“…We thus controlled for social desirability in analyses. As is typical (Marshall et al, 2020), couples generally had low levels of interpartner agreement in reports of IPV, which highlights the difficulties with obtaining accurate responses when assessing aggression via self-reports retrospectively. To address these limitations, researchers are recommended to develop multimodal methods of assessment.…”

Pornography use and intimate partner violence (IPV) are both prevalent in romantic relationships. However, information is lacking about whether pornography use predicts IPV. This study examined the relation between frequency of pornography use (FPU) and IPV across a span of 4 months in a sample of 132 different-sex couple dyads. At least one partner in each couple was attending a Canadian university. Participants ( N = 264) completed online measures of pornography use, IPV, and social desirability at baseline and at a 4-month follow-up. Two longitudinal actor–partner interdependence models using a structural equation framework to conduct path analyses demonstrated that (a) higher FPU among men at baseline predicted increases in IPV perpetration and victimization from baseline to 4-month follow-up for both men and women and (b) women’s baseline FPU did not predict change in IPV over time for themselves or their partners. These findings suggest that frequent pornography use among male partners in different-sex romantic relationships may represent an under-recognized risk factor for IPV, and further research is needed to identify latent factors that may be contributing to this relation. Although women’s baseline FPU did not predict changes in IPV over time, this may be because women used pornography less frequently than men.

“…The current research had strengths and limitations. In the first place, the use of couples as a unit of analysis allowed us to address some limitations that have been pointed out in studies on single informants of the couple (Hardesty & Ogolsky, 2020;Marshall et al, 2021;Riesgo et al, 2019). Undoubtedly, the use of information from both partners allows a more refined analysis of relational patterns.…”

“…Collecting reports from both partners undoubtedly offers additional information in order to get more accurate explanations of IPV. Nevertheless, the limitation of the potential disagreement has been pointed out as a worrying issue in the study of dyads' responses (Marshall et al, 2021). For example, high levels of concordance have been attributed to a large number of nonviolent couples, inflating the general concordance levels and recent research has shown that eliminating these non-violent couples' concordance levels are low to moderate (Marshall et al, 2021;Riesgo et al, 2019).…”

Background: The co-occurrence of intimate partner violence (IPV) has been usually determined by co-occurring reports of perpetration and victimization, but still not considering the interdependence of both members' reports. The current research aimed to analyze the dyadic patterns of IPV perpetration and victimization, considering the influence of sexism toward women, family functioning, and relationship duration. Method: The sample involved 242 couples heterosexual couples. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model was calculated to analyze the violent dynamics in the couple. For males, a couple-oriented pattern was identified, but for females the pattern was between couple-oriented and actor-only pattern. Results: These patterns remained stable when personal, family, and relational variables were included in the model, which present different effects on perpetration and victimization: males' hostile sexism predicted higher levels of male IPV perpetration and victimization as well as higher levels of male and female victimization via male perpetration. Regarding family functioning, higher family good functioning predicted lower IPV perpetration in males and lower victimization in females. Finally, relationship length predicted higher levels of IPV perpetration of both couple members and higher victimization via perpetration. Conclusions: These results are discussed in light of the interdependence of couple members' IPV perpetration and victimization.

“…Starting in the early 1980s, studies examining concordance using the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS; Straus, 1979) have suggested that there are very low levels of agreement in reports of IPV in heterosexual couples (Szinovacz, 1983; Edleson & Brygger, 1986; Kuijpers, 2020; Marshall et al, 2020), and that women are more likely to report experiences of IPV in general (Marshall et al, 2020) including their own use of IPV (Kuijpers, 2020). Previous literature has also shown higher agreement between both partners in reports of female-to-male partner violence (FMPV) than those of male-to-female partner violence (MFPV) (LaMotte et al, 2014).…”

Accurate assessment of intimate partner violence (IPV) using standardized measures can be a challenge as there is often discrepancy between partner reports, with previous research indicating very poor concordance between partners using the Conflict Tactics Scale. This study examines agreement between coparent reports of IPV using the Abusive Behavior Inventory (ABI) from 282 coparent dyads referred for Fathers for Change, an IPV intervention by the Department of Children and Families (DCF). Differences in partner concordance using intraclass correlations were examined based on type of violence, marital status/cohabitation, race/ethnicity and substance misuse problems. Intraclass correlations were also calculated for eight power and control items unique to the ABI. Overall agreement between coparents was poor. However, there was greater concordance about mothers’ who have used IPV toward fathers than fathers’ use of IPV toward mothers. There was lower agreement between reports of physical than psychological IPV especially for white coparents. All types of coparent relationships showed low levels of agreement, but cohabiting coparents showed the highest levels of agreement when reporting fathers’ IPV. In cases with one parent exhibiting substance misuse, concordance between reports of IPV increased. Results are consistent with prior findings that women report higher IPV than fathers even when assessments are done in the context of a DCF IPV treatment referral.
