This article focuses on the character of adolescent and young adult relationships and argues that attention to interpersonal features of intimate partner violence (IPV) is necessary for a comprehensive view of this form of violence.
Abstract
Drawing on ideas from feminist post-structural perspectives, the article highlights studies that have developed 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.
