The problem of domestic violence is widespread, with research indicating men and women both perpetrate a substantial amount of aggression. However, aggression perpetrated by women is a relatively understudied area compared to aggression perpetrated by men. Additionally, research is needed to determine the correlates of aggression perpetration among women, as this can inform more effective treatment programs. Thus, the current study sought to examine the association between trait anger and impulsivity and the perpetration of physical and psychological intimate partner violence (IPV) and general aggression among women arrested for domestic violence (N = 80). Findings indicated that both trait anger and impulsivity were significantly associated with aggression perpetration and trait anger mediated the relationship between impulsivity and aggression perpetration. Directions for future research and violence intervention programs are discussed.
家庭暴力问题普遍存在，研究表明男性和女性都实施了大量的攻击行为。然而，与男性实施的攻击行为相比，女性实施的攻击行为是一个相对研究不足的领域。此外，还需要研究确定女性实施攻击行为的相关因素，因为这可以为更有效的治疗方案提供信息。因此，本研究旨在探讨特质愤怒和冲动与实施身体和心理亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）以及因家庭暴力被捕的女性一般攻击性之间的关系（N=80）。研究结果表明，特质愤怒和冲动都与攻击性显著相关，并且特质愤怒中介了冲动与攻击性之间的关系。讨论了未来研究和暴力干预计划的方向。
