“…In the first block, we entered the variables that we thought might also be related to our outcome variables. For instance, because we anticipated that some of our outcome variables would be strongly predicted from being a perpetrator, as well as being a victim (e.g., problems with alcohol), and because the previous research has demonstrated a strong correlation between perpetration and victimization of violence (e.g., Baker & Stith, 2008), we chose to control for the effects of perpetration on our outcome variables by including perpetration of physical violence in the first block. We also anticipated that some outcome variables (e.g., self-esteem) might be impacted by being a victim of psychological abuse, and so, we entered psychological victimization into the first block as well.…”

This study examined gender differences in impacts of dating violence (specifically minor and severe physical injury, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], problems with alcohol, self-esteem, and relationship satisfaction) using a sample of 305 male and 363 female undergraduate students. Multiple linear regression models were used to test for the effects of dating violence victimization on the eight outcome variables while controlling for the effects of perpetration and psychological victimization. Results indicated that physical violence victimization did not impact problems with alcohol, self-esteem, or relationship satisfaction for either males or females. However, being a victim of minor violence significantly increased the levels of depression, anxiety, and PTSD and being a victim of severe violence significantly increased minor and severe injury. Different gender effects were seen in anxiety and PTSD scores where male victims scored higher than male nonvictims, but female victims did not differ significantly from female nonvictims and in minor and severe injury where both male and female victims scored higher than nonvictims, but the difference between the two groups was greater for men on the severe injury subscale and greater for women on the minor injury subscale. Overall, results of our analyses indicate that both male and female victims of dating violence experience physical and mental health consequences and, on the whole, do not support previous findings that would suggest that female victims suffer a greater impact than male victims do.

“…A growing body of research has documented the negative effects of discrepant drinking patterns on marital satisfaction Leonard, 2005, 2007), but low satisfaction does not necessarily lead to IPV (Baker and Stith, 2008;Testa et al, 2011). Given the association between low relationship satisfaction and relationship dissolution (Karney and Bradbury, 1995), couples in which drinking discrepancy was most problematic may not have been included, given that this was a sample of intact couples.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Men's heavy drinking has been established as a risk factor for their perpetration of intimate partner violence (IPV); however, the role of women's drinking in their perpetration of IPV is less clear. The current study examined the relative strength of husbands' and wives' alcohol use and alcohol dependence symptoms on the occurrence and frequency of husbands' and wives' IPV perpetration. Method: Married and cohabiting community couples (N = 280) were identifi ed and recruited according to their classifi cation in one of four drinking groups: heavy episodic drinking occurred in both partners (n = 79), the husband only (n = 80), the wife only (n = 41), and neither (n = 80). Husband and wife alcohol consumption, alcohol dependence symptoms, and IPV perpetration were assessed independently for both partners. Results:Husband and wife consumption and alcohol dependence symptoms contributed to the likelihood and frequency of husband IPV, both independently and interactively. Husband, but not wife, alcohol dependence symptoms contributed to the occurrence of any wife IPV, although both partners' alcohol dependence symptoms predicted the frequency of wife aggression. Couples with discrepant drinking were not more likely to perpetrate IPV. Conclusions: Findings for husband IPV support previous research identifying alcohol use of both partners as a predictor. However, for wives, alcohol appears to play less of a role in IPV perpetration, perhaps refl ecting that women experience less inhibition against physical aggression in their intimate relationships than do men.

“…Psychological aggression is associated with increased health symptoms for victims (Próspero, 2007;Simonelli & Ingram, 1998) and is one of the best predictors of physical aggression perpetration (Baker & Stith, 2008;Murphy & O'Leary, 1989;Stuart et al, 2006aStuart et al, , 2008. Therefore, it is imperative that factors that increase the chances for psychological aggression to occur be identified because these could become the targets of intervention efforts aimed at ameliorating aggression.…”

Psychological aggression is a devastating and prevalent problem in college dating relationships. In fact, most students in dating relationships experience psychological aggression each year. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of research on proximal risk factors for psychological aggression among females specifically. Knowing the conditions under which psychological aggression is most likely to occur will aid researchers and clinicians in developing and implementing more effective prevention programs. The current study descriptively examined proximal factors to psychological aggression perpetration among female undergraduate students (N 5 97). Findings showed that most psychological aggression occurred during the period from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., while participants were alone with their partners, and on the weekend. Participants reported a diverse number of motivations for perpetrating psychological aggression, with a lack of emotion regulation being an especially prominent motivation. Implications of these findings for future research and prevention programming are discussed.
