This study estimates the prevalence of male abusive behavior reported by men and their female partners and identifies characteristics of abusive men.
Baseline survey from a population based cohort study of general health.
A rural county in Iowa, USA.
572 men and their cohabitating female partners.
Male-to-female physical, emotional, and sexual abuse reported by either partner.
In this cohort, 13.6% of men had performed at least one act of physical abuse and 34.9% emotional abuse. More than 45% of abusive men reported their own behaviors. Alcohol problems, antisocial personality characteristics, depressive symptoms, and financial stress were all positively associated with both physical and emotional abuse, but suicidal thoughts were less likely among abusers.
Identification of common characteristics of abusive men may predict proclivity towards partner violence and barriers to behavior modification.
本研究估计男性及其女性伴侣报告的男性虐待行为的患病率，并确定虐待男性的特征。
基于人群的一般健康队列研究的基线调查。
美国爱荷华州的一个乡村县。
572名男性及其同居女性伴侣。
伴侣双方报告的男性对女性的身体、情感和性虐待。
在这个队列中，13.6%的男性至少实施过一次身体虐待，34.9%实施过情感虐待。超过45%的虐待男性报告了自己的行为。酒精问题、反社会人格特征、抑郁症状和经济压力均与身体和情感虐待呈正相关，但虐待者自杀念头较少。
识别虐待男性的共同特征可能有助于预测伴侣暴力倾向以及行为改变的障碍。
