Purpose

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a widespread issue that affects many individuals and their families, and one particular type of IPV, sexual IPV (using force/coercion toward a partner surrounding sexual activities without their consent), warrants further attention. The current meta-analysis sought to examine aspects of power and control (i.e., economic abuse, emotional IPV, physical IPV) and attitudes towards violence as correlates of sexual IPV perpetration and victimization for both men and women to help inform education and prevention efforts. Methods: Using database searches and Boolean search terms, 164 studies met inclusion criteria. Results: For samples of men and women, the strongest correlate of sexual IPV victimization was sexual IPV perpetration, highlighting a bidirectional nature of this specific type of IPV. Many studies examined male perpetration and female victimization of sexual IPV. For women, the strongest correlate of sexual IPV victimization were economic IPV victimization, strangulation victimization, and homicide victimization. For men, the strongest correlate of sexual IPV perpetration were sexual IPV victimization, stalking perpetration, and previously causing injury to their partner. Physical IPV victimization and emotional IPV victimization were significantly stronger correlates of sexual IPV victimization for women compared to men. Conclusion: The results from this study synthesize research examining sexual IPV correlates from the past 22 years, highlighting the dangerousness of sexual IPV, gender differences, and the need for further intervention and prevention efforts.
