Numerous academic studies point to gender symmetry in the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV). Many of these studies report findings from surveys with small and/or unrepresentative samples that have insufficient questions to differentiate adequately between different types of abuse. Data from a large, nationally representative survey suggest that, while the prevalence of situational violence is fairly symmetrical, coercive controlling abuse is highly gendered, with women overwhelmingly the victims. The authors conclude that more comprehensive measures are required in national surveys that consider a wider range of controlling behaviors as well as the meaning and impact of abuse.
众多学术研究表明，亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的患病率存在性别对称性。其中许多研究报告的结果来自样本较小和/或缺乏代表性的调查，这些调查的问题不足以充分区分不同类型的虐待行为。一项具有全国代表性的大型调查数据显示，虽然情境暴力的患病率相当对称，但强制性控制型虐待存在高度性别差异，女性是主要受害者。作者得出结论，国家调查需要采取更全面的措施，考虑更广泛的控制行为以及虐待的含义和影响。
