Intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with psychological distress; however, differences in the impact of unidirectional IPV, typically male-dominated, and bidirectional IPV have not been examined. To address this gap in the literature, we compared the effects of various IPV patterns on women's reports of dissociation, post-traumatic stress disorder, and stress in 6 interviews over eight years. We also examined whether differences by IPV pattern existed in women's mental health upon leaving a violent relationship. The 489 low-income women completing all interviews were African American (40%), Euro-American (30%), and Mexican American (30%), over half of whom (58%) were no longer with Wave 1 partners by Wave 6. In general, worse mental health was associated with relationship termination and bidirectional violence.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）与心理困扰有关；然而，单向IPV（通常以男性为主导）和双向IPV的影响差异尚未得到研究。为了填补文献中的这一空白，我们在八年的6次访谈中比较了各种IPV模式对女性解离、创伤后应激障碍和压力报告的影响。我们还研究了在脱离暴力关系时，IPV模式的差异是否存在于女性的心理健康状况中。完成所有访谈的489名低收入女性中，非裔美国人占40%，欧裔美国人占30%，墨西哥裔美国人占30%，到第6波时，超过一半（58%）的女性不再与第1波时的伴侣在一起。总体而言，较差的心理健康状况与关系终止和双向暴力有关。
