这项研究假设，权力的差异，在婚姻关系中，丈夫是从属地位，作为丈夫对妻子的暴力行为的风险因素。婚姻权力的结构从三个权力领域进行评估，这些领域由经济地位、决策权力、沟通模式和沟通技能的差异来操作。三组已婚夫妇（N = 95）进行了比较：家庭暴力（DV），婚姻痛苦/非暴力（DNV），婚姻幸福/非暴力（HNV）。家庭暴力夫妇比2个非暴力群体更有可能从事丈夫的需求/妻子退出互动。在家庭暴力组中，权力较小的丈夫对妻子的身体虐待更多。因此，暴力可能是补偿行为，以弥补丈夫在婚姻其他领域缺乏权力。评估婚姻权力的困难和未来的研究方向的权力和暴力进行了讨论。
This study hypothesized that power discrepancies in the marital relationship, where the husband is subordinate, serve as risk factors for husband-to-wife violence. The construct of marital power was assessed from 3 power domains operationalized by discrepancies in economic status, decision-making power, communication patterns, and communication skill. Three groups of married couples (N = 95) were compared: domestically violent (DV), maritally distressed/nonviolent (DNV), and maritally happy/nonviolent (HNV). DV couples were more likely than the 2 nonviolent groups to engage in husband demand/wife withdraw interactions. Within the DV group, husbands who had less power were more physically abusive toward their wives. Thus, violence may be compensatory behavior to make up for husbands' lack of power in other arenas of marriage. Difficulties in assessing marital power and future direction for the study of power and violence are discussed.
