Intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration increases throughout young adulthood and is particularly widespread among college students, resulting in mental health and academic consequences. Deficits in emotion regulation (ER) are an important factor associated with IPV perpetration; the developmental tasks and challenges associated with college, including relationship stressors and hazardous alcohol use, implicate ER as a particularly relevant risk factor for IPV perpetration. Thus, college presents an important opportunity for intervention in order to change the trajectories of IPV perpetration across young adulthood. The purpose of this review was to synthesize findings regarding ER and psychological, physical, and sexual IPV perpetration among college students. Twenty-one articles met inclusion criteria. Studies were organized into five categories: (a) direct associations of ER with IPV perpetration, (b) qualitative assessment of ER and IPV, (c) ER in indirect effects models, (d) ER in moderation models, and (e) experiments with ER instructional sets. Overall, ER emerged as an important inhibiting factor for IPV perpetration, particularly impulse control and access to ER strategies. ER deficits in the context of impelling (e.g., negative affect, trauma history) and instigating (e.g., provocation) factors emerged as consistent predictors of psychological and physical IPV perpetration for both male and female students. Deficits in ER were associated with sexual IPV perpetration among men; however, very few studies examined sexual IPV. Experimental paradigms suggest cognitive reappraisal may reduce IPV perpetration, while suppression may, in some contexts, increase perpetration. Methodological strengths and weaknesses and implications for IPV prevention and interventions programming for college students are discussed.

亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 犯罪在成年早期不断增加，在大学生中尤为普遍，导致心理健康和学业后果。情绪调节 (ER) 缺陷是与 IPV 犯罪相关的一个重要因素；与大学相关的发展任务和挑战，包括人际关系压力源和有害酒精使用，暗示 ER 是 IPV 犯罪的一个特别相关的风险因素。因此，大学提供了一个重要的干预机会，以改变青年时期 IPV 犯罪的轨迹。本综述的目的是综合有关大学生 ER 以及心理、身体和性 IPV 犯罪的调查结果。二十一篇文章符合纳入标准。研究分为五类：(a) ER 与 IPV 实施的直接关联，(b) ER 和 IPV 的定性评估，(c) 间接效应模型中的 ER，(d) 适度模型中的 ER，以及 (e) 实验与 ER 教学集。总体而言，ER 成为 IPV 实施的重要抑制因素，尤其是冲动控制和 ER 策略的获取。在推动（例如，负面影响、创伤史）和煽动（例如，挑衅）因素的背景下，ER 缺陷成为男女学生心理和身体 IPV 犯罪的一致预测因素。ER 缺陷与男性 IPV 性犯罪有关；然而，很少有研究调查性 IPV。实验范式表明，认知重新评估可能会减少 IPV 犯罪，而抑制可能，在某些情况下，增加犯罪。讨论了针对大学生的 IPV 预防和干预计划的方法论优势和劣势以及影响。
