Current State of Psychological Research on Intimate Partner Violence: Implications for Legal Proceedings
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious and widespread public health concern. Not only has it been the subject of thousands of papers published over the past three decades, but it also appears frequently in legal proceedings across criminal, civil, and family court contexts. To have currency in the field, forensic experts and other individuals working in court systems must identify and synthesize a wide and complex body of literature, from t…
Gender Discrepancy Stress and Sexual Victimization Explain Sexual Minority Youths' Mental Health Disparities
BACKGROUND: Sexual minority youth are disproportionately at risk of psychopathology. This may be due, in part, to their elevated risk of sexual violence victimization. However, gender discrepancy stress stemming from the fear of repercussions for their gender nonconformity (e.g., sexual violence) may be a more salient driver of their psychopathology. Discrepancy stress is linked broadly to psychopathology among cisgender heterosexual populations.…
Psychopathy is a neglected public health problem
Although psychopathy has been widely studied within criminal justice contexts, its impact on society is rarely considered in public health contexts. Even so, evidence strongly implicates psychopathic traits in substantial costs (not just fiscal) to society. Individuals with psychopathic features commonly hurt those with whom they have relationships in important ways, including through abuse, manipulation, deception and, often, violence. We review…
Adolescents' Understanding of Consent and Associations With Sexual Violence Experiences
INTRODUCTION: Adolescents have a nontrivial risk of sexual violence (SV) victimization. Comprehension of sexual consent is posited to reduce victimization rates; however, few studies have examined adolescents' comprehension of consent and its relationship to SV. The objectives of this study are thus to examine how adolescents' contextual understanding of consent relates to their experiences of SV victimization and perpetration. METHODS: Cross-sec…
Sexual Communication with Partners: Young Adults’ Reflections on Sources, Content, and Shortfalls of Sex Education
Impact of a College Sexual Violence Prevention Program on Condom Use: A Mediation Analysis
College-age students are disproportionately impacted by sexually transmitted infections. Campus programs that reduce sexual violence have received recent investment, are increasingly common, and may offer a platform to increase condom use, but this has not yet been investigated. We explore this novel question through a secondary analysis of a randomized control trial of RealConsent, a web-based, sexual assault program for college women, on three …
Recent research involving consent, alcohol intoxication, and memory: Implications for expert testimony in sexual assault cases
Abstinence beliefs in early adolescence and sexual risk behavior two years later
INTRODUCTION: The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate and sexually transmitted infection rates among developed countries. One common approach that has been implemented to reduce these rates is abstinence-only-until-marriage programs that advocate for delaying sexual intercourse until marriage. These programs focus on changing adolescents' beliefs toward abstinence until marriage; however, it is unclear whether adolescents' beliefs a…
Examining the Relation Between Early Violence Exposure and Firearm-Related Experiences in Emerging Adulthood: A Longitudinal Cohort Study
Firearms are a leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults in the United States. Early exposure to violence, as a victim or witness, is associated with increased risk of firearm-related experiences, including carrying and threatening others with a gun. These experiences, in turn, increase the risk of both fatal and non-fatal firearm injuries. Using an ethnically diverse sample of emerging adults, we build on prior research by examin…

Interpersonal Violence Victimization Experiences of Middle School Youth: An Exploration by Gender and Sexual/Romantic Attraction
Sexual minority youth (SMY) are at increased risk for interpersonal violence victimization compared to heterosexual youth. The current study examined how self-reported victimization (i.e., bullying, sexual harassment and dating violence) among middle school youth varied as a function of sexual/romantic attraction as well as gender identity. Cross-sectional data were gathered from students at seven middle schools in New England (n = 2245). Mean co…
A Comparative Analysis of Gender Discrepancy Stress, Attitudes toward Intimate Partner Violence, and Perpetration among Young Adults in the USA and Uganda
Overall, IPV perpetration was significantly higher for U.S. males compared with Ugandan males. These findings indicate that cultural adaptations to global IPV interventions may be necessary to respond to differing needs in different countries
Adaptation and implementation of a parenting curriculum in a refugee/immigrant community using a task-shifting approach: A study protocol
The need for adapting of evidence-based programs and delivery methods for specific populations continues to be an important research question in implementation science. The goal of this study is to better understand an adaptation process and delivery method for three unique populations. We hope the study will inform other efforts to deliver health intervention to refugee communities and ultimately improve refugee health

Feminine Discrepancy Stress and Psychosocial Maladjustment Among Adolescent Girls
Masculine discrepancy stress and psychosocial maladjustment: Implications for behavioral and mental health of adolescent boys
Gender role discrepancy (GRD), or nonconformity to socially prescribed gender roles, has been linked to a multitude of adverse mental and behavioral health outcomes. Masculine discrepancy stress (MDS), stress about being perceived not to conform to one's gender role, may explain the relationship between GRD and deleterious health outcomes. However, research on MDS has primarily been restricted to adult males. This leaves a critical gap pertaining…

In Search of Modifiable Risk and Protective Factors for Teen Dating Violence
The present research explores the additive and interactive effects of anger or hostility (A/H), acceptance of violence (AoV), and constructive conflict resolution strategies (CRS) on the perpetration of physical and sexual teen dating violence (TDV). Adolescents completed surveys assessing physical and sexual TDV perpetration, A/H, AoV, and positive CRS. While the findings require replication with longitudinal data, the results suggest that devel…
Gender Role Attitudes and Male Adolescent Dating Violence Perpetration: Normative Beliefs as Moderators
Gender Role Discrepancy Stress, High-Risk Sexual Behavior, and Sexually Transmitted Disease
A test of two brief measures of grandiose narcissism: The Narcissistic Personality Inventory–13 and the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-16.
The most widely used measure of trait narcissism is the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), which can provide both total and subscale scores. However, with a length of 40 items, this measure may not be ideal in settings in which time or participant attention may limit the types of measures that can be administered. In response, Ames, Rose, and Anderson (2006) created the NPI-16, which provides a shorter, unidimensional measure of the constr…
Unprovoked Aggression: Effects of Psychopathic Traits and Sadism
Psychopathic individuals engage in the most violent and cold-blooded acts of aggression. In the laboratory, psychopathy traits have been linked to the commission of unprovoked aggression. The purpose of this study was to assess affective motives that may underlie the relationship between psychopathy and unprovoked aggression. One hundred thirty-seven men viewed a series of photographs depicting violent imagery, completed a lexical decision task d…
Narcissism and unprovoked aggression
It is widely accepted that narcissists become aggressive when they experience ego‐threat. However, there is surprisingly little empirical research on the relationship between narcissism and aggression. Equivocal findings suggest that aggression in narcissists either occurs only in response to provocation, or regardless of provocation. One‐hundred and thirty‐seven collegiate men completed the Narcissistic Personality Inventory followed by a sham a…
Personality and laboratory-based aggression: Comparing the predictive power of the Five-Factor Model, BIS/BAS, and impulsivity across context
Examining the Relations Among Narcissism, Impulsivity, and Self‐Defeating Behaviors
A recent meta‐analysis ( S. Vazire & D. C. Funder, 2006 ) suggested that narcissism and impulsivity are related and that impulsivity partially accounts for the relation between narcissism and self‐defeating behaviors (SDB). This research examines these hypotheses in two studies and tests a competing hypothesis that Extraversion and Agreeableness account for this relation. In Study 1 , we examined the relations among narcissism, impulsivity, and a…

Men who aggress against women: Effects of feminine gender role violation on physical aggression in hypermasculine men
Research on gender roles has indicated that men who strongly adhere to traditional masculine norms are more aggressive than their less adherent counterparts. Moreover, these men are particularly aggressive toward individuals who demonstrate gender role violations. However, these role violations have commonly been studied in reference to the masculine gender role and have studied extreme violations (i.e., depictions of homosexual intimate behavior…

Effects of psychopathy traits on unprovoked aggression
Research has demonstrated that risk of violent behavior is high in individuals who display psychopathic traits. However, prediction of general aggression, and in particular unprovoked aggression, in nonforensic men who possess such traits has received little experimental attention to date. This study examined the role of psychopathic traits in the prediction of unprovoked aggression in a nonforensic sample. One hundred and five men completed the …

Are homophobic men attracted to or repulsed by homosexual men? Effects of gay male erotica on anger, fear, happiness, and disgust
University of GeorgiaResearch has found that proximity to sexual minorities is associated with negativeaffect in homophobic individuals. To test whether negative feelings serve a protectivefunction in homophobic men against the sexual behavior of gay men, 54 collegiate menassessed for homophobic attitudes were primed with explicit male homosexual orheterosexual erotica followed by a lexical decision task measuring anger, fear, happi-ness, and dis…

The relationship between pain tolerance and trait aggression: Effects of sex and gender role
The literature on pain and aggression has indicated that pain elicits aggression. However, research has generally examined pain as a situational variable and focused less on the dispositional ability of an individual to tolerate pain. The dearth of research on pain tolerance and aggression appears to contradict the existing theory on the aggression‐eliciting effect of pain, in that studies have found a positive relationship between pain tolerance…

Relationship of Pain Tolerance with Human Aggression
In research with animals as well as samples of chronic pain patients and elderly persons, pain has been positively correlated with measures of irritability, hostility, and aggression. The present investigation examined the relationship of pain tolerance with aggression. 72 men participated in the Response Choice Aggression Paradigm, described previously by Zeichner and colleagues, in which aggressive response to provocation was possible but not r…
