“…Better yet, just don't abuse your wife ]. Values certainly shine through in tone, which is a critical factor in survivor engagement with any support service (Beaulaurier, Seff, Newman, & Dunlop, ; Brabeck, ; Fugate, Landis, Riordan, Naureckas, & Engel, ). Consider, for example, these three directives.…”

This article presents the first situation-rooted typology of intimate partner violence (IPV) postings in social question and answer (Q&A) sites. Survivors as well as abusers post high-risk health, legal, and financial questions to Q&A sites; answers come from individuals who self-identify as lawyers, experts, survivors, and abusers. Using grounded theory this study examines 1,241 individual posts, each within its own context, raising issues of agency and expectations. Informed by Savolainen's everyday life information seeking (ELIS) and Nahl's affective load theory (ALT), the resultant Q&A typology suggests implications for IPV service design, policy development, and research priorities.

“…Any of the actors within the IPV small world can exercise any of the seven subtypes of authoritarian control. In subtype 3.1, survivors conceal (censor) their abuse history from medical personnel (Wong et al., , p. 386) or the police (Johnson, , p. 501); abusers censor mailings about community services (Brabeck, ); and police, courts, and prosecutors withhold case information from other agencies because of jurisdictional disputes (Westbrook, , p. 831). In subtype 3.2, disinformation generally originates with the abuser as an instantiation of abuse, for example, insisting (wrongly and deliberately) that only visible wounds constitute abuse (Westbrook, , p. 829).…”

“…CNI “by their own ideas” can occur in cases of IPV in which the abused person lacks cultural capital and has formed incorrect concepts about IPV. Examples occur among immigrants and those in somewhat isolated ethnic communities, for example, Orthodox Jewish women (Ringel & Bina, , p. 278), Mexican immigrants (Brabeck, , p. 2), and South Asian immigrants (Ahmad et al., , p. 614).…”

Compelled Nonuse of Information (CNI) is a model of information behavior developed by Houston (2009, 2011a). CNI posits the existence of nonvolitional mechanisms that force information behaviors beyond the control of the individual. The CNI model consists of six primary CNI types: intrinsic somatic barriers, socio‐environmental barriers, authoritarian barriers, threshold knowledge shortfall barriers, attention shortfall barriers, and filtering barriers. This typology of information interaction limitations functions across a full range of socio‐economic contexts and thus lends itself to analysis of intractable power‐based inequities such as intimate partner violence (IPV). IPV includes physical, mental, financial, and social attacks that, if known, generate socially sanctioned responses of both formal (e.g., law enforcement) and informal (e.g., pastoral) approaches. Using the CNI framework to analyze information factors in distinct facets of the IPV experience, as identified in the cross disciplinary research on this phenomenon, this article provides a practical application of CNI to a complicated, high‐risk phenomenon.
