Latent classes of adult IPV consisted of a no violence (20.3 percent), a psychological violence only (46.2 percent), a psychological and sexual violence (9.2 percent), a multitype violence and intimidation (6.8 percent), and a psychological and physical violence with low intimidation class (17.5 percent). Physical-emotional child abuse and domestic violence exposure predicted a higher likelihood of multitype violence for males. Sexual abuse predicted a higher likelihood of this same class for females. Implications for future research and prevention are discussed.
