“…When the target is an opposite-sex partner, however, women use aggressive acts at least as often as men (Archer, 2000a(Archer, , 2002Archer, Fernandez-Fuertes, & Thanzami, 2010;Carney, Buttell, & Dutton, 2007;Cross, Tee, & Campbell, 2011;Graham-Kevan & Archer, 2009;Milardo, 1998;Robertson & Murachver, 2007;Straus, 2008a). This might be because women use more aggression towards intimate partners than other targets, because men use less aggression towards intimate partners than other targets, or because both of these are true.…”

The effects on aggression of target sex and relationship with the target were investigated using self‐report data. One hundred and seventy‐four participants (115 female) reported on acts of direct aggression in the last 2 years toward intimate partners, known and unknown same‐sex targets, and known and unknown opposite‐sex targets. Women's self‐reported aggression was higher toward partners than other targets, replicating previous findings regarding women's intimate partner aggression. Women's aggression was consistently higher toward same‐sex than opposite‐sex targets, but the effect of knowing the target was inconsistent. Men's self‐reported aggression was more frequent toward same‐sex than opposite‐sex targets—including intimate partners—and more frequent toward known than unknown targets. Results are discussed with reference to a partner‐specific reduction in women's fear, and sex differences in threshold for classifying someone as “known well.” Limitations of the present sample and suggestions for future work are discussed.

“…Así, Pablo SantoS-IgleSIaS, Juan CarloS SIerra y Pablo ValleJo-MedIna en su reciente revisión, Randle y Graham (2011) señalan que pueden mostrar síntomas de estrés postraumático, trastorno de estrés postraumático, depresión e ideación suicida. Por tanto, la violencia de pareja de las mujeres hacia los varones es un problema que no puede ser ignorado y al que hay que dedicar esfuerzos y recursos (Carney, buttell, y Dutton, 2007).…”

ResumenEl objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar algunas propiedades psicométricas de la versión española del Index of Spouse Abuse en una muestra de varones españoles, ya que no existen instrumentos validados en España en esta población. Participaron 598 varones con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 77 años (M = 40.20; DT = 13.71) seleccionados de la población general mediante muestreo incidental. Los resultados mostraron una estructura de 30 ítems agrupados en tres subescalas: Abuso no físico, Control de conductas y Abuso físico. Los valores de fiabilidad oscilaron entre .60 y .81. Mostró buena validez convergente con las puntuaciones de la Sexual Assertiveness Scale. Se encontró que las conductas de abuso más frecuentes son de abuso no físico y control de conductas, siendo el abuso físico menos frecuente. Se discuten los resultados obtenidos y sus implicaciones para la evaluación de la violencia de pareja en varones. Palabras clave: Index of Spouse Abuse, propiedades psicométricas, varones, violencia de pareja. AbstractThe aim of the presente study was to analyze some psychometric properties of the Index of Spouse Abuse in a Spanish male sample, because there are no adapted instruments in Spain for this population. Participants were 598 males with ages ranging from 18 to 77 years old (M = 40.20; SD = 13.71), and they were selected from general population through a convenience sampling procedure. Results showed a structure made up of 30 items clustered into three subscales: Nonphysical abuse, Behavior controlling, and Physical abuse. Reliability values ranged from .60 to .81. It showed good convergent validity with scores on the Sexual Assertiveness Scale. Further, it was found that nonphysical abuse and behavior controlling were the most frequent form of abuse, while physical abuse was less frequent. Results and their implications for the assessment of partner abuse are discussed.

“…These victims have perpetrators who are often mandated to treatment or seek out treatment to address their use of violence in their intimate relationships. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious social problem and, to combat it, batterer intervention programs (BIPs) have become the most prevalent treatment mechanism for perpetrators after a criminal domestic violence plea or conviction (Carney and Buttell, 2006;Price and Rosenbaum, 2009). However, only recently, has a growing body of literature begun to investigate the motivations, experiences, and treatment of female perpetrators (e.g., see White and Dutton, 2013;Follingstad et al, 1991;Archer, 2000;Williams, Ghandour, & Kub, 2008;Desmarais, Reeves, Nichools, Telford, & Fiebert, 2012).…”
