An important aspect of Johnson's intimate terrorism IT and situational couple violence SCV typology is his assertion that victims experience different negative outcomes depending on which category of violence they endure.

Abstract

An important aspect of Johnson's intimate terrorism IT and situational couple violence SCV typology is his assertion that victims experience different negative outcomes depending on which category of violence they endure. Anderson calls for reexamining this typology to highlight the importance of coercive control with or without physical violence present. Similar to most studies, Anderson's research uses a sample that includes mostly White women. The current study employs Anderson's methods and ordinary least squares OLS regression analyses, but uses a sample of predominately Black women and Latinas from the 1998 Chicago Women's Health Risk Study.
