The present study examines the role of anger and victimization in women's use of aggression in heterosexual intimate relationships. The sample was composed of 108 women, primarily African American, urban, and poor, who had used violence against a partner in the previous 6 months. Path modeling was used to examine the interrelationships among anger, women's aggressive behavior, victimization, childhood abuse experiences, and symptoms of posttraumatic stress and depression. Results revealed that almost all of the women experienced violence from their partners. Greater frequency of victimization from partners and experiences of childhood abuse increased the likelihood that women would use aggression against their partners. Victimization from partners and childhood abuse also increased the likelihood that women would experience symptoms of posttraumatic stress and depression. Women with more symptoms of posttraumatic stress were also more likely to express anger outwardly towards others. Expressing anger outwardly toward others, in turn, predicted an increased likelihood of using aggression against partners.
本研究考察了愤怒和受害经历在女性异性亲密关系中使用攻击行为方面所起的作用。样本由108名女性组成，她们主要是非洲裔美国人，居住在城市且家境贫困，在过去6个月内曾对伴侣使用过暴力。路径模型分析被用于检验愤怒、女性攻击行为、受害经历、童年虐待经历以及创伤后应激和抑郁症状之间的相互关系。结果显示，几乎所有女性都遭受过伴侣的暴力。来自伴侣的受害频率更高以及童年虐待经历增加了女性对伴侣使用攻击行为的可能性。来自伴侣的受害经历和童年虐待经历也增加了女性出现创伤后应激和抑郁症状的可能性。创伤后应激症状更多的女性也更有可能向外人表达愤怒。反过来，向外人表达愤怒预示着对伴侣使用攻击行为的可能性增加。
