This study compares women of color and non-Hispanic White women regarding the influence of socioeconomic status, family investment, and psychological abuse on leaving a violent relationship. It was found that most women who left stayed away for less than a month. Women of color and non-Hispanic White women did not differ in their length or rate of leaving, although women of color left more frequently when they did leave. Factors associated with leaving for both groups were threat with a weapon, psychological abuse, being single, and having fewer adults in the household. Women of color with higher socioeconomic status were less likely to leave, which was not the case for non-Hispanic White women. Non-Hispanic White women were more likely to leave if they had lived with their partners less than 5 years and had children at home.
本研究比较了有色人种女性和非西班牙裔白人女性，探讨了社会经济地位、家庭投入和心理虐待对她们离开暴力关系的影响。研究发现，大多数离开的女性只离开不到一个月。有色人种女性和非西班牙裔白人女性在离开的时间长短或离开的速度上没有差异，尽管有色人种女性离开的频率更高。与两组女性离开相关的因素包括用武器威胁、心理虐待、单身和家庭中成年人较少。社会经济地位较高的有色人种女性离开的可能性较小，而非西班牙裔白人女性则并非如此。如果非西班牙裔白人女性与伴侣生活不到 5 年并且家中有孩子，她们更有可能离开。
