“…Psychological patterns of controlling, threatening, and isolating behaviors often precede and co-occur with physical IPV (Coker et al, 2002;Follingstad et al, 1991;Herbert et al, 1991). These psychologically abusive behaviors are also often aimed at reinforcing male psychological dominance in general, and more specifically, exerting power and control over all aspects of the sexual relationship (Walker, 1979).…”

This study, based on data from a random sample of 322 men on methadone, examines whether traditional male gender role beliefs, male substance use, and couple drug-involvement lead to male psychological dominance, which in turn leads to perpetration of intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual HIV risk behavior. Structural equation modeling indicated that male psychological dominance is directly associated with perpetrating both physical IPV and sexual HIV risk; however, physical IPV did not lead to sexual HIV risk as predicted originally. Stronger endorsement of traditional male gender role beliefs was associated with male psychological dominance. Couple drug-involvement was also directly associated with male psychological dominance as well as sexual HIV risk. Male substance use led to couple drug-involvement, but not to physical or sexual HIV risk as hypothesized. Study findings highlight the significance of couple drug-involvement and male psychological dominance as pathways leading to physical IPV and sexual HIV risk behavior. Implications for HIV prevention efforts targeting drug-involved men and their sexual partners are discussed.

“…Khan et aL (1993) found that psychological abuse was more closely associated with psychological disturbance (as measured by the Minnesota MUltiphasic Personality Inventory-2) than was a history of physical abuse, and in several investigations abused women attested to the greater impact of psychological abuse over physical abuse (FoUingstad et at, 1990;Herbert et at, 1991;Walker, 1984). In this study, differences between abused and control groups on psychological variables were examined while statistically controlling for frequency of verbal abuse experienced.…”

“…Different patterns of verbal aggression (Gondolf and Fisher, 1988), one type of psychological abuse, and interaction (Christensen, 1987;Margolin et al, 1988) suggest different patterns of psychological abuse. Second, psychological abuse may have a stronger impact than violence (Follingstad et aL, 1990;Herbert et aL, 1991;Stets, 1990). Third, psychological abuse may precede violence (Hilberman andMunson, 1977-1978;Star, 1982, Stets, 1990 and, therefore, be predictive of a violent incident (FoUingstad, Laughlin et al, 1991).…”
