Abstract:
Research about interpartner agreement on intimate partner violence (IPV) is mainly based on community and clinical samples, with forensic or court-related samples being overlooked. This study assesses interpartner agreement on IPV reports based on the Revised Conflict Tactic Scales, aiming to explore if the proxy method would be reliable in a court-related setting. The study sample comprised 62 different-sex couples identified in the Portuguese judicial system due to an IPV-related crime perpetrated by men. Agreement was assessed based on different indexes: percent agreement and Gwet\'s AC1 for occurrence, and Tau-b and intraclass correlations for frequency. Men\'s and women\'s perpetration were considered. Results showed that interpartner agreement on IPV occurrence (ranging from poor-to-very good) tended to be higher and more consistent among indexes than agreement on IPV frequency (ranging from non-existent to strong). This study highlights the need to collect both partners\' reports in court-related settings.
摘要:
关于亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)的伴侣间协议的研究主要基于社区和临床样本,法医或法庭相关样本被忽视。本研究根据修订后的冲突战术量表评估IPV报告的合作伙伴间协议,旨在探索代理方法在与法院相关的环境中是否可靠。研究样本包括葡萄牙司法系统中由于男性犯下的与IPV有关的犯罪而确定的62对不同性伴侣。协议是根据不同的指标进行评估的:协议百分比和Gwet的AC1发生,以及Tau-b和类内频率相关性。考虑了男人和女人的行为。结果表明,与IPV频率的一致性(从不存在到强)相比,IPV发生的伙伴关系共识(从差到非常好)趋于更高,并且在指标之间更加一致。这项研究强调了在法庭相关环境中收集双方报告的必要性。
