Female same-gender couples experience higher rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) as compared to other couples, yet research on IPV in this population is limited and almost exclusively focused on individual-level correlates. Given the interdependent nature of IPV, the current study examined actor and partner associations of recent IPV use in female same-gender couples. Data were collected from 103 adult female same-gender couples ( = 206) and analyzed using actor-partner interdependence models. The odds of engaging in physical assault in the last year were positively associated with partner (but not actor) discrimination, alcohol use, and anxiety symptoms and negatively associated with both actor and partner relationship adjustment, emotional intimacy, and partner (but not actor) dedication and social support. The odds of engaging in high levels of psychological aggression in the last year were positively associated with actor and partner depressive and anxiety symptoms, actor (but not partner) negative communication, and partner (but not actor) discrimination and negatively associated with both actor and partner emotional intimacy, actor (but not partner) relationship adjustment, dedication, and social support. These findings demonstrate the interdependent nature of IPV-associated factors in female same-gender couples. Clinical implications include evaluating factors associated with recent IPV use that take into account dyadic associations between partners.

女性同性伴侣经历亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 的比率高于其他伴侣，但针对该人群的 IPV 研究有限，且几乎完全集中在个体层面的相关性上。鉴于 IPV 的相互依存性质，本研究考察了女性同性伴侣中最近发生的 IPV 使用的行为者和伴侣关联。数据来自 103 对成年女性同性伴侣（=206 人），并使用行为者-伴侣相互依存模型进行分析。在过去一年中发生身体攻击的可能性与伴侣（而非行为者）的歧视、饮酒和焦虑症状呈正相关，与行为者和伴侣的关系调整、情感亲密和伴侣（而非行为者）的奉献和社会支持呈负相关。在过去一年中发生高度心理攻击的可能性与行为者和伴侣的抑郁和焦虑症状、行为者（而非伴侣）的负面沟通以及伴侣（而非行为者）的歧视呈正相关，与行为者和伴侣的情感亲密、行为者（而非伴侣）的关系调整、奉献和社会支持呈负相关。这些发现表明了女性同性伴侣中与 IPV 相关的因素的相互依存性质。临床意义包括评估与最近的 IPV 使用相关的因素，这些因素考虑了伴侣之间的二元关联。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
