“…The findings of this study are consistent with another study that found women who experienced emotional abuse scored significantly lower for functional status than non‐abused women on seven of the eight subscales (Wagner & Mongan, 1998). Similarly, in another study, it was suggested that women who were victims of violence experienced adverse mental health, and decreased ability to function socially and emotionally, in addition to impaired physical performance, vitality, general health, and reports of bodily pain (McFarlane et al ., 2000).

In the present study, we investigated the prevalence of psychological, physical, and sexual violence perpetrated by an intimate partner, and the effects on health status of postpartum women who gave birth at two tertiary hospitals in northeastern Thailand. Participants were recruited during pregnancy and interviewed at 6 weeks' postpartum. Measures included the Short Form 12-Item Health Survey, Psychological Maltreatment of Women Inventory, and Severity of Violence against Women scale. Participants reported high rates of psychological abuse, threats and/or acts of physical abuse, and sexual violence. Abused postpartum women had lower well-being than non-abused women on all Short Form 12-Item Health Survey subscales, except the general health subscale. These women also had significant poorer health compared to non-abused women, in social functioning and mental health. The study findings suggest that routine screening for intimate partner violence by maternity services is urgently needed.

Research has not conclusively determined whether men and women are equally likely to commit intimate partner violence (IPV). One explanation for the disparity in previous findings may be gender-based differences in reporting styles. The present study investigated whether there was any gender difference in self-reported IPV prevalence. A total of 3,740 Chinese couples from a representative population in Hong Kong were interviewed. Self-reports of men-to-women and women-to-men IPV between spouses were compared. Gender was controlled for to evaluate whether age, education, the Chinese concept of face, and other violence-related characteristics would affect the self-reporting of IPV. Findings supported gender symmetry in self-reported IPV prevalence as well as a moderate interspousal agreement in the self-reports. After adjustment for covariates, face was a significant factor predicting the interspousal differences in both men-to-women and women-to-men physical IPV.

“…Psychological victimization is even more prevalent than physical victimization, with one study finding that 90% of college women reported psychological victimization at some point in their relationships (Katz, Arias, & Beach, 2000). Several studies have demonstrated negative mental and physical health consequences of dating violence among women (Carlson, McNutt, Choi, & Rose, 2002;Coker et al, 2002;Golding, 1999;Kaura & Lohman, 2007;Lown & Vega, 2001), and a smaller literature has shown that men also suffer from negative mental health effects of dating violence (Dye & Eckhardt, 2000;McFarlane, Willson, Malecha, & Lemmey, 2000). This study focused on one specific correlate of dating violence victimization-anger-and examined potential differences in anger profiles across male and female undergraduates.…”

It has been well established that dating violence victimization is associated with various mental health problems. Relatively, little is known about similarities and differences between mental health correlates of dating violence victimization for males and females. We examined the associations between physical and psychological victimization experiences and measures of anger in a sample of 200 male and female undergraduates. Results suggest that men's victimization was more strongly associated with different forms of anger than women's victimization.
