The concept of a battered woman syndrome was tested by assessing 50 battered women and 25 emotionally abused women who had recently left their relationships. For both groups, essential features of the syndrome were present and were significantly interrelated. Dynamic features of the prior abusive relationship correlated significantly with these sequelae. The concept of intermittency is proposed as an alternative to the cycle of violence theory as main contributor to the syndrome. Predictability of abuse was found to be unrelated to the intermittency measure.
通过对50名受虐妇女和25名最近脱离关系的情感受虐妇女进行评估，对受虐妇女综合征的概念进行了检验。对于这两组人来说，该综合征的基本特征都存在，且显著相关。先前虐待关系的动态特征与这些后遗症显著相关。提出间歇性概念作为暴力循环理论的替代，作为该综合征的主要促成因素。研究发现虐待的可预测性与间歇性测量无关。
