The Abusive Behavior Inventory-Revised

Judy L Postmus et al. J Interpers Violence. 2016 Oct.

Abstract

Measuring experiences of intimate partner violence is critical for researchers and advocates. One measure, the Abusive Behavior Inventory (ABI), has limited testing but is used more frequently by advocates in domestic violence organizations. This article describes the psychometric evaluation of the ABI through confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses among data collected with 457 female survivors of abuse in seven states and Puerto Rico. The findings provide evidence for the reliability of a revised ABI (ABI-R) with three factors: physical violence, psychological abuse, and sexual abuse.

Keywords: abuse measurement; domestic violence; intimate partner violence (IPV).
