TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Intimate partner violence in Turkey: the Turkish Intimate Partner Violence Attitude Scale-Revised JO - Journal of family violence A1 - Demirtaş, Ezgi Toplu A1 - Hatipoğlu-Sümer, Zeynep A1 - Fincham, Frank D. SP - 349 EP - 356 VL - 32 IS - 3 N2 - This study documents psychometrics of the Turkish version of Intimate Partner Violence Attitude Scale-Revised (IPVAS-R; Fincham et al. in Psychological Assessment, 20, 260-269, 2008). Dating college students (n=280) from four universities completed Turkish versions of the IPVAS-R, Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Abuse, Physical Assault of Conflict Tactics Scale - Revised, and Ambivalent Sexism Inventory. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the three factor structure of the IPVAS-R, albeit with an item change from the Abuse to the Control factor, due to the cultural nuances. This factor structure was cross validated with a second independent sample of 205 dating college students. Convergent validity and satisfactory internal consistency were also reported. The IPVAS-R was found to be a psychometrically sound measure to gauge attitudes toward psychological and physical dating aggression among college students outside of North America.
