abstract="The present study examines the assumption of measurement invariance across sex from two instruments of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration. Data were used from two studies of self-reported IPV perpetration among adult college students. Study 1 employs a subset of the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2) for 901 young adult females and males. Study 2 employs a subset of the Safe Dates scale for 599 young adult females and males. Multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis was estimated in a forward, sequential process to test measurement invariance of IPV perpetration across sex. Both studies indicated multiple items violated the assumption of measurement invariance across sex for the latent IPV perpetration constructs. <br><br>FINDINGS revealed the IPV perpetration scales suffered from sex-bias for certain IPV behavior items. Future research should explore sources of variance in IPV perpetration scales and their impact on key correlates.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
