摘要

Purpose

Theory and case histories implicate other-oriented perfectionism (OOP; demanding perfectionism of others) in physical intimate partner violence (Physical IPV; physical violence between romantic partners). Yet, empirical evidence is scarce. Our brief report addresses this gap by testing OOP’s association with physical IPV.

Methods

Using actor-partner interdependence models (APIMs) and multivariate logistic regression, we analyzed data from 229 mixed-gender couples (Mage = 40.0; SD = 6.01) over two waves spaced several months apart during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each member of the couple completed measures of other-oriented perfectionism (Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale) and agreeableness (Ten-Item Personality Inventory) at baseline and physical IPV perpetration and victimization (Revised Conflict Tactics Scale short-form) at baseline and follow-up.

Results

Controlling baseline physical IPV, men’s baseline OOP predicted an increased likelihood of their women partners’ physical IPV victimization over time. Men’s baseline OOP also predicted an increased likelihood of their women partners’ perpetrating physical IPV, possibly representing retaliation against received abuse. Men’s baseline OOP did not predict an increase in the likelihood of men’s self-reports of physical IPV perpetration, possibly due to social desirability effects. Women’s baseline OOP did not predict any physical IPV variables. Findings held when controlling for agreeableness.

Conclusion

Our study sheds light on the role of OOP in physical IPV, supporting the theoretical accounts of OOP and domestic violence by men. Results suggest that OOP in men might be an important factor to screen for when assessing couples’ risk of physical IPV.
