“…Indeed, consistent with typological perspectives on IPV, an emerging body of research conducted in HIC suggests that there is substantial heterogeneity in the patterns of IPV victimization that women experience and this heterogeneity may explain differential risk for negative outcomes (Ansara & Hindin, 2010;Cale, Tzoumakis, Leclerc, & Breckenridge, 2017;Carbone-Lopez, Kruttschnitt, & Macmillan, 2006;Dutton, Kaltman, Goodman, Weinfurt, & Vankos, 2005;Gupta et al, 2018;Sipsma et al, 2015). For example, in a sample of female university students in Australia and New Zealand, Cale et al (2017) identified three salient patterns of IPV (labeled low, moderate, and high) that differed according to the variety, degree, and severity of IPV; depression symptoms were significantly higher for women in the high IPV class compared with women in the other IPV profiles. Little research, however, has been conducted to examine IPV victimization patterns and their consequences in LLMIC and, to our knowledge, no studies in HIC or LLMIC have examined patterns of IPV victimization among pregnant women and/or their relation to mental health outcomes during the perinatal period.…”

Although numerous studies have established a link between intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and maternal mental health, extant research examining this association has not considered heterogeneity in the forms of IPV that women experience. This is an important gap given that typological perspectives suggest that mental health consequences of IPV victimization may depend on the particular pattern of IPV that is experienced. The current study used latent class analysis to (a) identify and characterize distinct patterns of physical, psychological, and sexual IPV and male controlling behavior in a sample of pregnant South African women ( n = 1,480) and (b) examine associations between IPV patterns and emotional distress during pregnancy (baseline) and 9 months postpartum (follow-up). Latent class analysis identified a three-class solution wherein the largest class demonstrated a low probability of IPV victimization across all indicators ( nonvictims; 72% of the sample) and the smallest class demonstrated high probabilities of having experienced moderate and severe forms of IPV victimization as well as male controlling behavior ( multiform severe controlling IPV; 4% of the sample). A third class ( moderate IPV) was identified for which there was a high probability of experiencing moderate, but not severe, physical and psychological IPV (24% of the sample). Age, education, cohabitation status, experience of childhood abuse, and forced first sex were associated with class membership. Multiform severe controlling IPV victims reported significantly greater emotional distress than moderate IPV victims and nonvictims at baseline and follow-up. The results contribute to understanding heterogeneity in the patterns of IPV that women experience that may reflect distinct etiological processes and warrant distinct prevention and treatment approaches.

“…An important element in understanding the use and experience of violence is whether certain tactics are used in isolation or if multiple tactics are used in a violent relationship. As reported by Cale et al, (2016) physical violence rarely occurs in isolation from other types of violence. Studies such as O' Leary and Maiuro (2001) show that physical violence is often present with psychological violence.…”

“…Dating violence is a serious social problem with physical violence affecting as many as 40% of young adults in New Zealand every year (Cale, Tzoumakis, Leclerc, & Breckenridge, 2016;Straus, 2004;Moffitt, Robins, & Caspi, 2001). While dating can be a positive experience, a growing body of studies demonstrate that violence in dating relationships is a common experience that causes significant harm and negative outcomes for young adults (for example, Marganski & Melander, 2018;Shorey, Meltzer, and Cornelius, 2010;Shorey, Cornelius, & Bell, 2008;Harned, 2002;Jackson, 1998a).…”

A FAIRYTALE ENDING? Violence in Young Adult Dating Relationships in New Zealand:Testing the utility of Johnson’s typology

Dating violence is a serious social problem that causes significant harm and negative outcomes for young adults (Shorey, Cornelius, & Bell, 2008). Attempts to explain dating violence have often treated those who experience it as a homogeneous group, with theorists divided over the question of gender symmetry versus male dominance as perpetrators. While family conflict researchers advocate gender symmetry, most feminist researchers stress differential offending rates that reflect current gender inequalities. A more sophisticated conceptual framework is required that captures the heterogeneous and complex nature of violence in dating and other interpersonal relationships (Lewis & Fremouw, 2001). This has led a number of researchers to develop empirically-based theories and models that attempt to reconcile different findings across studies. One of these is a typology of violence developed by Michael Johnson (2008) as a way to reconcile the differences between studies. This thesis applies Johnson’s typology to the context of young adult dating relationships in New Zealand with the aim of understanding more about the role of gender within intimate partner relationships. I utilised a mixed methods approach that included an extensive literature review, key informant interviews, an online survey, and in-depth qualitative interviews. This research identified two overarching findings. First, there was overwhelming evidence that a large majority of young adults experience some form of violence in a dating relationship, from more minor experiences to dating relationships characterised by severe and terrifying violence. The data demonstrate how dating violence is linked to the social norms of a youth culture characterised by high alcohol use and expectations around ‘hooking-up’, with contemporary technology adding to the complexities facing young adults as they navigate this terrain. The second main finding from this study was that there was positive support for Johnson’s (2008) typology in that there are different types of violence in intimate relationships, in this case in dating relationships. The interview data suggest that the complexity of dating violence is better captured through such a typological framework that does not view all dating violence as a unitary phenomenon. My application of Johnson’s typology provides a narrative that accounts for both dominant traditional gendered violence and also for violent relationships characterised by mutual expressions of conflict and violence. There are, however, some risks associated with the use of such typologies that I also identify and address. This study holds particular significance as one of the few New Zealand-based analyses of violence occurring in the context of contemporary New Zealand dating relationships. The findings provide strong support for the need to focus on a range of interventions and programmes delivered to young adults who are experiencing different types of violence. They also underscore the importance of critically analysing media messages, challenging traditional gender norms, and confronting attitudes and beliefs that support and validate the use of violence in dating relationships.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a severe human right violation and a significant public health problem in Turkey. However, its complexity and stratified relationship with mental health problems are still uncovered in this under researched community, as violence is often approached as a uniform health and social problem. In this study, we collected data from 539 female adults in heterosexual relationships in Turkey using convenience and snowball sampling. The aim was to examine violence‐related clusters and their association of these clusters with mental health outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and depression). We assessed whether participants experienced physical, sexual, and psychological violence in their intimate relationships and conducted a latent class analysis. We obtained five violence clusters: (1) no or low violence, (2) high psychological violence, (3) jealous control with physical violence, (4) moderate sexual and psychological violence, and (5) severe physical, sexual, and psychological violence. Analyses of variance showed that women who experienced multiple forms of IPV reported stronger depression, anxiety, and somatization compared with women in the no or low violence class. Additionally, they reported greater depression and anxiety compared with women who experienced only high psychological IPV. However, psychological violence amplified somatization as much as physical and sexual violence.
