Mental health factors and intimate partner violence perpetration and victimization: A meta-analysis.
Abstract
Objectives: This meta-analysis aimed to explore the relationship between mental health disorders and symptoms of mental health disorders (depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], antisocial personality disorder [PD], and borderline PD) and physical intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and victimization for males and females. Method: Data from 207 studies, yielding 511 effect sizes, were analyzed. The overall strength of each correlate for IPV perpetration and victimization was examined. Moderator analyses were used to compare the strength of correlates for IPV victimization versus perpetration, as well as for males versus females. Results: Depression, anxiety, PTSD, antisocial PD, and borderline PD were all significant correlates for both IPV victimization and perpetration. Anxiety and PTSD were significantly stronger correlates for victimization than for perpetration, and borderline PD and antisocial PD were significantly stronger correlates for perpetration than for victimization. For women, borderline PD was a significantly stronger correlate for IPV perpetration than for victimization, and PTSD was a significantly stronger correlate for IPV victimization than perpetration. Depression was a significantly stronger correlate for IPV victimization for women than for men. Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive examination of mental health disorders and their link to IPV perpetration and victimization. The results suggest that clinicians work…

“These previous meta-analyses have revealed small to moderate mean correlations between physical or combined IPV and PTSD, depression, anxiety, suicidality, and drug and alcohol use, with the most robust evidence with PTSD and with depression (Devries et al., 2013; Golding, 1999; Spencer et al. 2019; Stith et al., 2004).”

In the citing paper
“Most meta-analyses to date have not focused on psychological IPV and have either solely focused on the mental health implications of physical IPV exposure (e.g., Golding, 1999; Spencer et al., 2019; Stith et al., 2004), or have combined different types of IPV (e.g., Beydoun et al., 2012; Devries et al., 2013; Trevillion et al., 2012).”

“For instance, Spencer et al.’s (2019) large meta-analysis found small to moderate correlations between physical IPV and PTSD (r = .34), as well as depression (r = .25).”

“While research has established an association between depression symptoms and IPV victimization and perpetration (S. Oram et al., 2014; Spencer et al., 2019; K. Trevillion et al., 2012), the temporal relationship between these two experiences remains unclear.”

“research has found that while PTSD is more strongly associated with IPV victimization, AS traits are more strongly associated with IPV perpetration (Spencer et al., 2019).”

“…has been a growing body of research that examines risk markers for IPV perpetration and victimization (e.g., Cafferky, Mendez, Anderson, & Stith, 2018; Spencer, Cafferky, & Stith, 2016; Spencer et al., 2017; Stith, Smith, Penn, Ward, & Tritt, 2004), yet less is known about the risk factors for IPH.”

“These findings are in keeping with previously published systematic reviews which suggest an association between mental illness and perpetration of domestic violence (Oram, Trevillion, Khalifeh, Feder, & Howard, 2013; Spencer et al., 2019).”

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.
