Numerous theories classify distinct subtypes of men who perpetrate violence against female partners. These theories contend that a large portion of these men possess antisocial characteristics that may increase risk for violence. Affectively, these men have been found to externalize their emotions, including shame and guilt, and it has been suggested that this process contributes to the perpetration of partner violence. Therefore, this study sought to examine the role of shame and guilt in the association between antisociality and partner violence perpetration (i.e., psychological, physical, and sexual). Based on a sample of 423 undergraduate men, this study found that shame moderated the association between antisociality and partner violence perpetration such that as shame increases, the associations between antisociality and all three types of partner violence perpetration increase. These findings contribute to the theoretical understanding of typological models of partner violence and have clinical implications for batterer intervention programs.
众多理论对实施针对女性伴侣暴力行为的男性的不同亚型进行了分类。这些理论认为,这些男性中的很大一部分具有反社会特征,这可能会增加暴力风险。在情感方面,已发现这些男性将包括羞耻和内疚在内的情感外化,有人认为这一过程促成了伴侣暴力行为的发生。因此,本研究旨在探讨羞耻和内疚在反社会行为与伴侣暴力行为(即心理、身体和性暴力)之间的关联中所起的作用。基于423名本科男性的样本,本研究发现羞耻调节了反社会行为与伴侣暴力行为之间的关联,即随着羞耻感的增加,反社会行为与所有三种类型的伴侣暴力行为之间的关联也会增加。这些发现有助于从理论上理解伴侣暴力的类型模型,并对施暴者干预项目具有临床意义。
