Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) among young adults. ACEs refers to negative and potentially traumatic events in childhood, including abuse, neglect, and family dysfunction, which may shape emotional development and influence interpersonal relationships later in life. Meanwhile, IPV encompasses physical, psychological, and sexual violence, as well as controlling behaviours occurring within intimate relationships. This research employed a quantitative correlational design using purposive sampling, involving 318 young adult respondents. Data were collected using the ACEs questionnaire and the Conflict Tactics Scale 2 (CTS2). The data analysis consisted of normality testing, linearity testing, Spearman correlation analysis, and nonparametric difference tests using the Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests due to the non-normal distribution of data. The results indicate a positive and significant relationship between ACEs and IPV (ρ = 0.366; p < 0.001), suggesting that higher levels of childhood trauma are associated with a greater likelihood of experiencing intimate partner violence. Additionally, most respondents fell into the moderate categories of both ACEs (73.6%) and IPV (53.8%). These findings highlight the long-term impact of childhood adversity on romantic relationships and underscore the importance of trauma-informed prevention efforts.
