Abstract

We investigated correlates of partner abuse in male same-sex relationships in a randomly selected community sample (N = 186). We included factors associated with abuse in heterosexual relationships, as well as factors of relevance to gay relationships. We assessed perpetration and receipt of partner abuse to examine whether variables were associated independently with abuse perpetration and/or receipt. Correlates of same-sex partner abuse were largely parallel to established correlates of heterosexual abuse. Income, education, and attachment orientation were associated with bidirectional partner abuse, and family violence and substance use were uniquely associated with victimization. Further, there were factors unique to same-sex partner abuse; HIV status and public outness were associated with bidirectional partner abuse, and internalized homophobia was uniquely associated with abuse perpetration.

  • For IPV perpetrators in same-sex relationships, Bartholomew et al. claimed a positive correlation between anxiety and both psychological (r = 0.18) and physical (r = 0.19) IPV and a negative correlation between avoidance and physical IPV (r = −0.22).

    “For what concerns IPV perpetrators in same sex relationships, the study claimed a positive correlation between anxiety and both psychological (r = 0.18) and physical (r = 0.19) IPV and a negative correlation between avoidance and physical IPV (r = −0.22).”

  • According to Bartholomew et al. (2008), IPV victims in same-sex relationships show a negative correlation between avoidance and both psychological (−0.17) and physical (−0.16) IPV, whereas there was a positive correlation between anxiety and physical IPV (r = 0.17).

    “According to Bartholomew et al. (2008), IPV victims in same sex relationships show a negative correlation between avoidance and both psychological (−0.17) and physical (−0.16) IPV, whereas there was a positive correlation between anxiety and physical IPV (r = 0.17).”

  • Concerning psychological IPV, perpetration was positively correlated with attachment anxiety (r = 0.18), fearful attachment (r = 0.40), and preoccupied attachment (r = 0.26), and negatively correlated with secure attachment styles (r = −0.37).

    “Concerning psychological IPV (Landolt and Dutton, 1997; Bartholomew et al., 2008), perpetration turned out to be positively correlated to the attachment dimension of anxiety (r = 0.18) and to fearful (r = 0.40) and preoccupied (r = 0.26) and negatively correlated to secure attachment styles (r = −0.37).”

  • For physical IPV, perpetration was positively correlated with fearful attachment style (r = 0.34) and attachment anxiety (r = 0.19), but negatively correlated with avoidance (r = −0.22).

    “For physical IPV (Landolt and Dutton, 1997; Bartholomew et al., 2008), correlations are different: perpetration of this form of violence is positively correlated with fearful attachment style (r = 0.34) and with the attachment dimensions of anxiety (r = 0.19), but it is negatively correlated with avoidance (r = −0.22).”

  • Bartholomew et al. (2008) found that avoidance was negatively related to IPV victimization and perpetration among their sample of homosexual men.

    “Bartholomew et al. (2008) found that avoidance was negatively related to IPV victimization and perpetration among their sample of homosexual men.”

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.
