Binge Drinking in Couples and Intimate Partner Violence

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管频繁的大量饮酒模式与男性亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的发生有关，但这些女性饮酒模式在亲密伴侣暴力中的作用却知之甚少。此外，很少有数据表明男性和女性饮酒对成员的IPV实施和受害的共同影响。这一提议涉及一项三波纵向研究，旨在检验丈夫和妻子酗酒作为婚姻言语和身体攻击的前瞻性预测因素。本项目强调执行认知功能和负面影响对酗酒与IPV关系的调节作用。从方法上讲，该应用程序包括向社区家庭样本邮寄调查问卷，以招募年龄在18至45岁之间的已婚或同居至少一年的夫妇。这些夫妇将接受关于夫妻饮酒行为的筛查。大约300个家庭，其中丈夫、妻子、双方或双方都符合酗酒标准的家庭将被招募进行为期两年的纵向研究。这对夫妇将在基线以及一年后和两年后接受评估。评估将侧重于执行认知功能、负面影响、言语和身体攻击以及与酒精相关的变量。此外，为了进行基于事件的分析，将对夫妻进行关于关系中最严重的言语和最严重的身体攻击事件的访谈。统计分析将检验夫妻酗酒之间的关系，以及他们对夫妻婚姻攻击的相互作用，以及ECF或负面影响是否调节了这些关系。结果将提供重要的见解，关于妇女饮酒的作用，单独和与男子饮酒，在IPV的发生。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Although frequent heavy drinking patterns are related to the occurrence of intimate partner violence (IPV) among men, the role of these women's drinking patterns in IPV is poorly understood. Moreover, there is little data that addresses the joint influence of men's and women's drinking on both members' IPV perpetration and victimization. This proposal involves a three wave longitudinal study designed to examine husband and wife binge drinking as prospective predictors of verbal and physical marital aggression. The project emphasizes the moderating influence of executive cognitive functioning and negative affect on the relationship between binge drinking and IPV. Methodologically, this application involves mailed questionnaires to a community sample of households to recruit couples who are married or have been living together for at least one year and are between the ages of 18 and 45. The couples will be screened with respect to husband and wife drinking behavior. Approximately 300 families in which the husband, the wife, both, or neither meet criteria for binge drinking will be recruited for a two year longitudinal study. The couple will be assessed at baseline and one and two years later. The assessments will focus on executive cognitive functioning, negative affect, verbal and physical aggression, and alcohol-related variables. In addition, couples will be interviewed with respect to the most severe verbal and most severe physical aggression events in the relationship in order to conduct event-based analyses. Statistical analyses will examine the relationships among husband and wife binge drinking, and their interaction on husband and wife marital aggression and whether ECF or negative affect moderate these relationships. The results will provide important insights with respect to the role of women's drinking, alone and in combination with men's drinking, on the occurrence of IPV.
