Anger is an empirically established precipitant to aggressive responding toward intimate partners. The current investigation examined the effects of anger, as experienced by both partners, as well as gender and previous aggression, on in vivo intimate-partner aggression (IPA) using a prospective daily diary methodology. Participants (N = 118 couples) individually provided 56 consecutive, daily reports of affective experience and partner aggression. Multilevel models were estimated using the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) framework to analyze the daily associations between anger and partner-aggression perpetration among participating men and women, as moderated by aggression history. Results revealed that both actor and partner anger were generally associated with subsequently reported daily conflict. Further, increases in daily partner anger were associated with corresponding increases in partner aggression among both women who reported high levels of anger and men, regardless of their own anger experience. Increases in actor anger were associated with increases in daily partner aggression only among previously aggressive women. Previously aggressive men and women consistently reported greater perpetration than their nonaggressive counterparts on days of high levels of actors' anger experiences. Results emphasize the importance of both actor and partner factors in partner aggression and suggest that female anger may be a stronger predictor of both female-to-male and male-to-female partner aggression than male anger, when measured at the daily level.
愤怒是一种经实证确定的对亲密伴侣产生攻击性行为的诱发因素。当前的调查使用前瞻性每日日记法,研究了双方所体验到的愤怒以及性别和过往攻击行为对现实生活中亲密伴侣攻击行为(IPA)的影响。参与者(N = 118对夫妻)各自连续56天每日报告情感体验和伴侣攻击行为。使用行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型(APIM)框架估计多层次模型,以分析参与研究的男性和女性中愤怒与伴侣攻击行为实施之间的日常关联,并以攻击历史作为调节因素。结果显示,行为者和伴侣的愤怒通常都与随后报告的日常冲突相关。此外,日常伴侣愤怒的增加与报告高愤怒水平的女性以及男性的伴侣攻击行为相应增加相关,无论他们自身的愤怒体验如何。行为者愤怒的增加仅与之前有攻击行为的女性的日常伴侣攻击行为增加相关。在行为者愤怒体验水平较高的日子里,之前有攻击行为的男性和女性始终比无攻击行为的同伴报告有更多的攻击行为实施。结果强调了行为者和伴侣因素在伴侣攻击行为中的重要性,并表明在每日层面进行测量时,女性愤怒可能比男性愤怒更能预测女性对男性和男性对女性的伴侣攻击行为。
