)经过加权处理,以代表美国空军。采用逐步向后回归分析,在不同的生态层次(个体、家庭、组织和社区层次)内和跨层次识别伴侣身体侵犯行为的独特预测因素。关系满意度、酒精问题、经济压力和服役年限被确定为男性和女性在各个生态层次上对伴侣实施暴力行为的独特预测因素。父母身份、邻居支持、个人应对方式和正式机构的支持也独特地预测了男性而不是女性在各个生态层次上实施暴力行为。这项研究确定了伴侣暴力的具体风险因素,这些因素可能成为针对不同影响层次(例如,家庭干预、社区范围的项目)的预防和干预措施的目标。
