Violence Against Women

چکیده
This study is among the first attempts to address a frequently articulated, yet unsubstantiated claim that sample inclusion criteria based on women’s physical aggression or victimization will yield different distributions of severity and type of partner violence and injury. Independent samples of African American women participated in separate studies based on either inclusion criterion of women’s physical aggression or victimization. Between-groups comparisons showed that samples did not differ in physical, sexual, or psychological aggression; physical, sexual, or psychological victimization; inflicted or sustained injury. Therefore, inclusion criterion based on physical aggression or victimization did not yield unique samples of “aggressors” and “victims.” 1Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 2University of Illinois at Chicago 3Trinity College, Hartford, CT 4University of South Carolina, Columbia 5University of Cincinnati, OH Corresponding Author: Tami P.
