Abstract
The ideal standards model suggests that individuals possess ideal standards to evaluate their potential partners. Discrepancies between ideal standards and actual partner characteristics may negatively impact relationship quality, as does IPV. We found IPV had an indirect effect on relationship quality through discrepancies among 615 low income community women.
