The Intimate Partner Violence Strategies Index Development and Application
TLDR
The development of an instrument to measure the nature and extent of battered women’s strategic responses to violence across specific domains of strategies is described, the Intimate Partner Violence Strategies Index, in the context of a longitudinal study of battered girls’ experience over time.Abstract:
Although research has documented the myriad ways that victims of IPV struggle to keep themselves safe, little research has gone the next step to investigate patterns in women’s use of strategies, the factors that influence choice of strategies, or which strategies are most effective. One obstacle to conducting such research is the absence of an instrument to measure the nature and extent of battered women’s strategic responses to violence across specific domains of strategies. This article describes the development of such an instrument, the Intimate Partner Violence Strategies Index, in the context of a longitudinal study of battered women’s experience over time.read more
