Intimate partner violence (IPV) understanding varies by diverse groups. Key concepts like external influences and manipulation are crucial but often overlooked in IPV measures.
Area of Science:
- Sociology
- Psychology
- Public Health
Background:
- Explores intimate partner violence (IPV) conceptualization in diverse Toronto subpopulations.

Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate how men and women from various backgrounds conceptualize intimate partner violence (IPV).
- To identify key behaviors and attitudes defining IPV across diverse populations.
Main Methods:
- Employed concept mapping methodology with 67 participants.
- Participants identified and grouped concepts (domains) representing their understanding of IPV.
- Assessed the relative importance of each concept and domain in contributing to IPV.
Main Results:
- Domains such as 'External and Cultural Influences,' 'Victim Response to Abuse,' and 'Social and Emotional Manipulation' were identified as significant contributors to IPV.
- These crucial conceptual domains are frequently omitted from existing IPV measurement tools.
Conclusions:
