520			_aThis journal article reports the findings of a study designed to examine similarities in male and female intimate partner violence (IPV) as well as comparing the attitudes of victims and perpetrators. The study involved three samples of the New Zealand population: 67 students (female = 36, male = 31), 66 general population (female = 36, male = 30), and incarcerated. The methodology involved the participants taking a variety of tests (Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (RCTS2), Personal Relationships Profile (PRP), Pacific Attitudes Toward Gender Scale (PATG), and Implicit Association Test (IAT)), which measured violent behaviour and negotiation techniques; personal characteristics and relationship qualities; gender role beliefs; male privilege and attitudes towards 'a man's right to use violence'; and lastly, assessment of implicit stereotypes and prejudices. The authors argue that the findings reveal that although the incarcerated sample experienced a higher frequency of violence, the nature of IPV was similar across the samples. They also argue that the findings showed gender symmetry in IPV with male and female IPV being similar in frequency, severity, and injury, but with some variation by gender in the type of physical abuse perpetrated. The authors found that victims and perpetrators reported similar attitudes and behaviours that differentiated them from participants with no history of physical violence. These included being more hostile, holding traditional gendered beliefs, and lacking communication and anger management skills. In light of their findings the authors recommend a rethinking of how IPV is viewed.
