Notes:	This article reviews published studies of gender symmetry in intimate partner violence (IPV). Two meta-analytic and 13 empirical studies were examined. The author concluded that IPV rates may be similar among men and women if context, motivation and consequences are not considered. However, when considering severity, motives, and impacts of IPV, findings indicate that men more often initiate and perpetrate more severe IPV. The article also examines under-reporting and measurement issues.
