“…Compared to those in cohabiting relationships, dating couples are less likely to experience bidirectional, perpetration only, and victimization only compared to no violence. As such, cohabiters are at higher risk for partner violence when compared to individuals in dating relationships which is consistent with previous research (Magdol et al, 1998;Stets & Straus, 1990). Cohabiting couples may be at higher risk for IPV due to more isolation from social network members and lower relationship investment and/or commitment (Johnson & Ferraro, 2000;Stets & Straus, 1990).…”

“…Relationship status has an impact on being involved in a violent relationship, with cohabiters having the highest rates of violence followed by married and dating couples (Magdol, Moffitt, Caspi, & Silva, 1998;Stets & Straus, 1990). Brown and Bulanda (2008) examined the association between relationship status and IPV perpetration and victimization, and found that cohabiting women were the most likely to perpetrate or be the victims of IPV followed by married and dating women, respectively.…”

In order to more fully understand the context and impact of intimate partner violence (IPV), it is important to make distinctions between different types of relationship aggression. As such, the current study longitudinally examines the differential effects of childhood, adolescent, and demographic factors on three different partner violence groups: those who experience bidirectional IPV, those who experience unidirectional IPV, and those who do not experience either form of IPV. Multinomial logistic regression results reveal that depressive symptoms and lower partner education predict bidirectional when compared to unidirectional IPV and nonviolence. In contrast, other risk factors such as illicit drug use are found to be predictors of unidirectional violence only, which reveals that the correlates of violence vary depending upon the type of IPV examined.

“…This may have resulted in an inflated association between the two. Third, we did not collect data on the nature of the respondents' relationship (dating, cohabitation, or marriage), which some have shown to relate to risk for partner violence (Magdol et al, 1998b). Fourth, the current study aimed to investigate several key childhood risks for partner violence, but other processes, such as the role of peers at various developmental stages, may also be important (e.g., Capaldi et al, 2001).…”

An unselected sample of 543 children was followed over 20 years to test the independent effects of parenting, exposure to domestic violence between parents (ETDV), maltreatment, adolescent disruptive behavior disorders, and emerging adult substance abuse disorders (SUDs) on the risk of violence to and from an adult partner. Conduct disorder (CD) was the strongest risk for perpetrating partner violence for both sexes, followed by ETDV, and power assertive punishment. The effect of child abuse was attributable to these 3 risks. ETDV conferred the greatest risk of receiving partner violence; CD increased the odds of receiving partner violence but did not mediate this effect. Child physical abuse and CD in adolescence were strong independent risks for injury to a partner. SUD mediated the effect of adolescent CD on injury to a partner but not on injury by a partner. Prevention implications are highlighted.

“…For example, developmental studies have indicated that conduct problems or antisocial behavior in childhood or adolescence significantly predict later aggression toward a partner for young men as well as young women (e.g., Andrews, Foster, Capaldi, & Hops, 2000;Ehrensaft et al, 2003;Fergusson, Horwood, & Ridder, 2005;Magdol, Moffitt, Caspi, & Silva, 1998;Woodward, Fergusson, & Horwood, 2002). Kim and Capaldi (2004) also found that women's antisocial behavior and depressive symptoms accounted for significant additional variance in concurrent levels of the young men's physical and psychological aggression over the man's own psychopathology.…”

Typological approaches have become highly influential in research on violence in couples, and yet issues related to such approaches have not been well addressed. We review the utility of batterer typologies, both for clinical applications and for understanding violence in couples. The principal types of batterer typologies are discussed, along with a number of issues that might limit their utility for explaining the etiology and developmental course of partner violence in couples. We propose a dyadic model of couples' aggression, and we explain ways that such a model provides better conceptualization of the development of the couples' violence over time, including issues of persistence and desistance of violence, and that can help inform prevention and treatment.
