Risk factors for unidirectional and bidirectional intimate partner violence among young adults

A Latent Class Approach to Understanding the Intergenerational Transmission of Violence in Emerging Adult Relationships

“…Moreover, approximately 76% of participants reported perpetration (n = 114) and 70% (n = 105) victimization of intimate partner violence. Our estimates align with past estimates of emerging adults who have experienced intimate partner violence in the United States, which have ranged from 25% to 75% (HalpernMeekin, Manning, Giordano, & Longmore, 2013;Renner & Whitney, 2012;Rennison & Welchans, 2000;Whitaker, Haileyesus, Swahn, & Saltzman, 2007). Table 2 presents the fit indices and inferential test statistics for one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-class solutions.…”

Associations and Experiences Observed for Family and Nonfamily Forms of Violent Behavior in Different Relational Contexts Among Swedish Men and Women

“…A number of studies on re-victimization does consider the relational context of adult victimization, for example, those that have found strong associations between women's experiences of different kinds of childhood abuse and intimate partner violence in adulthood (Coid et al 2001;Desai et al 2002;Whitfield et al 2003;Rich, Gidycz, Warkentin, Loh and Weiland 2005;McKinney, Caetano, Ramisetty-Mikler and Nelson 2009;Renner and Whitney 2012). Contradictory findings exist for men.…”

Do self-control depletion and negative emotion contribute to intimate partner aggression? A lab-based study.

“…It is possible that similar processes occurred in the present study. Moreover, our results comport with survey data showing the bidirectional nature of IPA (Renner & Whitney, 2012), and highlight that dating violence s e L f -C o n t r o L D e p L e t i o n a n D i n t i m a t e p a r t n e r a g g r e s s i o n 13 is an interactional process in which individuals function as part of an interdependent system. These findings point to the importance of examining dyadic interactions when trying to understand the situational processes giving rise to IPA.…”

“…Although studies of self-reported static conditions are useful in identifying the general characteristics of those who commit IPA (O' Leary & Slep, 2006), they say little about the dyadic processes leading to aggression. Indeed, much IPA is bidirectional (Renner & Whitney, 2012), and even when it is unidirectional, aggression is likely to occur after a conflictual in-teraction between partners (Dobash & Dobash, 1984). Thus, although the responsibility for IPA always lies with the aggressor, at its core partner aggression is an interdependent system in which each person not only initiates actions but also responds to those of his or her partner.…”
