The present study compared male spouse abusers, with and without alcohol problems, with age-matched, nonabusive males on measures of personality style, personality disorder, dysphoria, and a number of demographic measures. There were no differences among the groups in racial composition, religious preference, or religious devoutness. Male abusers were less likely to be employed, to be in intact relationships, and were less well educated. They were more likely to have witnessed abuse or experienced abuse as children, although that observation is more characteristic of abusers with alcohol problems. Measures of personality and psychopathology generally supported the hypothesis that abusive males would show greater elevations on test scales reflecting personality disorder and dysphoria and less conformity than nonbatterers. Alcohol abuse was related to greater batterer-nonbatterer differences. Implications of these findings and methodological concerns for future research are discussed.
本研究将有酗酒问题和无酗酒问题的男性配偶虐待者与年龄匹配的非虐待男性在人格风格、人格障碍、烦躁不安以及一些人口统计学指标方面进行了比较。各组在种族构成、宗教偏好或宗教虔诚度方面没有差异。男性虐待者就业的可能性较小，维持完整关系的可能性较小，受教育程度也较低。他们更有可能在童年时目睹过虐待或经历过虐待，不过这种情况在有酗酒问题的虐待者中更为常见。人格和精神病理学指标总体上支持了这样一种假设，即与非施虐者相比，虐待男性在反映人格障碍和烦躁不安的测试量表上得分会更高，且从众性更低。酒精滥用与施虐者和非施虐者之间的差异更大有关。讨论了这些发现的意义以及对未来研究的方法学关注。
