Abstract

Intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV) is defined as any non-consensual sexual behavior perpetrated within an intimate relationship. It is overwhelmingly perpetrated by men against women and causes significant harm to the health and wellbeing of victim/survivors. Although it is generally accepted that IPSV is globally prevalent, to date, comprehensive instruments to measure IPSV have been lacking. Moreover, existing measurement tools have largely failed to capture the diversity of perpetrator tactics, the deeply degrading and dehumanizing nature of many IPSV behaviors, and the role of perpetrator intent. As a result, there is a dearth of robust quantitative data to help understand the nature and magnitude of the problem. This article describes the development of a new multi-dimensional measurement tool-the Intimate Partner Sexual Violence Scale (IPSVS). The IPSVS is grounded in qualitative evidence from victim/survivors and examines IPSV as a multi-dimensional phenomenon with perpetrator intent as a central organizing principle. Following consultation with experts, a representative sample of 702 women victim/survivors in Australia completed an online survey including 34 IPSV behaviors to establish reliability and validity of the items. Exploratory factor analysis revealed 20 items across 3 factors-"Dominance and humiliation," "Emotional coercion," and "Aggressive indifference"-explaining 52.681% of the variance. Cronbach's alphas ranged from .741 to .890. These domains highlight that different perpetrator motivations may underlie different types of IPSV, challenging the predominant classification of IPSV according to severity or level of physical harm. The IPSVS has the potential to dramatically improve measurement of sexual violence in intimate relationships and has important implications for future research and practice.

亲密伴侣性暴力量表(IPSVS)的开发与验证:测量亲密关系中性暴力的多维量表。
亲密伴侣性暴力 (IPSV) 是指在亲密关系中发生的任何未经同意的性行为。它绝大多数是由男性对女性实施的,并对受害者/幸存者的健康和福祉造成重大伤害。尽管人们普遍认为 IPSV 在全球范围内普遍存在,但迄今为止,仍缺乏衡量 IPSV 的综合工具。此外,现有的测量工具在很大程度上未能捕捉到施暴者策略的多样性、许多 IPSV 行为极具侮辱性和非人性的性质以及施暴者意图的作用。因此,缺乏有力的定量数据来帮助了解问题的性质和严重程度。本文介绍了一种新的多维测量工具--亲密伴侣性暴力量表(IPSVS)的开发情况。IPSVS 以受害者/幸存者提供的定性证据为基础,将亲密伴侣性暴力作为一种多维现象进行研究,并将施暴者的意图作为核心组织原则。在咨询专家后,702 名澳大利亚女性受害者/幸存者完成了一项在线调查,其中包括 34 种 IPSV 行为,以确定项目的可靠性和有效性。探索性因子分析显示,"支配和侮辱"、"情感胁迫 "和 "咄咄逼人的冷漠 "这 3 个因子共包含 20 个项目,解释了 52.681% 的方差。克朗巴赫系数介于 0.741 和 0.890 之间。这些领域突出表明,不同类型的 IPSV 可能有不同的施暴者动机,这对主要根据严重性或身体伤害程度对 IPSV 进行分类的做法提出了挑战。IPSVS 有可能极大地改进亲密关系中性暴力的测量方法,并对未来的研究和实践具有重要意义。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Interpersonal Violence is devoted to the study and treatment of victims and perpetrators of interpersonal violence. It provides a forum of discussion of the concerns and activities of professionals and researchers working in domestic violence, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault, physical child abuse, and violent crime. With its dual focus on victims and victimizers, the journal will publish material that addresses the causes, effects, treatment, and prevention of all types of violence. JIV only publishes reports on individual studies in which the scientific method is applied to the study of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Research may use qualitative or quantitative methods. JIV does not publish reviews of research, individual case studies, or the conceptual analysis of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Outcome data for program or intervention evaluations must include a comparison or control group.
