Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health concern that affects millions of individuals each year. As such, research informing its prediction and prevention is paramount. Etiological models of IPV perpetration and empirical findings suggest that emotion regulation (ER) is associated with IPV perpetration. Further, research has suggested that depending on ER conceptualization, ER may predict either increased (e.g., risk factor) or decreased IPV perpetration (e.g., protective factor). Despite its documented association with IPV perpetration, and amenability to intervention, ER's aggregate association with IPV perpetration has not been evaluated. The present systematic review and meta-analysis analyzes ER's association with IPV perpetration. Two hundred and sixty-five effect sizes from 62 unique samples were included for analysis. Results suggested a small to moderate association between ER and IPV perpetration, the magnitude of which varied by ER construct, whether ER predicted increased or decreased IPV perpetration, and the type of IPV perpetration measured. The magnitude of association between ER and IPV perpetration did not vary by sample type or gender. Implications of these findings were reviewed in the context of meta-theoretical and clinically-focused models of IPV perpetration and suggestions for future research were explored.

亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 是一个重大的公共卫生问题，每年影响数百万人。因此，为其预测和预防提供信息的研究至关重要。IPV 犯罪的病因学模型和实证研究结果表明，情绪调节 (ER) 与 IPV 犯罪有关。此外，研究表明，根据 ER 概念化，ER 可以预测增加（例如，风险因素）或减少 IPV 实施（例如，保护因素）。尽管 ER 与 IPV 犯罪的记录相关且易于干预，但尚未评估 ER 与 IPV 犯罪的总体关联。本系统回顾和荟萃分析分析了 ER 与 IPV 实施的关联。来自 62 个独特样本的 265 个效应量被纳入分析。结果表明 ER 和 IPV 犯罪之间存在小到中度的关联，其程度因 ER 结构、ER 预测 IPV 犯罪增加或减少以及测量的 IPV 犯罪类型而异。ER 和 IPV 犯罪之间的关联程度不因样本类型或性别而异。在 IPV 实施的元理论和临床重点模型的背景下审查了这些发现的含义，并探讨了对未来研究的建议。ER 和 IPV 犯罪之间的关联程度不因样本类型或性别而异。在 IPV 实施的元理论和临床重点模型的背景下审查了这些发现的含义，并探讨了对未来研究的建议。ER 和 IPV 犯罪之间的关联程度不因样本类型或性别而异。在 IPV 实施的元理论和临床重点模型的背景下审查了这些发现的含义，并探讨了对未来研究的建议。
