Cognitive factors associated with intimate partner and sexual violence perpetration and victimisation: A systematic review of current research ☆

Resumo original em inglês

O que aconteceu

Cognitive factors are recognised as critical risk factors for violence within romantic relationships. In the current paper, we systematically reviewed and qualitatively synthesised findings from the 17 studies published in the last two years that have examined the association between cognitions and the perpetration and victimisation of intimate partner and sexual violence. We found that the literature on perpetration and victimisation diverged, with studies on perpetration being dominated by investigations into aggression-supportive and gender beliefs, whilst studies on victimisation tended to focus on beliefs relating to negative evaluations and beliefs about the self and others. Examining self-other beliefs in the context of perpetration could provide important insights into the cognitive factors underpinning violent behaviours against romantic partners.
