经济虐待是施暴者用以维持对其伴侣的权力和控制的行为模式的一部分。然而，目前并没有对经济虐待的衡量标准。本研究描述了经济虐待量表的开发过程，该量表旨在填补这一空白。研究人员对103名家庭暴力幸存者进行了访谈，他们每个人都对经济、身体和心理虐待以及经济困难的衡量标准做出了回应。研究结果为该量表的信度和效度提供了证据。这项研究是了解幸存者所经历的经济虐待的程度和影响的重要的第一步。
Economic abuse is part of the pattern of behaviors used by batterers to maintain power and control over their partners. However, no measure of economic abuse exists. This study describes the development of the Scale of Economic Abuse, which was designed to fill this gap. Interviews were conducted with 103 survivors of domestic abuse, each of whom responded to measures of economic, physical, and psychological abuse as well as economic hardship. Results provide evidence for the reliability and validity of the scale. This study is an important first step toward understanding the extent and impact of economic abuse experienced by survivors.
