“…Recent research also shows that gender-role conformity and gender-role violations may be important antecedents to violence (Reidy, Shirk, Sloan, & Zeichner, 2009;). Thus, gender, culture, power, and intimate partner violence are thought to be inexorably intertwined and need to be understood as such at the metaor contextual level (Claes and Rosenthal 1990;Harvey et al 2007;McHugh et al 2005).…”

This paper summarizes five challenging ongoing controversies involving gender and U. S. intimate partner violence (IPV) (i.e., gender symmetry of perpetration; utility of typologies; understanding bi-directionally violent couples; violence motivations and self-defense, and treatment effectiveness). Reviewed evidence support three central theses that: 1) there are subtypes of IPV; 2) women are as involved as men with some but not all subtypes of IPV, and 3) recognition of these gender-related challenges will improve policy, treatment, and working models of IPV. Within this paper, a dyadic culture-family-attachment-skill deficit model of IPV is conceptualized and three types of bi-directionally violent couples are named and described (dyadic dominance, dyadic dysregulation, and dyadic couple violence). Practice and policy implications of these advances are articulated.

“…Sharing resources is part of the natural course of couple relationships, and whether or not imbalances (and negative consequences) do occur when one spouse is being asked to share his or her resources with the other likely depends on how power is distributed in the couple across multiple dimensions. Typically, differences in power bases or tools for influence have been measured by obtaining self‐reports from only one spouse regarding perceptions of others' capacities to reward or punish them, or to offer or withhold resources (Claes & Rosenthal, 1990; Hauser, 1982; Hornung, McCullough, & Sugimoto, 1981).…”

In the past few decades, it has become increasingly clear to social scientists and policy makers alike that violence within the family is all too common and canits enormous costs to individuals, families, and society as a whole. Numerous controversies exist in the field, particularly with regard to what factors are significant in the etiology and development of violence between intimate partners. This article focuses on relationship power as a critical construct to consider in domestic violence, as it encompasses aspects of social, dyadic, and individual functioning. The literature on the construct of power and its relationship to domestic violence is reviewed and then placed in cultural context, followed by a discussion of M u r e directions for research on and treatment issues in power and violence.

“…Studies have found that status or power inequalities, patriarchal and traditional beliefs about gender roles play a role in the perpetration of IPV (Anderson, 1997;Atkinson et al, 2005;Claes & Rosenthal, 1990;DeKeseredy & Schwartz, 1998;Gelles, 1974;Macmillan & Gartner, 1999;McCloskey, 1996;Yodanis, 2004). Two macro-level studies by Yllo (1983Yllo ( , 1984 In college samples, both men and women have been found to experience abusive behaviors while in college (Harned, 2001;Forke et al, 2008;Perry & Fromuth, 2005).…”

Our research examines the effect of auditory status and gender on self-reported psychological and physical abuse of college students from a northeastern university in the United States. A total of 816 college students were surveyed. Forty classes were randomly selected and surveys were administered to students in those classes. Predictions from disability theory, feminist theory, and feminist disability theory were tested using binary logistic regression analysis. Gender specific binary logistic regressions were run to examine the possibility that predictors of abuse differ by gender. Disability theory predicted that Deaf and hard of hearing students were at a higher risk for reporting victimization. The results from the analyses support disability theory and show that Deaf and hard of hearing students were more likely to report victimization. Feminist theory predicted that women would be more likely to be abused than men. Feminist theory received mixed support. Women regardless of auditory status were more likely to report psychological abuse, but were not more likely to report physical abuse. Feminist disability theory hypothesized that the risk of abuse would be higher for Deaf and hard of hearing women than for either hearing women and men, and Deaf and hard of hearing men. Feminist disability theory was tested by including an interaction effect (auditory status by gender). Feminist disability theory received no support. The interaction effect between auditory status and gender was negative, indicating that Deaf and hard of hearing women college students were less likely to report victimization than one would expect when the interaction effect is not included in the model.
