Efforts designed to investigate the effects of recent alcohol use on the perception of intimate partner aggression have been stultified by significant financial and logistical barriers that warrant the development of supplemental research methods that may result in more prolific investigation of the phenomenon.
The current study explored the viability of using online crowdsourcing to assess the effects of recent alcohol use on the perception of partner aggression.
Mechanical Turk was used to recruit a convenience sample of 60 males who were asked to provide information on their own use of partner aggression, their most recent episode of alcohol use, and their perception of the behaviors and characters depicted in a written partner aggression vignette. Data were evaluated using five separate hierarchical multiple regression models predicting participant perception.
Analyses revealed that 35% of the sample had used partner aggression in the past year and that 22% of the sample had consumed alcohol in the past day. Nonviolent participants perceived the aggressor and the behavior more negatively than partner violent participants. Some indicators revealed that recent alcohol use was associated with more positive perceptions of partner aggression.
Expected associations among prior partner aggression, recent alcohol use, and perception of partner aggression vignettes were observed. Crowdsourcing may represent a source for data evaluating the effects of recent alcohol use on perceptions of aggression. Methodological refinement will benefit research and, ultimately, clinical prevention and intervention.
旨在调查近期饮酒对亲密伴侣攻击感知影响的研究工作因财务和后勤方面的重大障碍而受阻，这就需要开发补充研究方法，以便更深入地研究这一现象。
本研究探讨了利用在线众包来评估近期饮酒对伴侣攻击感知影响的可行性。
使用 Mechanical Turk 招募了 60 名男性作为便利样本，要求他们提供有关自己使用伴侣攻击、最近一次饮酒以及对书面伴侣攻击事例中描述的行为和特征的感知信息。使用五个独立的分层多重回归模型来评估数据，预测参与者的感知。
分析显示，35%的样本在过去一年中使用过伴侣攻击，22%的样本在过去一天中饮酒。非暴力参与者比伴侣暴力参与者对攻击者和行为的看法更为负面。一些指标显示，近期饮酒与对伴侣攻击的更积极看法有关。
观察到了先前的伴侣攻击、近期饮酒与伴侣攻击事例感知之间的预期关联。众包可能成为评估近期饮酒对攻击感知影响的数据来源。方法的改进将有利于研究，最终有利于临床预防和干预。
