This study examined the interactive effects of locus of control and heavy episodic drinking on men's physical assault and sexual coercion against intimate partners.
Participants were 151 heterosexual drinking men who completed self-report measures of locus of control, alcohol consumption during the past 12 months, and intimate-partner aggression during the past 12 months.
An internal locus of control was associated with a lower frequency of physical assault and sexual coercion toward intimate partners among men who reported lower quantities of alcohol consumption. However, data suggested that the protective qualities of an internal locus of control for both forms of partner aggression diminished among men who reported higher quantities of alcohol consumption.
These results support alcohol myopia theory and extend this theory by suggesting how alcohol consumption may affect the relation between locus of control and different forms of intimate-partner aggression toward women.
本研究考察了控制点和重度发作性饮酒对男性侵犯身体和性胁迫亲密伴侣的交互影响。
参与者为 151 名异性恋饮酒男性,他们完成了自我报告的控制点、过去 12 个月内的酒精消费以及过去 12 个月内的亲密伴侣侵犯行为的测量。
在报告较低酒精消费量的男性中,内部控制点与侵犯身体和性胁迫亲密伴侣的频率较低有关。然而,数据表明,在报告较高酒精消费量的男性中,内部控制点对两种形式的伴侣侵犯的保护作用减弱。
这些结果支持了酒精近视理论,并通过表明酒精消费如何影响控制点与针对女性的不同形式亲密伴侣侵犯之间的关系,扩展了这一理论。
