Implications of intimate partner physical violence and substance misuse for parenting
Approximately 35%–45% of young married adults engage in intimate partner violence (IPV), and it is possible to reliably distinguish between general IPV and clinically significant IPV in a manner accepted both by DSM‐V & ICD‐11. IPV and alcohol misuse have been associated in many research designs, and experts now argue that alcohol misuse causes IPV. While less research exists on other substances like marijuana, there is clearly a moderate associa…
Partner Physical Aggression and Risk for Physical Child Abuse
Two randomly drawn samples of mothers and fathers of young children in New York and Texas were assessed for both partner physical aggression and physical child abuse. Overall, both minor and severe physical aggression against a partner were associated with an increased likelihood of physical child abuse. However, even for severe aggression in these randomly drawn community samples, the likelihood of child abuse given partner abuse was less than 2…
Collaborative communication efficiency is linked to relationship satisfaction in dating couples
The speed, or efficiency, in which people communicate is linked to positive interpersonal outcomes. However, no studies of communication efficiency have examined romantic partners, making it unclear whether efficient communication is linked to relationship satisfaction above and beyond previously identified communication skills (e.g., problem‐solving). We recruited dating couples ( N = 56) to attend a laboratory session to complete survey measure…
Stability, Change, and Informant Variance in Newlyweds' Physical Aggression: Individual and Dyadic Processes
Individual and dyadic stability models of newlyweds' physical aggression were evaluated in a sample of 394 newlywed community couples recruited at engagement and followed for 2.5 years. Aggression in young couples was hypothesized to be a stable, enduring trait, consistent with a latent state–trait conceptualization. However, the findings indicated that aggression can more parsimoniously be conceptualized as a “somewhat stable” trait with strong …
Memory for partner-related stimuli: Free recall and frequency estimation
The role of partner schema in memory for laboratory-presented stimuli was examined to evaluate the existence of memory bias associated with partner sentiment. Highly dissatisfied (n = 30) or satisfied (n = 35) dating individuals rated, recalled, and estimated the frequency of positive and negative partner trait-relevant words. Word applicability ratings were consistent with relationship schema for all participants. Recall for positive partner-rel…

The role of separation/divorce in relapse into and recovery from major depression
This study examined the effects of marital dissolution on two potential outcomes, relapse into and recovery from major depression, within a sample that explicitly faces the recurring risk of depression. Among subjects who were depressed at the time of marital dissolution, Cox proportional hazards models revealed a five-fold increased probability of recovering from major depression for subjects who experienced a separation/ divorce relative to sub…
A Dyadic Longitudinal Model of Adolescent Dating Aggression
The stability of and dyadic influences on physical aggression in adolescents' dating relationships have implications for understanding the etiology of intimate partner violence and, in turn, prevention efforts. We studied the stability of aggression and tested a longitudinal dyadic model of psychological and physical aggression in samples of adolescent males and females who remained in relationships for 3 months. Physical aggression against datin…
Childhood physical abuse, personality, and adult relationship violence: A model of vulnerability to victimization
An association between childhood physical abuse and current relationship violence was observed in a sample of 56 young adult women, suggesting that childhood physical abuse may be a unique risk factor for victimization in intimate adult relationships. Aspects of personality and interpersonal functioning that reflect extreme doubt about one's interpretation and understanding of interpersonal events, and an inability to make sensible causal connect…
Childhood physical abuse, personality and adult relationship violence: A model of vulnerability to victimization
Are women really more aggressive than men in intimate relationships? Comment on Archer
J. Archer's (2000) conclusion that women engage in slightly more physical aggression than men in intimate relationships but sustain more injuries is reasonable in representative samples. However, his conclusions will provoke negative reactions because they do not fit with the data and belief that men are generally more aggressive than women. In addition, they are incompatible with observations of professionals who serve battered women. Basically,…

Aggression Between Heterosexual Dating Partners: An Examination of a Causal Model of Courtship Aggression
The authors used structural equation analyses of data obtained from a survey of 345 college undergraduates (232 women, 113 men) to test a predictive model of dating aggression based on the background-situational model proposed by Riggs and O'Leary (1989). Results offer initial support for the background-situational model. Among men and women, dating aggression was directly related to the individual's attitudes about dating aggression, history of …
Physical aggression in early marriage: Prerelationship and relationship effects.
Predicting mild and severe husband-to-wife physical aggression.
Marital Discord and Dysphoria: For Whom does the Marital Relationship Predict Depressive Symptomatology
The article examines the ability of early and concurrent relationship satisfaction to predict newlyweds' level of depression. The sample was composed of 241 couples, all of whom were white, responding to advertisements for couples about to marry. Both spouses were assessed prior to marriage and at 6 and 18 months after marriage. Marital relationship variables were found to be predictive of later depressive symptomatology for all spouses, but a ch…
Prevalence and stability of physical aggression between spouses: A longitudinal analysis.
Psychological aggression predicts physical aggression in early marriage.
Psychological aggression by self and partner, physical aggression by the partner, and marital dissatisfaction were examined as longitudinal predictors of first instances of physical aggression during marriage. Subjects who were not physically aggressive at a premarital assessment were selected from a sample of 393 engaged couples. Couples participated in three subsequent assessments over the first 30 months of marriage. As hypothesized, individua…
Generalization and Containment: Different Effects of Past Aggression for Wives and Husbands

Prevalence and Correlates of Physical Aggression During Courtship
A total of 95 males and 175 females provided information about whether they had engaged in or been victims of physical aggression in past and/or current dating relationships. Some 30% of the men and 32% of the women reported engaging in some form of physical aggression against a current steady dating partner. Additionally, 49% of the men and 26% of the women reported being the victims of their current dating partner's physical aggression. Length …
Interspousal reliability of reports of marital violence.
Examined interpersonal reliability on reports of marital violence. 65 couples beginning marital therapy and 37 couples from the community participated. Husbands and wives had average ages of 35 and 32 yrs, respectively. Each S completed a version of the Conflict Tactics Scale on which they were asked to report on their own use of physically abusive behavior as well as their partner's use of such behaviors in the past 12 mo. Agreement between part…

Preference for Variability of Stimuli as a Function of Experimentally Induced Anxiety
Effects of Self-Instruction on Rule-Breaking Behavior
Two experiments were conducted to analyze factors related to the control of motor behavior by self-instruction and to replicate O'Leary's (1968) finding on the effectiveness of self-instruction in reducing rule-breaking behavior. The length of the temporal interval between the self-instruction and the opportunity to break the rules, and the amount of prior training in self-instruction were the variables under study. The effectiveness of self-inst…

Marital violence: Characteristics of abusive couples.
Children: The unintended victims of marital violence
This paper attempts to investigate the effects of wife-battering on children. Current behavior problems of the children are examined and potential long-term consequences are evaluated through retrospective examination of the abusive husband. Findings suggest that both present and future behavior may be adversely affected by childhood exposure to domestic violence
The Promise and Challenge of Behaviour Therapy
Three promises of behaviour therapy noted by Skinner, Eysenck, and Wolpe were discussed, namely, that behaviour problems could be treated as problems in their own right, that therapy procedures could be formulated in a testable fashion, and that treatment could be effective in months. These promises were discussed in the context of child behaviour therapy and the effectiveness of behavioural treatments was reviewed for developmental disabilities,…
