“…Further, bidirectional IPV (i.e., IPV where both partners are perpetrators and victims) has been found to be prevalent among college, community, and criminal justice samples [ 8 ]. Consequently, many researchers have adopted alternative theoretical models to the traditional gender-specific power and control model to better understand why physical IPV occurs [ 10 ]. One theoretical framework for IPV receiving increasing attention is Finkel’s I 3 (pronounced “cubic”) theory, as it allows for the integration of several models to better understand how known risk factors interact to predict violence [ 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”

“…Two plausible causal factors for perpetrating violence that—from a I 3 perspective—can be viewed as violent-impelling factors are the two insecure attachment dimensions, attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance [ 10 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. To better understand these factors, a brief overview of attachment theory and how it may relate to violence is provided below.…”

Insecure attachment has been found to be a risk factor for perpetrating physical intimate partner violence (IPV). However, this association is likely exacerbated by additional factors, such as conflicting insecure attachment in one’s partner and difficulties with overall emotion regulation and impulse control. The present study aimed to examine the associations between insecure attachment and physical IPV perpetration in male and female partners, as well as to examine whether these associations are exacerbated by involvement with a partner with opposing attachment needs and overall emotion dysregulation and impulsivity. Additionally, this study examined whether partners’ emotion dysregulation interacted to predict IPV. Two hundred eight heterosexual couples primarily recruited from a Hispanic-serving university completed questionnaires on attachment, emotion dysregulation, and one’s own and one’s partner’s perpetration. Results revealed that attachment anxiety, impulsivity, and an interaction effect between attachment avoidance and partner’s attachment anxiety were associated with self-reported, but not partner-reported, male perpetration. For females, attachment anxiety was associated with female IPV (self-reported and partner-reported), and impulsivity was associated with self-reported female IPV. Overall, results underscore how relationships between known risk factors and IPV perpetration may differ depending on if IPV perpetration is measured using self-reported or partner-reported data. Additional results and implications are discussed.

“…Recognizing these connections across the different types of violence that occur across the lifespan fits the current dialogue in the IPV literature which is showing broad agreement among IPV researchers and advocates that while there are a multitude of risk factors for IPV external to the individual (social, structural, community violence, family norms, economic etc. ), factors internal to the individual and/or shared in the couple (e.g., trauma histories, genetic vulnerabilities, cognitive processing styles, characteristic emotional/ behavioral reactions to particular social contexts) are important correlates, if not determinates of IPV victimization and perpetration (Eckhardt and Massa 2020).…”

Variation in Exposure to Violence in Early Adolescence Distinguishes between Intimate Partner Violence Victimization and Perpetration among Young Men Involved in the Justice System

et al. 2020

Early exposure to violence (ETV) has been repeatedly linked to violence in intimate relationships later in life. However, this association has rarely been explored among young men involved in the justice system, a group that is of significant policy concern. Methods. Drawing from four waves of data collected from 808 young men with histories of serious offending, this study examined rates of physical and emotional intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and perpetration. Next, the rates of IPV victimization-perpetration overlap were examined. Lastly, the associations between IPV in young adulthood and ETV in early adolescence were explored using standard difference-in-means tests. Findings show that victimization and perpetration of emotional IPV are common experiences among the men. Seventy-three percent of the sample report emotional IPV victimization and 70% report emotional IPV perpetration. Physical IPV is less common than emotional IPV with 44% of young men reporting being victims of physical IPV and 29% reporting perpetration of physical IPV. Strong linkages were observed between IPV victimization and IPV perpetration. Lastly, associations exist between exposure to violence as a witness or a victim and both emotional and physical IPV victimization and perpetration. IPV involvement as a victim and/or perpetrator is more common than not among young men involved in the justice system. Both emotional and physical forms of IPV are associated with witnessing and experiencing violence during adolescence. Intervention during adolescence is critical to avoid IPV during young adulthood.

Substantial literature has examined the effectiveness of intimate partner violence (IPV) interventions, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is noted as the second most common approach used in group interventions for partner violent men. However, as little research has examined how CBT principles are operationalized across program curricula, there is currently insufficient information from which to make recommendations for model CBT approaches in IPV interventions. In the current study, we review the literature to determine a set of core elements for comprehensive CBT interventions and use session-level curriculum data from 10 community-based programs to examine the presence of 14 components reflecting 4 CBT factors. Results suggest heterogeneity in the emphasis on CBT elements across programs, despite almost all managers listing CBT as a theoretical approach. Implications are discussed with a call for evaluators and meta-analysts to code for actual curriculum content as opposed to stated program labels.
