背景：关于亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）经历中性别差异的程度和性质一直存在争议。IPV的适当定义的分歧是中央到这个debate.Methods本研究使用潜在的类分析（LCA）映射的模式，身体暴力，性胁迫，心理虐待和控制行为，并检查LCA是否可以更好地照亮这种经验的性别性质比传统的措施IPV。从2004年加拿大综合社会调查的数据进行了分析，其中包括8360名妇女和7056名男子15岁及以上谁报告了当前或前配偶或普通法partner.Results结果显示IPV的模式为女性比男性的变化。女性有六个等级，男性有四个等级。女性和男性同样有可能经历不太严重的身体攻击行为，这些行为不属于控制模式。然而，只有妇女经历了严重和长期的暴力和控制模式，包括高度的恐惧和伤害。对于妇女和男子，中间模式的暴力和控制，模式描述完全非身体的行为abuse.The结果也揭示了实质性的差异，在IPV亚型为那些报告有关当前与前partner.Conclusion这些结果支持使用LCA在确定有意义的模式IPV和提供一个更细致入微的了解性别的作用比传统的措施。IPV的研究抽样的影响进行了讨论。
Background There has been an ongoing debate about the extent and nature of gender differences in the experience of intimate partner violence (IPV). Disagreement about the appropriate definition of IPV is central to this debate.Methods This study used latent class analysis (LCA) to map the patterns of physical violence, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behaviour, and examined whether LCA can better illuminate the gendered nature of this experience than conventional measures of IPV. Data from the 2004 Canadian General Social Survey were analysed, which included 8360 women and 7056 men 15 years of age and over who reported a current or ex-spouse or common-law partner.Results Results revealed more variation in the patterns of IPV for women than for men. Six classes were found for women, whereas four classes were found for men. Women and men were equally likely to experience less severe acts of physical aggression that were not embedded in a pattern of control. However, only women experienced a severe and chronic pattern of violence and control involving high levels of fear and injury. For women and men, intermediate patterns of violence and control, and patterns describing exclusively non-physical acts of abuse were also found. The results also revealed substantial differences in the IPV subtypes for those reporting about a current versus an ex-partner.Conclusion These results support the use of LCA in identifying meaningful patterns of IPV and provide a more nuanced understanding of the role of gender than conventional measures. Implications for sampling within IPV research are discussed.
