The goal of the current study is to test - among samples of men - some previous findings relative to Johnson's (2008) typology of partner violence (PV). Among samples of exclusively women, Johnson has found that the frequency and severity of PV - and victims' mental health - are worse for female victims of intimate terrorism (IT) than of situational couple violence (SCV). However, such findings have rarely been tested in male victims of PV. Furthermore, although Johnson posits that mutual violent control (MVC) is relatively rare, other research suggests that it is about as common as IT and may be associated with worse PV and health. We examined the relative frequency and severity of various forms of PV, and the relative health and mental health between men who (a) experienced IT versus SCV, and (b) experienced IT versus MVC. Our two samples were 611 men who sought help for PV victimization and 1,601 men from a population-based sample. Our analyses showed that across samples, men who were victims of IT had significantly worse mental health than men who experienced SCV, and IT victims experienced more severe and frequent PV, including physical, sexual, and non-physical forms of PV. Male victims of IT had worse mental and physical health than either men who perpetrated IT or experienced MVC, but men involved in MVC were involved in relationships with more types of PV than either male IT perpetrators or victims. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for Johnson's typology, future research, and service providers.

亲密恐怖主义、情景夫妻暴力和相互暴力控制对男性受害者的影响。

当前研究的目的是在男性样本中测试之前与 Johnson（2008）伴侣暴力（PV）类型相关的一些发现。约翰逊发现，在全部女性样本中，亲密恐怖主义 (IT) 的女性受害者遭受家庭暴力的频率和严重程度，以及受害者的心理健康状况，比情境性夫妻暴力 (SCV) 的女性受害者更差。然而，此类发现很少在男性真性红斑狼疮受害者中进行过测试。此外，尽管约翰逊认为相互暴力控制 (MVC) 相对罕见，但其他研究表明，它与 IT 一样常见，并且可能与较差的 PV 和健康状况有关。我们检查了各种形式 PV 的相对频率和严重程度，以及 (a) 经历过 IT 与 SCV 和 (b) 经历过 IT 与 MVC 的男性之间的相对健康和心理健康状况。我们的两个样本包括 611 名因 PV 受害而寻求帮助的男性，以及来自人口样本的 1,601 名男性。我们的分析表明，在样本中，IT 受害者的心理健康状况明显比经历过 SCV 的男性差，而且 IT 受害者经历了更严重和更频繁的 PV，包括身体、性和非身体形式的 PV。IT 的男性受害者的心理和身体健康状况比 IT 实施者或经历过 MVC 的男性更差，但参与 MVC 的男性比男性 IT 实施者或受害者有更多类型的 PV 关系。我们讨论了结果对约翰逊类型学、未来研究和服务提供者的影响。
