先前的研究表明，约会暴力的发生受到各种动机的影响，包括自卫。虽然一些数据表明，女性更有可能在自卫中使用身体攻击，但自卫的评估措施在几个明显的方面受到限制，阻碍了充分理解导致自卫攻击的无数原因的努力。本研究旨在探讨男性和女性大学生之间的身体攻击的动机，使用的自我防御性攻击的上下文自我报告措施，专为当前的研究。结果表明，许多动机的身体侵略赞同男性和女性，与预期相反，女性并不更有可能使用侵略自卫。这些研究结果对未来的研究和约会暴力预防规划的影响进行了讨论。
Previous research has suggested that the occurrence of dating violence is influenced by various motivations, including self-defense. While some data have suggested that females are more likely to use physical aggression in self-defense, assessment measures of self-defense have been limited in several notable ways, hindering efforts at fully understanding the myriad of reasons contributing to self-defensive aggression. The current study sought to examine motivations for physical aggression among male and female college students using a contextual self-report measure of self-defensive aggression designed specifically for the current study. Results showed that numerous motivations for physical aggression were endorsed by both males and females and, contrary to expectations, females were not more likely to use aggression in self-defense. Implications of these findings for future research and dating violence prevention programming are discussed.
