目的：夫妻间关于攻击行为发生的一致性出人意料地低。调查研究经常会合并伴侣的报告，以对关系中的攻击行为进行汇总估计。这种方法忽略了伴侣对事件的看法可能存在的差异，可能会削弱研究人员发现攻击行为后果的能力。目前的研究检查了双方的言语攻击行为报告，以确定只有一名伴侣报告的攻击行为是否会影响双方的短期结果。方法：我们使用 56 天的日记来研究言语攻击对短期负面结果的影响。我们研究了任何一方报告的攻击行为是否足以预测对双方的后果，或者一个人是否必须报告攻击行为才能承受后果。结果：受害者关于受到言语攻击的报告比施暴者的报告更能预测第二天受害者的后果。施暴者对实施言语攻击的报告比受害者的报告更能预测施暴者第二天的后果。当合作伙伴一致认为发生了攻击行为的日子通常预示着最坏的结果。结论：人们自己对言语攻击的报告是短期后果的最佳预测指标。汇总伴侣的攻击行为报告可能会让我们更难理解亲密伴侣攻击行为的后果。
Objective: Agreement within couples regarding the occurrence of aggression is surprisingly low. Survey research often collapses across partners' reports to create a pooled estimate of aggression in the relationship. This method ignores possible differences in partners' perceptions of the event, potentially weakening researchers' ability to detect consequences of aggression. The current study examines both partners' reports of verbal aggression to determine whether aggression reported by only 1 partner influences both partners' short-term outcomes. Method: We used a 56-day daily diary to examine the effect of verbal aggression on short-term negative outcomes. We examined whether aggression reported by either partner is sufficient to predict consequences for both partners, or whether an individual must report aggression to experience consequences. Results: Victims' reports of receiving verbal aggression were a better predictor of next day victim consequences than perpetrators' reports. Perpetrators' reports of perpetrating verbal aggression were a better predictor of next-day perpetrator consequences than victims' reports. Days when partners agreed that aggression had occurred generally predicted the worst outcomes. Conclusions: People's own reports of verbal aggression are the best predictor of short-term consequences. Pooling partner reports of aggression may make it more difficult to understand the consequences of intimate partner aggression.
