这项系统评价和荟萃分析估计了马基雅维利主义与亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)行为之间关系的大小。Further,我们探索了这种关系的强度是否根据IPV类型而变化(即,物理,心理,性,和网络),和犯罪者的性别。MedlineComplete的系统搜索,PsycInfo,Scopus,和WebofScience数据库于2023年7月4日进行。如果研究是经过同行评审的已发表论文或未发表的论文,在英语中,包括马基雅维利主义和IPV渗透的措施,并报告了这些变量之间的关系。使用AXIS工具评估研究质量。19项研究(N=9,464)被纳入随机效应荟萃分析,弱,马基雅维利主义与IPV感染呈正相关(r=.16,95%CI[0.11,0.21],p<.001)。马基雅维利主义有一个重要的,弱,与网络呈正相关(r=.25,95%CI[0.17,0.32],p<.001),心理(r=.20,95%CI[0.15,0.24],p<.001),和性IPV(r=.10,95%CI[0.02,0.19],p=.020)。没有发现物理IPV的显著关系。男女之间的关系强度没有显著差异。这些发现受到自我报告措施的限制,不同研究的异质性,以及纳入研究的横断面性质限制了对因果途径的理解。尽管如此,这项荟萃分析显示了马基雅维利主义和IPV渗透之间的联系,未来的研究应该研究如何利用这些知识来减少IPV的传播。
This systematic review and meta-analysis estimated the size of the relationship between
Machiavellianism and intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration. Further, we explored whether the strength of this relationship varied depending on IPV type (i.e., physical, psychological, sexual, and cyber), and perpetrator gender. Systematic searches of Medline Complete, PsycInfo, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were conducted on July 4, 2023. Studies were included if they were a peer-reviewed published paper or unpublished dissertation, in English, included a measure of
Machiavellianism and IPV perpetration, and reported the relationship between these variables. Study quality was assessed using the AXIS tool. Nineteen studies (N = 9,464) were included in a random-effects meta-analysis revealing a significant, weak, positive correlation between
Machiavellianism and IPV perpetration (r = .16, 95% CI [0.11, 0.21], p < .001).
Machiavellianism had a significant, weak, positive relationship with cyber (r = .25, 95% CI [0.17, 0.32], p < .001), psychological (r = .20, 95% CI [0.15, 0.24], p < .001), and sexual IPV (r = .10, 95% CI [0.02, 0.19], p = .020). No significant relationship was found for physical IPV. There was no significant difference in the strength of the relationship between women and men. These findings are limited by the measures being self-report, heterogeneity across studies, and the cross-sectional nature of the included studies which limits the understanding of causal pathways. Nonetheless, this meta-analysis shows a link between
Machiavellianism and IPV perpetration, and future research should examine how this knowledge may be used to reduce IPV perpetration.
