Research on the implications of varying measurement strategies for estimating levels and correlates of intimate partner violence (IPV) has been limited. This study explored measurement and correlates of IPV using a community sample of 168 couples who were expecting their first child. In line with prior research, couple agreement regarding the presence of violence was low, and maximum reported estimates revealed substantial IPV perpetrated by both expectant mothers and fathers. Different types of IPV scores predicted unique variance in mental health problems and couple relationship distress among both the whole sample and the subsamples who perpetrated any violence. Discussion focuses on the methodological and substantive implications of these findings for the study of IPV during the transition to parenthood.
关于不同测量策略对亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)水平及相关因素估计的影响的研究一直很有限。本研究使用了一个由168对即将迎来第一个孩子的夫妇组成的社区样本,探讨了IPV的测量方法及其相关因素。与先前的研究一致,夫妇双方对暴力行为存在与否的认同度较低,报告的最高估计显示,准父母双方都存在大量的IPV行为。不同类型的IPV得分预测了整个样本以及实施过任何暴力行为的子样本中心理健康问题和夫妻关系困扰的独特差异。讨论集中于这些发现对研究为人父母过渡阶段的IPV在方法和实质内容上的影响。
