Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. Men are the primary perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), regardless of their sexual orientation. 2. Women experiencing intimate terrorism relied more heavily on formal support systems (e.g., hospitals, law enforcement) whereas women experiencing situational couple violence relied on help from friends. This demonstrates that a contextual approach is important in understanding the nature of the stressor event. 3. Victims of IVP employ placating strategies to manage their lives. These strategies are not helpful in the long run. 4. Discrimination adds a layer of complexity and stress to IPV in same sex relationships.
