The purpose of the study was to explore how negative self-schemas and partner attachments were related to the experience and expression of anger (i.e., trait anger, inward and outward expression of anger) in a sample of male batterers (n = 40) who participated in court-mandated group services. They completed the Experience in Close Relationships (ECR), the Young Schema Questionnaire-2 (YSQ-2), the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-2 (STAXI-2), and a demographic sheet. Male batterers who experienced pervasive anger (i.e., trait anger) tended to experience negative self-schemas associated with the Impaired Limits domain (respecting the rights of others, insufficient self-control, entitlement). Male batterers who tended to suppress their anger tended to feel avoidantly attached to their romantic partner and endorsed negative self-schemas associated with the Disconnection and Rejection domain (abandonment, emotional deprivation, defectiveness/shame). Implications for clinical practice with male offenders and future research are discussed.
本研究旨在探讨消极的自我图式和伴侣依恋与愤怒体验和表达(即特质愤怒、愤怒的内隐和外显表达)之间的关系,研究对象为参与法庭强制小组服务的男性施暴者(n=40)。他们完成了亲密关系体验问卷(ECR)、年轻图式问卷-2(YSQ-2)、状态特质愤怒表达问卷-2(STAXI-2)和一份人口统计表格。经历普遍愤怒(即特质愤怒)的男性施暴者往往会体验到与受限损害领域相关的消极自我图式(尊重他人的权利、自我控制不足、权利感)。倾向于压抑愤怒的男性施暴者往往对其浪漫伴侣感到回避依恋,并认同与断开连接和拒绝领域相关的消极自我图式(抛弃、情感剥夺、缺陷/羞耻)。讨论了这些发现对男性罪犯的临床实践和未来研究的意义。
