【 摘 要 】

This mixed-method study aims to elucidate the relevance of gender in women’s intimate partnerviolence through an ecologically-informed analysis of individual differences in attachment andpersonality and social contexts. Findings suggest that the Conflict Tactics Scales led to inflatedestimates of women’s violence through the misidentification of play as violence and through thecategorization of a range of behaviors, called mock-violence, that fall along a continuum fromplayful to short of meaningfully violent. Study findings also support the position that genderfundamentally shapes the contexts, meanings, and interpretations of women’s aggressivebehaviors and is thus central to any analysis of intimate partner violence. Together, thesefindings lend support to arguments for re-visiting fundamental issues of problem definition andmeasurement.
