Different Measures of Violent Attitudes May Not Be So Different After All
Previous research has produced mixed evidence regarding the distinctiveness of measures of violent attitudes. In two studies, we examined this issue further with different approaches. In the first study, 97 male undergraduate students were randomly assigned to a message to reduce violent attitudes or to a control condition and then responded to three self-report measures of violent attitudes (Evaluation of Violence Questionnaire, Violence Scale o…
The Factor Structure of Intimate Partner Violence Risk
To improve our understanding of the latent constructs of intimate partner violence (IPV) risk, we explored the underlying factor structure of combined items from three IPV risk assessment tools and examined whether the factors predict recidivism outcomes. Data were examined for 251 adult men who were charged with violence against their past or current female intimate partners and whose files were referred for a comprehensive threat assessment fro…
Violent attitudes in Portugal and Canada
Theory and evidence suggest that attitudes toward violence are relevant for the explanation, prediction, and reduction of violent behavior. The purpose of the present study was to adapt a measure of violent attitudes—the Evaluation of Violence Questionnaire (EVQ)—for use in Portugal, test the cross‐country equivalence, and test the validity of both versions. We found the expected one‐factor structure, high internal consistency, and cross‐country …
Using reaction time procedures to assess implicit attitudes toward violence in a nonconvicted male sample
In this study, we sought to capture implicit attitudes toward violence by administering response latency measures. We then examined their associations with explicit (e.g., assessed with self‐report) attitudes toward violence and self‐reported violent behavior in a combined sample of males from a Canadian university and males from the general community ( N = 251; 156 students and 95 community members). To date, there have been mixed findings regar…
Predicting Recidivism in a High-Risk Sample of Intimate Partner Violent Men Referred for Police Threat Assessment
It is unknown whether existing intimate partner violence (IPV) risk assessment tools can predict recidivism within threat assessment samples. We examined the predictive validity for IPV, any violent, and general recidivism of four commonly used IPV risk appraisal tools (Ontario Domestic Assault Risk Assessment [ODARA], Spousal Assault Risk Assessment version 2 [SARA-V2], SARA version 3 [SARA-V3], and Brief Spousal Assault Form for the Evaluation …
Risk scores and reliability of the Sara, Sara-V3, B-Safer, and Odara among Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) cases referred for threat assessment
Threat assessment services help police by identifying risk and recommending ways to mitigate risk for cases perceived to have a high potential for intimate partner violence (IPV). However, research has yet to show that cases referred for threat assessment score higher on IPV risk tools than routine policing samples, which would show whether referrals are appropriate. Furthermore, it is unknown whether these tools can be scored reliably from docum…
The Violent Behavior Vignette Questionnaire (VBVQ)
The measurement of violent behavior presents serious challenges for research on violence. In the current article, we present initial tests of the construct validity of scores on the Violent Behavior Vignette Questionnaire (VBVQ), which consists of a series of interpersonal conflict vignettes with response options in a multiple-choice format designed to measure current violent behavior. Violent responses on the initial version of the VBVQ generall…
Emotional Congruence with Children
Some men convicted of sexual offences against children express an exaggerated affiliation with childhood, ascribe child-like characteristics to themselves, experience strong non-sexual liking of children, and hold positive views of children and childhood. These features are generally called emotional congruence with children. The present study examined child-like self-concept, which is an association of self with children and child-like character…
