AB Intimate partner violence is a multidimensional phenomenon encompassing psychological,physical, and sexual components. Violence in young couples is common in our society. This kindof violence is usually bidirectional, which adds to its complexity. This study aimed to explore howvictimization (in three dimensions: non-abuse, technical mistreatment, and mistreatment) and perpetration(in two dimensions: non-perpetrator and perpetrator) are related to the BIS (BehavioralInhibition System)/BAS (Behavioral Approach System), and it also evaluated if the dimensions ofemotional intelligence (EI) (emotional attention, clarity, and regulation) mediate this relationship.Violence was evaluated in 272 young volunteer participants, as well as BIS/BAS behavioral sensitivityand perceived emotional intelligence. The correlations between these variables were analyzed, anda mediation analysis was also conducted. The results show that victimization (of the sexual andcoercive type) was associated with less BAS activation, while victimization (of the sexual, humiliation,and detachment types) was associated with less BIS activity. All types of victimization wereassociated with less EI, specifically with less emotional clarity. Aggression (of the sexual, humiliation,detachment, and coercion types) was related to lower BAS and higher BIS sensitivity. Detachmentaggression was associated with low emotional clarity. In conclusion, relationships between victimizationand perpetration are evidenced in terms of BIS/BAS sensitivity and EI. Specifically, thedimension of EI emotional clarity acts as a mediator of BIS activation in victims of detachment.
