We focus on the character of adolescent and young adult relationships, and argue that attention to interpersonal features of intimate partner violence (IPV) is necessary for a comprehensive view of this form of violence. Drawing on ideas from feminist post-structural perspectives, we highlight studies that develop a somewhat non-traditional but nevertheless gendered portrait of relationships as a backdrop for exploring dyadic processes associated with IPV. Findings are based on quantitative and qualitative analyses from a longitudinal study of a large, diverse sample of young women and men interviewed first during adolescence, and five additional times across the transition to adulthood.

我们关注青少年和年轻人关系的特征，并认为关注亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的人际特征对于全面了解这种形式的暴力是必要的。借鉴女权主义后结构视角的思想，我们重点介绍了一些研究，这些研究发展了一种有点非传统但仍然性别化的关系肖像，作为探索与 IPV 相关的二元过程的背景。研究结果基于对大量不同年轻女性和男性样本的纵向研究的定量和定性分析，这些样本在青春期首次接受采访，并在成年过渡期间另外进行了五次采访。
