The purpose of this research is to identify sociodemographic factors related to psychological and physical intimate partner violence (IPV) across the first year of the pandemic in the United States. Using a novel data set of four waves of data collected over the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, a series of generalized linear mixed models were performed to determine sociodemographic explanatory factors of the relationship between psychological and physical IPV over time. Results indicate that education, gender, and children at home were statistically significant predictors of psychological IPV, while education, gender, children at home, and race were statistically significant predictors of physical IPV. Findings suggest that IPV prevalence rates during the COVID-19 pandemic are not static but dynamic over the course of an ongoing and unfolding collective crisis.
