This change request is in response to
the terms of agreement for approval. Privacy Act information is
included. This is an exploratory study to gather data from a
diverse and targeted convenience sample to better understand
factors or groups of factors that may influence violence
perpetration that occurs within adult intimate partner
relationships. The study is the first component of a larger
research agenda that will and is intended to inform the next phase
identifying latent classes of intimate partner violence (IPV)
perpetrators. For this exploratory study, the focus is gathering
extensive data from the diverse convenience sample across multiple
domains (e.g., attitudes, perceptions, personal experiences,
victimization, etc.) identified by IPV experts and the peer
reviewed literature as correlating to IPV perpetration. The
information collected in this study is not intended to be
generalizable to the population. Rather, these data are intended to
inform future research with additional populations and more
rigorous sampling strategies.
