Intimate Partner Violence in Interracial and Monoracial Couples
Martin, Brittny A.; Cui, Ming; Ueno, Koji; Fincham, Frank D.
Family Relations, v62 n1 p202-211 Feb 2013
This study, using a nationally representative sample, investigated intimate partner violence (IPV) in interracial and monoracial relationships. Regression analyses indicated that interracial couples demonstrated a higher level of mutual IPV than monoracial White couples but a level similar to monoracial Black couples. There were significant gender differences in IPV, with women reporting lower levels of victimization than men. Regarding relationship status, cohabiting couples demonstrated the highest levels of IPV, and dating couples reported the lowest levels. Regarding interactions among couple racial composition, relationship status, and respondents' gender, an interaction between racial composition and relationship status was found. Implications for practitioners and directions for future research are discussed. (Contains 4 tables and 1 note.)
