Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a significant public health concern globally with substantial impact on the health of victims. Although research on IPV has increased substantially over the past several decades, effective evidence-based interventions to address IPV behaviors by men remain limited. The IPV field has lacked a comprehensive review of the status of research across the broad areas that have been found to be associated with use of IPV behaviors. This paper reviewed quantitative research studies of the genetic, neurocognitive, neuroendocrine, and selected environmental underpinnings of IPV behavior in men to develop a conceptual model. To date, environmental studies have been the most extensive with focus on early life adversity, trauma, attachment and substance misuse. Head injuries and neuropsychological impacts have indicated deficits in cognitive flexibility and executive functioning related to the prefrontal cortex are common in men who use IPV. Fewer studies have examined neuroendocrine or hormonal factors impacting IPV behavior but there is some evidence that cortisol and testosterone may play a role. Genetics factors have been the least explored, although there is emerging evidence of genetic heritability, and gene by environment interactions. A more comprehensive understanding of biological, psychological, and social factors will advance future IPV research and intervention.

亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 是全球重大的公共卫生问题，对受害者的健康产生重大影响。尽管过去几十年对 IPV 的研究大幅增加，但针对男性 IPV 行为的有效循证干预措施仍然有限。IPV 领域缺乏对已发现与使用 IPV 行为相关的广泛领域的研究状况的全面审查。本文回顾了对男性 IPV 行为的遗传、神经认知、神经内分泌和选定环境基础的定量研究，以开发一个概念模型。迄今为止，环境研究是最广泛的，重点关注早期生活的逆境、创伤、依恋和物质滥用。头部受伤和神经心理影响表明，与前额叶皮层相关的认知灵活性和执行功能缺陷在使用 IPV 的男性中很常见。很少有研究检查影响 IPV 行为的神经内分泌或激素因素，但有一些证据表明皮质醇和睾酮可能起作用。遗传因素的探索最少，尽管有新的证据表明遗传遗传性和基因与环境的相互作用。对生物、心理和社会因素的更全面了解将推动未来的 IPV 研究和干预。很少有研究检查影响 IPV 行为的神经内分泌或激素因素，但有一些证据表明皮质醇和睾酮可能起作用。遗传因素的探索最少，尽管有新的证据表明遗传遗传性和基因与环境的相互作用。对生物、心理和社会因素的更全面了解将推动未来的 IPV 研究和干预。很少有研究检查影响 IPV 行为的神经内分泌或激素因素，但有一些证据表明皮质醇和睾酮可能起作用。遗传因素的探索最少，尽管有新的证据表明遗传遗传性和基因与环境的相互作用。对生物、心理和社会因素的更全面了解将推动未来的 IPV 研究和干预。
