作者根据 I-3 理论（发音为“1 立方理论”）提出假设，进行了 4 项研究，以阐明在何种情况下性格攻击性可预测亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 的实施。与当抑制过程较弱而不是较强时这种联系会更强的假设相一致，研究 1 和 2 表明，在经历自我调节强度损耗的人中，性格攻击性是 IPV 实施的一个特别有力的预测因子。研究 3 和研究 4 表明，在以弱抑制（研究 3 中的执行控制较差，研究 4 中的耗尽）和强煽动（两项研究中的挑衅）为特征的人群中，性格攻击性是 IPV 实施的一个特别有力的预测因子，与这样的假设相一致，即当煽动触发因素较强时，这种倾向性攻击性 X 抑制相互作用效应会更强。在采用实验和非实验设计、横断面和纵向方法、约会和已婚参与者、IPV 实施的自我报告和行为测量以及所有结构的多样化操作的研究中，这些效应是强有力的。讨论强调了将煽动、推动和抑制过程纳入 IPV 犯罪的理论和实证分析的重要性。
Deriving hypotheses from I-3 theory (pronounced "1-cubed theory"), the authors conducted 4 studies to clarify the circumstances under which dispositional aggressiveness predicts intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration. Consistent with the hypothesis that this link would be stronger when inhibitory processes are weak rather than strong, Studies 1 and 2 demonstrated that dispositional aggressiveness was an especially robust predictor of IPV perpetration among people experiencing self-regulatory strength depletion. Consistent with the hypothesis that this Dispositional Aggressiveness X Inhibition interaction effect would be stronger when instigating triggers are strong rather than weak, Studies 3 and 4 demonstrated that dispositional aggressiveness was an especially robust predictor of IPV perpetration among people characterized by both weak inhibition (poor executive control in Study 3, depletion in Study 4) and strong instigation (provocation in both studies). These effects were robust in studies employing experimental and nonexperimental designs, cross-sectional and longitudinal methods, dating and married participants, self-report and behavioral measures of IPV perpetration, and diverse operationalizations of all constructs. Discussion emphasizes the importance of incorporating instigating, impelling, and inhibiting processes into theoretical and empirical analyses of IPV perpetration.
