ABSTRACT
The present study examines the assumption of measurement invariance across sex from two instruments of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration. Data were used from two studies of self-reported IPV perpetration among adult college students. Study 1 employs a subset of the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2) for 901 young adult females and males. Study 2 employs a subset of the Safe Dates scale for 599 young adult females and males. Multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis was estimated in a forward, sequential process to test measurement invariance of IPV perpetration across sex. Both studies indicated multiple items violated the assumption of measurement invariance across sex for the latent IPV perpetration constructs. Findings revealed the IPV perpetration scales suffered from sex-bias for certain IPV behavior items. Future research should explore sources of variance in IPV perpetration scales and their impact on key correlates.

亲密伴侣暴力犯罪中跨性别测量不变性的探索
摘要
本研究从两种亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 犯罪工具中检验了跨性别测量不变性的假设。数据来自两项关于成人大学生自我报告的 IPV 实施的研究。研究 1 对 901 名年轻成年女性和男性使用了修订后的冲突战术量表 (CTS2) 的一个子集。研究 2 对 599 名年轻成年女性和男性使用了安全约会量表的一个子集。多组验证性因素分析在前向、顺序过程中进行估计,以测试跨性别 IPV 实施的测量不变性。两项研究都表明,对于潜在的 IPV 犯罪结构,多个项目违反了跨性别测量不变性的假设。调查结果显示,IPV 犯罪量表对某些 IPV 行为项目存在性别偏见。
