Domestic violence, often referred to as intimate partner violence (IPV), is a pervasive problem and often includes physical, psychological, verbal and sexual abuse. These types of violent acts are generally seen with men as the perpetrators and women as victims. In recent years, studies have revealed that minority women, African-American women in particular, fall victim to all types of IPV at rates higher than Caucasian females. While research shows a large percentage of minority women as victims of IPV, there is not a great deal of information on how IPV begins and impacts the lives of African-American women. Studies have primarily focused on the many factors that put a woman at risk for becoming victimized. As no protective factors for IPV have been identified, it has been found that sports participation can be very beneficial to women (Berry & Howe, 2000; Brown & Blanton, 2002; Carlson, McNutt, Choi, & Rose, 2002; Fields, 2000; Kuga & Douctre, 1994; Lamb, 1999; Powers, 2000; Taub and Blinde, 1992). As the literature lists many qualities about sports participation, none have looked for a link between IPV and sports participation. The current study originally proposed that there would be a difference between occurrences of IPV-related instances in African-American women's lives depending upon sports participation, based on the data that shows that the act of playing a sport can increase the self-efficacy and/or self-esteem of young girls and women. These pieces of literature led this researcher to search to see if the beneficial factors of sports participation would also protect against IPV in the romantic relationships of African-American women. The current study surveyed 30 African-American female participants over the age of 18. The results of this study, in fact, failed to reject the null hypothesis that there is no difference between IPV-related instances experienced by the women in this sample, regardless of sports participation.
