While research has demonstrated the relationship between psychopathy and intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration, evidence is mixed regarding how psychopathy facets relate to different forms of IPV perpetration. Literature has also underexplored how psychopathy relates to IPV victimization. To address these gaps, we investigated specificity in relationships between four psychopathy facets (interpersonal, affective, lifestyle, antisocial) and three types of IPV perpetration and victimization experiences (physical, psychological, sexual) across three samples. Zero-order correlations and regressions were conducted separately, followed by tests synthesizing the results. Across samples, correlations revealed small-to-moderate relationships between psychopathy facets and IPVs while multiple regressions revealed minimal-to-small unique effects of the facets. Findings highlight (a) that the lifestyle facet demonstrated the most consistent correlations with IPV experiences across samples while the other facets showed sample-specific relationships, and (b) that the limited unique effects of psychopathy facets implicate what they have in common as relevant to IPV experiences.
虽然研究已经证明了精神病态与亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)实施之间的关系,但关于精神病态的各个方面如何与不同形式的IPV实施相关,证据并不一致。文献也较少探讨精神病态与IPV受害之间的关系。为了填补这些空白,我们在三个样本中研究了四种精神病态方面(人际、情感、生活方式、反社会)与三种类型的IPV实施及受害经历(身体、心理、性)之间关系的特异性。分别进行了零阶相关和回归分析,随后进行了综合结果的检验。在各个样本中,相关性显示精神病态方面与IPV之间存在小到中等程度的关系,而多元回归显示这些方面的独特影响最小到较小。研究结果突出表明:(a)生活方式方面在各个样本中与IPV经历的相关性最为一致,而其他方面则呈现出样本特异性关系;(b)精神病态方面有限的独特影响表明它们的共同之处与IPV经历相关。
