Psychological intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration is not limited to heterosexual relationships and can affect all genders and sexual orientations, including lesbians and bisexual women (LB) both in Denmark and Turkey. Internalized heterosexism might be one of the factors increasing the risk of LB's use of psychological IPV perpetration. However, it is still unclear how being LB in Turkey and Denmark interact in the internalized heterosexism and psychological IPV perpetration relationship. The current study, therefore, presents an investigation of (a) the prevalence of sexual orientation (LB) and country (Denmark and Turkey) differences in perpetrating psychological IPV and (b) the moderating roles of sexual orientation and country on the association between internalized heterosexism and psychological IPV perpetration. A sample of 449 LB from Denmark and Turkey completed the Lesbian Internalized Homophobia Scale and the Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Abuse Scale. The results of chi-square analyses indicated that LB from Turkey and bisexual women from both countries reported significantly higher psychological IPV perpetration. The results of moderation analyses revealed that country had direct effects on the use of psychological IPV perpetration. No moderation effects were found for both sexual orientation and country in three of the four types of psychological IPV perpetration. These findings suggest that LB are not an exception to the perpetration of IPV. Furthermore, the findings were discussed from the perspectives of intersectionality and minority stress.
心理亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的实施不仅限于异性恋关系，它可以影响所有性别和性取向，包括丹麦和土耳其的女同性恋者和双性恋女性（LB）。内化的异性恋主义可能是增加 LB 使用心理 IPV 实施的风险的因素之一。然而，在土耳其和丹麦的 LB 之间，内化的异性恋主义和心理 IPV 实施之间的关系如何相互作用仍不清楚。因此，本研究旨在调查：（a）在实施心理 IPV 方面，性取向（LB）和国家（丹麦和土耳其）差异的流行程度；（b）性取向和国家对内化的异性恋主义与心理 IPV 实施之间关联的调节作用。来自丹麦和土耳其的 449 名 LB 完成了女同性恋内部同性恋恐惧症量表和多维情感虐待量表。卡方分析的结果表明，来自土耳其的 LB 和来自两国的双性恋女性报告了更高的心理 IPV 实施。调节分析的结果表明，国家对心理 IPV 实施有直接影响。在心理 IPV 实施的四种类型中的三种类型中，没有发现性取向和国家的调节效应。这些发现表明，LB 并不是 IPV 实施的例外。此外，从交叉性和少数群体压力的角度讨论了这些发现。
