根据经验,愤怒是对亲密伴侣做出攻击性反应的诱因。目前的调查使用前瞻性每日日记方法,研究了伴侣双方经历的愤怒以及性别和以前的攻击行为对体内亲密伴侣攻击行为(IPA)的影响。参与者(N = 118 对夫妇)分别提供了 56 份连续的每日情感体验和伴侣攻击性报告。使用演员-伴侣相互依赖模型(APIM)框架估计多层次模型,以分析参与的男性和女性的愤怒与伴侣攻击行为之间的日常关联,并以攻击历史为调节。结果显示,演员和伴侣的愤怒通常与随后报道的日常冲突有关。此外,无论愤怒程度高的女性还是男性,日常伴侣愤怒的增加与伴侣攻击性的相应增加有关,无论他们自己的愤怒经历如何。仅在以前有攻击性的女性中,演员愤怒的增加与日常伴侣攻击性的增加有关。以前有攻击性的男性和女性一致报告,在演员愤怒经历水平较高的日子里,他们比不具有攻击性的同行有更多的犯罪行为。结果强调了演员和伴侣因素在伴侣攻击行为中的重要性,并表明,在日常测量中,女性愤怒可能比男性愤怒更能预测女性对男性和男性对女性伴侣的攻击行为。
Anger is an empirically established precipitant to aggressive responding toward intimate partners. The current investigation examined the effects of anger, as experienced by both partners, as well as gender and previous aggression, on in vivo intimate-partner aggression (IPA) using a prospective daily diary methodology. Participants (N = 118 couples) individually provided 56 consecutive, daily reports of affective experience and partner aggression. Multilevel models were estimated using the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) framework to analyze the daily associations between anger and partner-aggression perpetration among participating men and women, as moderated by aggression history. Results revealed that both actor and partner anger were generally associated with subsequently reported daily conflict. Further, increases in daily partner anger were associated with corresponding increases in partner aggression among both women who reported high levels of anger and men, regardless of their own anger experience. Increases in actor anger were associated with increases in daily partner aggression only among previously aggressive women. Previously aggressive men and women consistently reported greater perpetration than their nonaggressive counterparts on days of high levels of actors' anger experiences. Results emphasize the importance of both actor and partner factors in partner aggression and suggest that female anger may be a stronger predictor of both female-to-male and male-to-female partner aggression than male anger, when measured at the daily level.
