Existing measures and theories of intimate partner coercive control largely evaluate men's coercion of women. The extent of knowledge pertaining to intimate relationships among other genders and sexual identities is unclear. Guided by a theoretical framework of intersectionality, we examined and synthesized original studies on coercive control by (perpetration) or against (victimization) Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning, intersex, and asexual individuals within intimate partner relationships. We searched eight academic databases for records from 2014 through 2022 and hand-searched review articles' reference lists, supplemented with gray literature and website searches. Using duplicate screening, we identified 1,774 unique documents; 526 met preliminary eligibility criteria and 277 were retained for data extraction in duplicate. Coercive control was more common among minority individuals and was related to mental health challenges. Few studies reported on gender- or sexual-identity specific forms of coercive control, and an intersectional focus was uncommon. This review revealed a lack of agreed definition of coercive control or accepted standard of measurement, and a gap in research with individuals who identify as gender diverse, gender fluid or intersex, or those identifying their sexuality as asexual, pansexual, or sexually diverse.
现有的亲密伴侣强制性控制措施和理论在很大程度上评估了男性对女性的强制行为。关于其他性别和性认同者之间亲密关系的知识程度尚不清楚。本研究以交叉性理论框架为指导，对二灵人、女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、酷儿、疑问、间性人和无性恋者在亲密伴侣关系中实施（施害者）或遭受（受害者）强制性控制的原始研究进行了检查和综合分析。我们在 2014 年至 2022 年期间从八个学术数据库中搜索了记录，并对综述文章的参考文献进行了手工搜索，同时补充了灰色文献和网站搜索。通过重复筛选，我们确定了 1774 份独特的文献；其中 526 份初步符合资格标准，277 份被保留用于重复提取数据。强制性控制在少数群体中更为常见，与心理健康挑战有关。很少有研究报告性别或性认同特定形式的强制性控制，也很少有交叉性焦点。这项综述揭示了缺乏对强制性控制的共识定义或可接受的衡量标准，以及在研究中存在差距，涉及到那些认同自己的性别多样化、性别流动或间性，或认同自己的性取向为无性恋、泛性恋或性多样化的个体。
