Objective Sexual minorities assigned female at birth are at increased risk for experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) compared to heterosexual individuals, and bisexual individuals assigned female at birth appear to be at greatest risk. However, few studies have examined potential explanatory factors. Partner jealousy may contribute to bisexual individuals' increased risk for experiencing IPV, given stereotypes that they are promiscuous and evidence that people anticipate being jealous of a bisexual partner. Methods This study examined the role of perceived partner jealousy in cross-sectional associations between self-reported dimensions of sexual orientation (identity, attractions, behavior) and IPV victimization among 368 young sexual minorities assigned female at birth (77.4% cisgender women). Results Sexual behavior was associated with IPV, but sexual identity and attractions were not. Those with both male and female sexual partners in their lifetime were at increased risk for many forms of IPV compared to those with only male partners and those who never had sex, and these associations were partially explained by their higher perceived partner jealousy. Those with male and female partners were only at increased risk for two types of IPV compared to those with only female partners and these differences were not explained by perceived partner jealousy. Conclusions Jealousy may contribute to behaviorally bisexual individuals' increased risk for many forms of IPV compared to those with only male partners or never had sex. This highlights the importance of considering multiple dimensions of sexual orientation and has implications for the development of interventions to reduce IPV in this population.

性取向的维度和刚出生时分配给女性的年轻性少数群体中亲密伴侣的暴力发生率：伴侣嫉妒的作用。

目的与异性恋者相比，在出生时分配给女性的性少数群体遭受亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的风险更高，而在出生时分配给女性的双性恋个体似乎是最大的风险。但是，很少有研究检查潜在的解释因素。伴侣的嫉妒可能会导致双性恋个体患IPV的风险增加，这是因为他们定型为滥交，并有证据表明人们预计会嫉妒双性伴侣。方法：本研究调查了在368名分配为女性的年轻性少数群体中，自我报告的性取向维度（身份，吸引力，行为）和IPV受害之间的横断面关联中，知觉伴侣嫉妒的作用（77.4％的顺性别女性）。结果性行为与IPV相关，但性身份和吸引力与性别无关。与只有男性伴侣和从未发生过性行为的男性相比，具有男性和女性性伴侣的女性一生中罹患多种形式IPV的风险更高，而这些关联在一定程度上是因为他们对伴侣的嫉妒感较高。与只有女性伴侣的男性和女性伴侣相比，只有两种类型的IPV患病风险更高，而这些差异并不能通过伴侣的嫉妒来解释。结论与只有男性伴侣或从未发生过性行为的人相比，嫉妒可能导致行为双性恋者增加多种形式IPV的风险。
