“…Johnson added this category to his existing typology, along with "violent resistance," to allow the behavior of both partners to be included, moving from an individual to dyadic typology. This finding supports several studies that have demonstrated the damaging physical and psychological effects that men suffer when they are victims of an intimate terrorist partner (e.g., Hines & Saudino, 2003;Hines et al, 2007;Hines & Douglas, 2010).…”

“…Other studies indicate that control and controlling aggression are characteristic of both sexes (Dutton & Nicholls, 2005;Felson & Outlaw, 2007;Graham-Kevan, 2007;GrahamKevan & Archer, 2009). Furthermore, Hines (e.g., Hines & Saudino, 2003;Hines, Brown, & Dunning, 2007;Hines & Douglas, 2010) has described the severe physical and psychological effects that male victims of IPV suffer.…”

The aim of this study was to test predictions from the male control theory of intimate partner violence (IPV) and Johnson's [Johnson, M. P. (1995). Journal of Marriage and the Family, 57, 282-294] typology. A student sample (N ¼ 1,104) reported on their use of physical aggression and controlling behavior, to partners and to same-sex non-intimates. Contrary to the male control theory, women were found to be more physically aggressive to their partners than men were, and the reverse pattern was found for aggression to same-sex non-intimates. Furthermore, there were no substantial sex differences in controlling behavior, which significantly predicted physical aggression in both sexes. IPV was found to be associated with physical aggression to same-sex nonintimates, thereby demonstrating a link with aggression outside the family. Using Johnson's typology, women were more likely than men to be classed as "intimate terrorists," which was counter to earlier findings. Overall, these results do not support the male control theory of IPV. Instead, they fit the view that IPV does not have a special etiology, and is better studied within the context of other forms of aggression. Aggr. Behav. 40:42-55, 2014.

“…The Conflict Tactics Scale-Revised was employed by Hines and Saudino (2003) in their study which found that 86% of the women and 82% of the men informed perpetration of psychological aggression in their partner relations. The samples comprised of college students and based on the findings of their study, they defined psychological aggression as swearing, shouting and yelling at partner.…”

Several studies conducted on female aggression (physical and psychological) are the primary concern of the review done in this paper. This article contains three parts -the first part focuses on the findings which show that the rate of aggression for male and female are equal, while the second part focuses on the research that reveal the rate of physical aggression is higher in women than men. The third part concerns on studies which have shown higher level of psychological aggression in women compared to men. According to the existing literatures, the rate of female aggression is equal to those of men, and in some studies, the rates of physical and psychological aggression among women are found to be higher than among men. Thus, it is concluded that the rate of women aggression is not lower than men, but it is either equal to or higher than men.

“…Prior research has not found that the likelihood of reporting physical abuse is affected by the victim's gender (Hines & Saudino, 2003). Straus & Ramirez (2007) report that women were significantly more likely to be seriously injured than men in cases of intimate partner physical abuse.…”

“…More common is the presence of psychological abuse, with some studies reporting up to 80% of college aged couples experiencing this type of victimization (Avant, Swopes, Davis, & Elhai, 2011;Cercone, Beach, & Arias, 2005;Harned, 2001;Hines & Saudino, 2003). Although male and female college students report similar rates of physical and psychological abuse by a partner, female college students report sexual assault at higher rates than male college students.…”

Our research examines the possible association of sexual orientation and self-reported sexual harassment, sexual assault, intimate partner psychological abuse, and intimate partner physical abuse of college students from a northeastern university in the United States. Understanding the prevalence of these behaviors within this age group is important, as developing appropriate college policy to reduce these actions at this time may be beneficial for future prevention. This study also allows for one of the few true comparisons between those students who identified as sexual minority and non-sexual minority college students 1 . A total of 1881 college students were surveyed. Classes were randomly selected and surveys were administered to students in those classes. Gender specific models were also analyzed to examine if the relationship between sexual orientation and victimization differs for males and females. The results from the analyses support the prediction that sexual minority students were more likely to report all four types of victimization than non-sexual minority students. Sexual minority students were about four times more likely to report sexual assault, two times more likely to report sexual harassment and physical abuse, and about 1.5 times more likely to report psychological abuse. Sexual minority males were more likely to report sexual assault (nine times), sexual harassment (3.5 times), and physical abuse (twice as likely). Sexual minority females were about twice as likely to report sexual assault, physical abuse, and psychological abuse.
