摘要

Intimate partner aggression (IPA) is a prevalent concern with negative consequences. Because stress tends to increase IPA, understanding what resources might lower conflictual partners’ stress has the potential to reduce IPA risk. In the current exploratory study, 152 partnered individuals with a history of IPA reported on the types of resources they would find useful for decreasing their current stress. Findings highlight financial resources as a promising stress relief target, followed by social supports, as well as accessible mental health services among women and accessible physical health services among men. Supporting vulnerability-stress models, a desire for social supports was higher among men with individual vulnerabilities such as lower income and higher stress, and a desire for relationship solutions was higher among men and women with relationship vulnerabilities, such as lower satisfaction and higher IPA. These findings can inform future research and practice aimed at helping to improve conflictual partners’ relationships.
