N2  - Recent attention has been given by researchers to exploring economic abuse strategies used by abusers. However, little research has been conducted to understanding  how  to  conceptualize  economic  abuse  in  relation  to  other  forms of abuse. This article examines the factor structure of abusive items from the Scale of Economic Abuse–12 and the Abusive Behavior Inventory through confirmatory factor analyses using data collected with 457 female survivors  of  abuse.  The  findings  provide  evidence  for  conceptualizing  economic  abuse  as  a  unique  form  of  abuse  moderately  correlated  with  psychological, physical, and sexual forms of abuse.
