最近的研究表明，在广泛的亲密关系和具体的约会关系中，女性犯下的心理攻击会产生毁灭性的影响。随着约会关系中心理攻击的发生率高得令人震惊，约会暴力的预防方案应该针对这种形式的攻击。为此，重要的是要了解增加一个人犯下心理攻击的风险的先决条件。本研究旨在探讨两个可能的危险因素犯下的心理攻击的女大学生（N = 145），即情绪调节和特质愤怒。研究结果表明，情绪调节困难和特质愤怒与心理攻击行为的增加有关，特质愤怒介导了情绪调节和心理攻击之间的联系。这些研究结果的影响，预防规划和未来的研究进行了讨论。
Recent research has demonstrated the devastating impact of female-perpetrated psychological aggression in intimate relationships broadly and dating relationships specifically. With the perpetration of psychological aggression in dating relationships occurring at shockingly high rates, prevention programming for dating violence should target this form of aggression. Toward this end, it is important to understand the antecedent conditions that increase one's risk for perpetrating psychological aggression. This study sought to examine two possible risk factors for perpetrating psychological aggression among female undergraduates (N = 145), namely, emotion regulation and trait anger. Findings showed that difficulties with emotion regulation and trait anger were associated with increased psychological aggression perpetration, and trait anger mediated the link between emotion regulation and psychological aggression. Implications of these findings for prevention programming and future research are discussed.
