A Typological Identification of Intimate Partner Violence Perpetrators in Mexican Samples
2016
This study explored different types of intimate partner violence (ipv) perpetra- tors (and victims) in Mexican clinical and non-clinical samples and the differential mental effects among ipv types through Johnson's typological framework. A total of 365 partic- ipants (court-mandated men to intervention programs, victims of domestic violence seeking psychological support and male and female high school students) provided information about their ipv perpetration/victimization experiences and data on several mental health indicators. Less-controlling violence prevails in non-clinical samples, and more high-controlling ipv prevails in clinical samples, the latter more frequently reported to be mutually-perpetrated. More adverse mental health effects were associ- ated to more coercive ipv. Implications indicate the need to acknowledge the heterogeneity of ipv in practice and research in clinical and non-clinical samples in Mexico.
