Despite considerable evidence linking alcohol use and intimate partner aggression among mixed-sex couples, scant research has examined this association in same-sex couples using a dyadic framework. The aim of the present study was to examine associations between one's own and their partner's alcohol use (i.e., drinks per week, hazardous alcohol use) and intimate partner aggression (physical, psychological) perpetration while accounting for the interdependence among partners in alcohol use. Participants were 326 women (M = 27.57, SD = 3.65) from 163 female-female couples who independently completed measures of drinks per week, hazardous alcohol use, psychological intimate partner aggression victimization and perpetration, and physical intimate partner aggression victimization and perpetration. Actor-partner interdependence structural equation models found that (1) actor drinks per week were positively associated with one's own physical assault perpetration (2) actor hazardous alcohol use was positively associated with one's own physical assault and psychological aggression perpetration and (3) partner drinks per week and hazardous alcohol use were positively associated with actor's psychological aggression perpetration. No other significant effects were detected. Collectively, findings highlight the nuanced relationship between alcohol use and intimate partner aggression among same-sex female couples and suggest that one's own alcohol use is associated with intimate partner psychological and physical aggression perpetration. In contrast, the only partner effect was partner's alcohol use in association with actor's psychological aggression perpetration. These findings differ from prior research with heterosexual couples and underscore the need for future research with same-sex couples rather than attempts to generalize findings across populations.
尽管有大量证据表明混合性别伴侣中的饮酒与亲密伴侣暴力之间存在关联，但很少有研究使用对偶框架来研究同性伴侣中的这种关联。本研究的目的是检验参与者自身和伴侣的饮酒量（即每周饮酒量、危险饮酒）与亲密伴侣暴力（身体、心理）侵害之间的关联，同时考虑到伴侣在饮酒方面的相互依存关系。参与者是来自 163 对女女伴侣的 326 名女性（M=27.57，SD=3.65），她们分别独立完成了每周饮酒量、危险饮酒、心理亲密伴侣暴力受害和侵害以及身体亲密伴侣暴力受害和侵害的测量。演员-伴侣相互依存结构方程模型发现：（1）演员每周饮酒量与自身身体攻击侵害呈正相关；（2）演员危险饮酒与自身身体攻击和心理攻击侵害呈正相关；（3）伴侣每周饮酒量和危险饮酒与演员的心理攻击侵害呈正相关。没有发现其他显著影响。总的来说，这些发现突出了同性女性伴侣中饮酒与亲密伴侣暴力之间的微妙关系，并表明自身饮酒与亲密伴侣的心理和身体攻击侵害有关。相比之下，唯一的伴侣效应是伴侣的饮酒与演员的心理攻击侵害有关。这些发现与异性恋伴侣的先前研究不同，强调了未来对同性伴侣进行研究的必要性，而不是试图将研究结果推广到不同人群。
