TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Male partner contraceptive interference: associations with destructive conflict and women's relational power JO - Violence against women A1 - Katz, Jennifer A1 - LaRose, Jillian SP - 1262 EP - 1278 VL - 25 IS - 10 N2 - We explored the relational context of male partner contraceptive interference (CI), acts that impede women's contraceptive use. Undergraduate women ( N = 213) who had previously been involved in a sexual relationship with a male partner provided self-report data on relational power and conflict within the relationship, including whether the past partner enacted CI. Relationships involving CI were characterized by greater conflict about whether to engage in sex, perceived infidelity, partner conflict engagement, and women's withdrawal. These quantitative data suggest that, in heterosexual dyads, women who experience partner CI also experience disempowerment and multiple forms of destructive sexual and verbal conflict.
