Note. 95% bias-corrected CIs were calculated on the basis of 5,000 bootstrap samples. All IPA variables are from combined reports from both members of the couple. Any differences in statistical significance with self-reported IPA use are noted in the table. Square-root transformed variety scores were used for physical IPA, and square-root transformed frequency scores were used for psychological IPA. All analyses are based on standardized variables.

Abbreviations: IPA, Intimate Partner Aggression; CI, Confidence Interval.
