APA Write-Up Example
Pearson Correlations were conducted to see the relationship among different types of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization.
All correlations were statistically significant, revealing strong positive relationships between three different types of IPV. The strongest relationships were between psychological IPV victimization and physical IPV victimization (r = .551) and sexual IPV victimization (r = .495).
Sexual IPV victimization was also significantly associated with physical IPV victimization (r = .492). The results indicate that when victims experience one type of IPV, they experience other types of IPV at the same time.
