DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Relationship violence negatively affects well-being, and is costly for individuals, couples, children, and society. Research has been conducted on teen dating violence (TDV) and marital relationships, but little research has focused on early adulthood, the period in which intimate partner violence (IPV) increases exponentially in frequency and seriousness. IPV necessarily occurs within a relationship context, but knowledge of the dynamics of young adult violent relationships is especially limited. Our symbolic interactionist theory emphasizes respondents' perceptions of the meanings and impact of IPV, and the need to identify universal and uniquely gendered aspects of IPV as individual's transition from adolescence to adulthood. We build on a large, prospective longitudinal study of adolescent and young adults' intimate relationships (Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study-TARS). In addition to four waves of previously collected interview data (n=1,319), currently we have funding to conduct a fifth wave of interviews with the youngest cohort (about one-third of the existing sample), focusing on three forms of violent victimization and perpetration (physical violence, psychological abuse, and sexual coercion). We request funding to conduct interviews with the two older cohorts (ages 24 & 26 at interview) who are at the peak ages of IPV, and to conduct separate in-depth interviews with both partners of a subsample of respondents (50 couples, n=100) reporting experience with IPV. We will address the following specific aims: 1: To analyze the incidence, prevalence, and patterns of relationship abuse from adolescence to young adulthood. The longitudinal design (ages 13-26) permits assessments of the sociodemographic patterning and developmental progressions of IPV experience. We will explore early risk factors and contemporaneous circumstances associated with trajectories of perpetration and victimization. We will identify factors linked to IPV escalation and persistence, and determine the long term effects of IPV on behavioral and emotional health as well as adult union formation and stability. 2: To examine similarities and differences in the nature, qualities and dynamics within violent and non-violent relationships. We focus on the subjectively experienced dynamics of intimate relationships that we hypothesize amplify the risk of violence, and identify ways in which gender affects these subjective experiences. We include attention to positive features of intimate relationships which have not figured heavily into either research or prevention efforts, but may be critical to understanding relationship dynamics associated with heightened risk, as well as decisions to continue or leave a violent relationship. The TARS elicits information about multiple relationships at each wave, so we can examine within-individual changes across time and different relationships. 3: To identify situational contexts that amplify risk for violence. In most instances, relationship violence is not a routine event highlighting the need for research on situational factors that amplify risk. We will document the progression of abuse within relationships by assessing cognitive, emotional, behavioral and social factors that influence patterns of escalation and de-escalation. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Our analysis of social relationships and their influence across the period of adolescence into adulthood encompasses the NICHD goal of applying "a life course approach to research on health" and fits squarely in the mission of NICHD to investigate the health and well-being of individuals, families and populations. Relationship violence negatively influences physical health and emotional well being, and is costly for individuals, couples, children, and society. The study is also consistent with the 2007 Long Range Planning Report, which calls for research on the "the mechanisms through which social and economic realities shape individual health, especially among disadvantaged populations" with context as the key mechanism, including dyadic relationships.

描述（由申请人提供）：关系暴力对幸福感产生负面影响，对于个人，夫妻，儿童和社会而言是昂贵的。已经对青少年约会暴力（TDV）和婚姻关系进行了研究，但是很少的研究集中在成年初期，即亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）在频率和严重性上成倍增加的时期。 IPV必然发生在关系环境中，但是对年轻成人暴力关系的动态的了解尤其有限。我们的象征性互动主义理论强调了受访者对IPV含义和影响的看法，以及必须将IPV的普遍性和独特性别方面识别为个人从青春期到成年期的过渡。我们基于对青少年和年轻人亲密关系的大型，前瞻性的纵向研究（托莱多青少年关系研究-TARS）。除了四波先前收集的访谈数据（n = 1,319）之外，目前，我们还有资金与最年轻的队列（约占现有样本的三分之一）进行第五次访谈，重点是三种形式的暴力受害和犯罪（身体暴力，心理虐待，性虐待和性果断）。我们要求资金与IPV高峰时代的两个较旧的同伙（24岁和26岁）进行访谈，并与对IPV报告经验的受访者（50对夫妇，n = 100）的子样本（50对夫妇，n = 100）的两个合作伙伴进行单独的深入访谈。我们将解决以下具体目标：1：分析从青春期到年轻成年的发生率，流行率和关系模式。纵向设计（13-26岁）允许评估IPV体验的社会人口统计学图案和发展进展。我们将探讨与犯罪和受害轨迹相关的早期危险因素和同期情况。我们将确定与IPV升级和持久性相关的因素，并确定IPV对行为和情绪健康以及成人联盟形成和稳定性的长期影响。 2：检查暴力和非暴力关系中性质，质量和动态的相似性和差异。我们专注于主观经验丰富的亲密关系动态，我们假设我们扩大了暴力风险，并确定了性别影响这些主观经历的方式。我们将关注亲密关系的积极特征包括在研究或预防努力中，但对于理解与增加风险增加的关系动态以及决定继续或留下暴力关系的决定可能至关重要。 TARS在每个浪潮中引起有关多个关系的信息，因此我们可以在整个时间和不同的关系之间检查个体内部的变化。 3：确定情况，以扩大暴力风险。在大多数情况下，关系暴力并不是一个例行事件，强调对扩大风险的情况因素进行研究的需求。我们将通过评估影响升级和降低模式的认知，情感，行为和社会因素来记录关系中虐待的发展。 公共卫生相关性：我们对整个青春期成年时期社会关系及其影响的分析涵盖了NICHD的目标，即采用“健康研究方法来研究健康”，并完全适合NICHD调查个人，家庭和人群的健康和福祉。关系暴力对身体健康和情感健康产生负面影响，对个人，夫妻，儿童和社会来说都是昂贵的。这项研究还与2007年的远程计划报告一致，该报告要求研究“社会和经济现实塑造个人健康的机制，尤其是在处境不利的人群中”，其背景为关键机制，包括二元关系。
