This study investigates the process of social construction of men's aggression in general and men's violence against women in particular. The research of the study consists of two types of interview: life-history interviews with men over 60 years of age and interviews with researchers and practitioners.The life-history interviews were conducted with 11 men from 61 to 84 years of age, living in Hokkaido, Kyushu, and the Tokyo area. The primary focus of the interviews was on the men's experiences of aggression that they received, initiated or observed in their different life-stages including the war time. The interviewees showed negative attitudes towards aggression as a whole, but at the same time provided a variety of reasons to justify some kinds of aggression under certain circumstances. In particular, they demonstrated a somewhat positive attitude towards the aggression they experienced in the army. They regarded even a beating up as acceptable, if it was carried out by a senior officer who intended to discipline or educate his juniors. Likewise, they did not mind being inconsiderate to their wives as a form of discipline. Generally speaking, they tended to be tolerant of aggression and their concept of what is unacceptable aggression was very narrow.Through the interviews with researchers and practitioners, we learn that there are many problems concerning domestic violence in Japan that need to be further examined. Because of an urgent call for a batterer's program, researchers and practitioners have been trying to develop such a program and put it into practice. However, there are several different viewpoints about what a batterer's program should be like, and no cooperative network has yet been organized to establish integrated measures for coping with perpetrators of domestic violence.

本研究探讨了男性攻击行为的社会建构过程，特别是男性对女性的暴力行为。本研究的研究包括两种类型的访谈：对60岁以上男性的生活史访谈和对研究人员和从业人员的访谈。对生活在北海道、九州和东京地区的11名年龄在61至84岁之间的男性进行了生活史访谈。访谈的主要焦点是男性在不同的生命阶段（包括战争时期）接受、发起或观察到的侵略经历。受访者对侵略行为的态度总体上是消极的，但同时也提供了各种理由来为某些情况下的侵略行为辩护。特别是，他们对他们在军队中所经历的侵略表现出某种积极的态度。他们认为，即使是殴打也是可以接受的，如果是由一名高级军官实施的，目的是为了惩戒或教育他的下级。同样，他们也不介意对妻子不体贴，以此作为一种管教。总的来说，他们倾向于容忍侵略，他们对什么是不可接受的侵略的概念非常狭隘。通过对研究人员和从业人员的访谈，我们了解到日本的家庭暴力有很多问题需要进一步研究。由于对施虐者程序的迫切需求，研究人员和从业人员一直在努力开发这样一个程序并将其付诸实践。然而，关于施虐者的项目应该是什么样子，有几种不同的观点，而且还没有组织合作网络来建立应对家庭暴力施暴者的综合措施。
