Understanding others' thoughts and feelings (i.e., perspective-taking) has consistently been recognized as a crucial protective factor against intimate partner violence (IPV). However, previous research has predominantly focused on dispositional perspective-taking, assessed through self-report measures, and has often overlooked communicated perspective-taking, assessed through observational measures, even though it may play a critical role in preventing romantic conflicts from escalating into violence. The current study used a dyadic observational design to examine the associations between (1) self-reported dispositional and (2) observed communicated dyadic perspective-taking during an actual couple conflict discussion and psychological, physical and sexual IPV perpetration in an inclusive sample of young adult community couples ( = 178). Findings revealed distinct associations between dispositional and communicated perspective-taking across IPV forms. Both dispositional and communicated perspective-taking were negatively associated with the individual's own and their partner's psychological IPV perpetration. Dispositional perspective-taking was negatively associated with the individual's own physical IPV perpetration, while communicated perspective-taking was negatively associated with the partner's physical IPV perpetration. Dispositional perspective-taking was negatively associated with one's own and their partner's sexual IPV perpetration. Secondary analyses also showed significant interactions between partners' perspective-taking in association with IPV. Our findings highlight the overlapping yet unique and inherently dyadic contributions of dispositional and communicated perspective-taking to IPV dynamics in young adult couples.
理解他人的想法和感受（即换位思考）一直被认为是预防亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的关键保护因素。然而，以往的研究主要集中在通过自我报告测量评估的特质性换位思考上，并且常常忽视通过观察测量评估的沟通性换位思考，尽管它可能在防止浪漫冲突升级为暴力方面发挥关键作用。本研究采用二元观察设计，在一个包括年轻成年社区夫妻（N = 178）的全纳样本中，考察了（1）自我报告的特质性和（2）在实际夫妻冲突讨论中观察到的沟通性二元换位思考与心理、身体和性方面的亲密伴侣暴力行为之间的关联。研究结果揭示了不同形式的亲密伴侣暴力行为中特质性和沟通性换位思考之间的不同关联。特质性和沟通性换位思考都与个体自身及其伴侣的心理亲密伴侣暴力行为呈负相关。特质性换位思考与个体自身的身体亲密伴侣暴力行为呈负相关，而沟通性换位思考与伴侣的身体亲密伴侣暴力行为呈负相关。特质性换位思考与个体自身及其伴侣的性亲密伴侣暴力行为呈负相关。二次分析还显示，伴侣的换位思考与亲密伴侣暴力行为之间存在显著的交互作用。我们的研究结果强调了特质性和沟通性换位思考对年轻成年夫妻亲密伴侣暴力动态的重叠但独特且内在的二元贡献。
