The current study explored whether men's avoidance coping in response to the drinking behavior of their female partner with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) would be associated with higher levels of men's perpetration of intimate partner violence (IPV). Women with an AUD (n = 109) and their male partners in a U.S. urban area were assessed on men's perpetration of minor and severe violence using the Conflict Tactics Scale, men's avoidance coping using the Spouse Behavior Questionnaire, and men's and women's drinking behavior using the Time Line Follow Back Interview. Using multiple regression analysis, results showed that men's use of avoidance coping significantly predicted male IPV perpetration over and above the women's perpetration of violence toward him, while women's alcohol use did not significantly predict male-to-female IPV perpetration. Implications for teaching emotion-regulation strategies to male partners of women with an AUD to cope with partner drinking are discussed.
本研究探讨了男性对患有酒精使用障碍（AUD）的女性伴侣饮酒行为的回避应对方式是否会与男性实施亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的较高水平相关。在美国一个城市地区，对109名患有AUD的女性及其男性伴侣进行了评估，使用冲突策略量表评估男性实施轻微和严重暴力的情况，使用配偶行为问卷评估男性的回避应对方式，并使用时间线回溯访谈评估男性和女性的饮酒行为。通过多元回归分析，结果表明，男性使用回避应对方式在预测男性实施IPV方面具有显著意义，超出了女性对其实施暴力的情况，而女性的酒精使用并不能显著预测男性对女性实施的IPV。本文讨论了对患有AUD的女性的男性伴侣进行情绪调节策略教学以应对伴侣饮酒问题的意义。
