Theoretical accounts of recidivistic intimate partner violence (IPV) continue to differ considerably in relation to the relative weight given to psychological risk factors. A systematic overview of studies that have established psychological predictors of reoffending is currently lacking. This study aimed to identify and provide an overview of studies examining various psychological factors associated with IPV perpetration patterns. A systematic search of research conducted from 1945 to 2024 was carried out on PsycINFO, PubMed, and PILOTS. The inclusion criteria were that studies must not use self-reported reoffending data only, must use a criminal justice sample, must be longitudinal, participants must be over 17 years of age, and that studies must be published in the English language and peer reviewed. A total of 25 longitudinal studies examining individual psychological factors, proposed as potential predictors of IPV reoffending, were eligible. The identified factors were grouped into five categories: personality, anger and hostility, beliefs, attitudes and motivation, neurocognitive deficits and trauma (i.e., family of origin abuse/post-traumatic stress disorder). The current systematic scoping review found that the most-researched psychological predictor of IPV recidivism was personality. While studies vary in relation to the personality traits or disorders that contribute most to the likelihood of reoffending, in general, personality assessment appears to be a promising tool in predicting reoffending. Anger, childhood maltreatment, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), implicit attitudes, and neurocognitive deficits were also identified as predictors of IPV recidivism. Methodological issues were found to be present across studies.

亲密伴侣暴力肇事者累犯的心理预测因子：系统范围综述


关于累犯性亲密伴侣暴力 （IPV） 的理论描述在心理风险因素的相对权重方面仍然存在很大差异。目前缺乏对已确定再犯罪心理预测因子的研究的系统概述。本研究旨在确定并提供检查与 IPV 犯罪模式相关的各种心理因素的研究。对 1945 年至 2024 年在 PsycINFO、PubMed 和 PILOTS 上进行的研究进行了系统检索。纳入标准是研究不得仅使用自我报告的再犯罪数据，必须使用刑事司法样本，必须是纵向的，参与者必须年满 17 岁，并且研究必须以英语发表并经过同行评审。共有 25 项纵向研究检查了个体心理因素，这些因素被认为是 IPV 再犯罪的潜在预测因素，符合条件。确定的因素分为五类：性格、愤怒和敌意、信念、态度和动机、神经认知缺陷和创伤 （即原生家庭虐待/创伤后应激障碍）。目前的系统范围综述发现，IPV 累犯研究最多的心理预测因素是性格。虽然研究与导致再犯罪可能性最大的人格特质或障碍有关，但总的来说，人格评估似乎是预测再犯罪的一种有前途的工具。愤怒、童年虐待、创伤后应激障碍 （PTSD）、内隐态度和神经认知缺陷也被确定为 IPV 累犯的预测因素。研究发现存在方法学问题。
