  • Following the idea that sexual violence in avoidant individuals may be a way to control the partner, this result makes sense as gender differences in sexuality are often attributed to a different valence in terms of dominance motivation.

    “Following the idea that sexual violence in avoidant individuals may be a way to control the partner, this result makes sense as gender differences in sexuality are often attributed to a different valence in terms of dominance motivation (Malamuth, 1998; Toates et al., 2017).”

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

    Sections 5.1 and 8.1 link dominance motivation with sexual violence and describe sex–power associations in some men. They do not establish a gender difference in the valence of dominance motivation; the passages found on attachment also do not identify avoidant individuals or say that they use sexual violence to control a partner.

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.
