Hazardous alcohol use is a common problem among survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), although not all women who experience IPV exhibit hazardous alcohol use. Recent research has suggested that 1 factor that may influence hazardous alcohol use is temperament, although this has not yet been examined in the context of IPV.
In this study, we examine the main and moderating effects of temperament traits (constraint, negative emotionality, and positive emotionality) on the association between IPV and hazardous alcohol use in a sample of young adult women (N = 654) using a Bayesian approach to multiple linear regression.
Results indicated that each temperament trait incrementally predicted hazardous alcohol use over and above the effects of IPV and other negative life events. Results further indicated that both negative emotionality and positive emotionality moderated the influence of IPV on hazardous alcohol use such that IPV was positively associated with hazardous alcohol use at high levels of these traits but not at low levels.
Study findings extend previous research on the effects of temperament traits to the context of IPV, underscoring the importance of including temperament in the assessment of IPV survivors. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).
在亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）幸存者中，危险饮酒是一个常见问题，尽管并非所有经历过 IPV 的女性都表现出危险饮酒行为。最近的研究表明，1 个可能影响危险饮酒的因素是气质，但这在 IPV 背景下尚未得到检验。
在这项研究中，我们使用贝叶斯多元线性回归方法，在 654 名年轻成年女性样本中，检验气质特征（克制、负性情绪和正性情绪）对 IPV 与危险饮酒之间关联的主要和调节作用。
结果表明，每个气质特征都在 IPV 和其他负面生活事件的影响之外，逐步预测危险饮酒。结果进一步表明，负性情绪和正性情绪都调节了 IPV 对危险饮酒的影响，即 IPV 与这些特质的高水平相关，而与低水平无关。
研究结果将气质特征对 IPV 背景下的影响扩展到以前的研究，强调在评估 IPV 幸存者时，包括气质的重要性。
