本研究调查了特质愤怒和对女性的负面态度的综合影响（即，对女性的敌意、冷酷无情的性信仰）对婚前关系中身体攻击频率的影响。共有263名大学年龄的男性被招募，他们报告说，他们目前正在恋爱关系中，或者在过去的12个月里至少有一段恋爱关系。参与者完成了一系列的问卷调查，包括冲突策略量表-2，特质愤怒量表，对妇女的敌意量表和超男性气质量表。相关性分析表明，特质愤怒，对妇女的敌意，和无情的性信念与身体攻击的频率呈正相关。此外，分层回归分析表明，对妇女的敌意和老茧性信仰缓和特质愤怒和频率的身体攻击之间的关系，这样的男性谁拥有更多的负面态度对妇女，更高水平的特质愤怒导致增加身体攻击。结果提供了初步的支持特质愤怒的约会暴力的作用，并建议存在一个亚组婚前暴力男性谁拥有对妇女的消极态度，也拥有强烈的倾向，体验激烈的愤怒水平。
The present study investigated the combined effect of trait anger and negative attitudes towards women (i.e., hostility towards women, calloused sexual beliefs) on frequency of physical aggression in premarital relationships. A total of 263 college-aged men who reported that they were either currently involved in a romantic relationship or had been involved in at least one romantic relationship during the past 12 months were recruited. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires, including the Conflict Tactics Scale-2, Trait Anger Scale, Hostility Towards Women Scale, and Hypermasculinity Inventory. Correlational analyses indicated that trait anger, hostility towards women, and calloused sexual beliefs were positively associated with frequency of physical assault. Further, hierarchical regression analyses indicated that both hostility towards women and calloused sexual beliefs moderated the relationship between trait anger and frequency of physical assault, such that in men who possess more negative attitudes towards women, higher levels of trait anger lead to increased physical assault. Results provide initial support for the role of trait anger in dating violence and suggest the existence of a subgroup among premaritally violent males who possess negative attitudes toward women and also possess a strong tendency to experience intense levels of anger.
