Abstract

We sought to identify relationship and individual psychological factors that related to four profiles of intimate partner violence (IPV) among pregnant adolescent couples: no IPV, male IPV victim only, female IPV victim only, mutual IPV, and how associations differ by sex. Using data from a longitudinal study of pregnant adolescents and partners (n = 291 couples), we used a multivariate profile analysis using multivariate analysis of covariance with between and within-subjects effects to compare IPV groups and sex on relationship and psychological factors. Analyses were conducted at the couple level, with IPV groups as a between-subjects couple level variable and sex as a within-subjects variable that allowed us to model and compare the outcomes of both partners while controlling for the correlated nature of the data. Analyses controlled for age, race, income, relationship duration, and gestational age. Among couples, 64% had no IPV; 23% male IPV victim only; 7% mutual IPV; 5% female IPV victim only. Relationship (F = 3.61, P < .001) and psychological (F = 3.17, P < .001) factors differed by IPV group, overall. Attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, relationship equity, perceived partner infidelity, depression, stress, and hostility each differed by IPV profile (all P < .01). Attachment anxiety, equity, depression and stress had a significant IPV profile by sex interaction (all P < .05). Couples with mutual IPV had the least healthy relationship and psychological characteristics; couples with no IPV had the healthiest characteristics. Females in mutually violent relationships were at particularly high risk. Couple-level interventions focused on relational issues might protect young families from developing IPV behaviors. Aggr.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Females belonging to the IPV group scored higher on the anxious dimension of attachment compared to control participants.

    “Both found that females belonging to the IPV group scored higher on the anxious dimension of attachment compared to control participants.”

    From Exploring Relationships: A Systematic Review on Intimate Partner Violence and Attachment (2018) · cites this paper as Lewis et al., 2017

    The Results (Relationship Factors; page unavailable) report the lowest attachment anxiety in couples with no IPV and say women were most anxiously attached in the mutual-IPV and female-victim-only groups. The Discussion says women experiencing violence against them were more likely to be anxiously attached. The claim broadly describes females in an IPV group, but the paper distinguishes IPV profiles and does not establish the same comparison for every profile. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Two studies successfully compared groups of females with a history of IPV with groups of females without previous reported victimization.

    “Supporting the idea that victims of IPV may have high levels of anxious attachment, two studies successfully compared groups of females with a history of IPV with groups of females without previous reported victimization (Shechory, 2013; Lewis et al., 2017).”

  • Intellectual ability and gender may play a moderating role in the link between IPV and attachment.

    “For example, the role of individual differences has been pointed out, underlying that intellectual ability (Weiss et al., 2011) and gender (Wekerle and Wolfe, 1998; Lewis et al., 2017) may play a moderating role in such link.”

    From Exploring Relationships: A Systematic Review on Intimate Partner Violence and Attachment (2018) · cites this paper as Lewis et al., 2017

  • Several studies claim that one-sided IPV couples have at least one partner showing high scores on the attachment dimension of anxiety.

    “But several studies claim that one sided IPV couples have at least one partner showing high scores on the attachment dimension of anxiety (Lewis et al., 2017).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
