“…Interestingly, although the well documented concurrent association between physical and psychological aggression was observed (Bates et al, 2014;Bookwala et al, 1992;Burman et al, 1992;Carney & Barner, 2012;Cordova et al, 1993;Fawson, 2015;Lloyd, 1996;Margolin et al, 1988;O'Leary & Slep, 2003;Sabourin et al, 1993), we found no support for the conclusion that earlier physical aggression contributed to the emergence of later psychological aggression.…”

“…Our central findings of an apparent temporal pattern between psychological and physical aggression takes nothing away from the well documented stability for both forms of aggression and their moderate-to-strong concurrent relationships. Indeed, these are consistent with the existing literature which has documented stability and concurrent associations during adolescence (Cano et al, 1998;Fawson, 2015;Fritz & Slep, 2009;O'Leary & Slep, 2003) and adulthood (Aldarondo, 1996;Bates et al, 2014;Bookwala et al, 1992;Capaldi et al, 2003;Carney & Barner, 2012;Fritz & O'Leary, 2004;Hamby & Sugarman, 1999;Lorber & O'Leary, 2004;Woffordt et al, 1994). Our study shows these associations across multiple time points among young adults, suggesting that these associations continue over time.…”

“…Bates, Graham-Kevan, and Archer (2014) found that both men and women in their largely young adult sample who perpetrated controlling forms of psychological IPV were also likely to perpetrate verbal and physical IPV. Additionally, Fawson (2015) found an association between the use of controlling forms of psychological IPV and the perpetration of psychological, physical, and sexual IPV among adolescents. The strong concurrence of these forms of aggression is clearly evident in the literature, but the temporal organization of these forms of aggression remains an important question to ask directly.…”

Temporal Associations Between Psychological and Physical Intimate Partner Violence: A Cross-Lag Analysis

The present study examined the relationship between psychological and physical forms of intimate partner violence (IPV) across four waves of data during the developmental period of young adulthood. The links from early psychological aggression to later physical aggression and from early physical aggression to later psychological aggression across waves were tested while controlling for their cross-time stabilities and concurrent associations. IPV data were collected annually from 434 young adult respondents involved in a romantic relationship at least once during the respective years from the ages of 22–25. On average, participants provided IPV data for 3 out of the 4 years covered by the study (M = 2.82; standard deviation [SD] = 1.14). Results of a cross-lagged structural equation model (SEM) model indicated significant cross-time stabilities as well as significant, positive concurrent associations for both forms of aggression. Most important to this study were the findings that, controlling for these stabilities and concurrent associations, early psychological aggression was a consistent positive predictor of later physical aggression across waves whereas the opposite direction from early physical aggression to later psychological aggression was either non-significant or significant and negative.

“…Analyses focused on determining correlates of CBs revealed that young women, and women who have resided outside of Spain, are at greatest risk of experiencing control within the context of an ongoing relationship. These findings align with recent research which indicated that the highest prevalence of CBs was among adolescents ( M age = 15.7; Fawson, 2015). That women who are not lifelong residents of Spain are at greater risk suggests a potential link between immigrant status and IPV, which may be a function of social isolation and a more limited social network observed among immigrant women (Rodríguez-Menés & Safranoff, 2012).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been linked to a broad range of negative consequences. Thus, early detection and prevention of behaviors associated with IPV is necessary to combat this global public health problem. Controlling behaviors (CBs) within the intimate context, including acts to constrain free mobility or access to friends and relatives, have been characterized as a moderate form of violence and may be an indicator of more severe IPV. Previous research in this field, however, has been primarily conducted in the United States. Accordingly, we lack knowledge of similar findings in other countries to draw more general conclusions about observed associations between these variables, and to identify underlying mechanisms. The current study analyzes the role of control within the Spanish context by examining its correlates, as well as the role and impact of CBs on psychological and physical violence. To achieve these objectives, we use data from the Spanish sample of the Violence Against Women Survey carried out by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights ( N = 1,520 adult women). The results indicated that young women, women with a previous history of physical/sexual abuse during childhood, and women who have resided in Spain for fewer years are at greater risk of experiencing control within the context of an ongoing relationship. Partner risk factors included frequent episodes of drunkenness and general violence (i.e., violence outside of the home). In addition, control was more frequently reported among couples where the man was older than the woman. As hypothesized, women who reported CB by their partners were more likely to experience psychological and physical violence. These findings emphasize the importance of preventing CBs to avert the most severe forms of violence, and provides relevant information about the groups that could most benefit from these efforts.

“…De un lado, las relaciones, aunque estadísticamente significativas, son de una magnitud pequeña y de modo tentativo se podrían inferir que las actitudes transcendentes se encuentran ligadas a una mayor sensibilidad personal, mientras que las sexistas más estrechamente vinculadas la insensibilidad social. Por otro lado, las diferencias a nivel de género pueden referirse en torno a la dureza emocional, interpretando que los varones suelen adscribirse con ello al rol de agresores y las mujeres al de víctima (Fawson, 2015;Herrero, Torres, Fernández-Suárez, y Rodríguez-Díaz, 2016).…”
