Abstract

This paper presents incidental data on sweethearting from a study on sexual violence in intimate-partner relationships between men and women in The Bahamas. Females participating in the study reported male infidelity to be common (with about 20% and possibly as many as about 50% of men being unfaithful) in both unmarried and married relationships. Associated with infidelity were behaviours of concern, such as physical and sexual violence, as well as psychological abuse by male partners. These abusive behaviours were associated with the woman feeling that she would leave the relationship if she could, and that the relationship was not a loving one. Furthermore, the study suggests that unfaithful married men are more likely to demonstrate activities of concern (in the form of elevated scores for domestic violence and psychological abuse) compared to unfaithful unmarried men in relationships with women.

巴哈马异性关系中与男性 "甜言蜜语"(不忠)有关的行为
本文介绍了一项关于巴哈马男女亲密伴侣关系中性暴力的研究中有关情人关系的偶然数据。参与研究的女性报告称,在未婚和已婚关系中,男性不忠的现象很普遍(约有 20%,甚至可能多达约 50%的男性不忠)。与不忠相关的还有一些令人担忧的行为,如身体暴力和性暴力,以及男性伴侣的心理虐待。这些虐待行为与妇女认为如果可以,她会离开这段关系以及这段关系并不充满爱有关。此外,研究还表明,与女性关系中不忠实的未婚男性相比,不忠实的已婚男性更有可能表现出令人担忧的行为(表现为家庭暴力和心理虐待得分升高)。
