Marital violence researchers have generally used the terms anger and hostility interchangeably. However, there are important differences between anger and hostility that may be vital to understanding the relationship between these constructs and marital violence. The present manuscript highlights the advantages of distinguishing between anger and hostility. In order to investigate the role of anger and hostility in marital violence, we provide a comprehensive review of 26 empirical studies in addition to critically examining researchers' definitions of anger and hostility and the methods of assessment utilized in this body of research. While many researchers have presented data suggesting that maritally violent men are higher in anger and hostility than maritally nonviolent men, the findings are not consistent and vary in accordance with the construct assessed and the assessment strategy used.
婚姻暴力研究者通常将愤怒和敌意这两个术语互换使用。然而，愤怒和敌意之间存在重要差异，这对于理解这些概念与婚姻暴力之间的关系可能至关重要。本手稿强调了区分愤怒和敌意的优势。为了探究愤怒和敌意在婚姻暴力中的作用，我们除了批判性地审视研究人员对愤怒和敌意的定义以及该研究领域所采用的评估方法之外，还对26项实证研究进行了全面综述。虽然许多研究人员提供的数据表明，婚姻暴力男性比非婚姻暴力男性的愤怒和敌意程度更高，但研究结果并不一致，且会因所评估的概念和所使用的评估策略而有所不同。
