The cognitive correlates of anger arousal were investigated in community-based samples of maritally violent (MV), maritally distressed-nonviolent (DNV), and maritally satisfied-nonviolent (SNV) husbands. Participants performed the Articulated Thoughts in Simulated Situations (ATSS) paradigm while listening to anger-arousing audiotapes. Trained raters coded for irrational beliefs, cognitive biases, hostile attributional biases, and anger control statements. Results indicated that MV men articulated significantly more irrational thoughts and cognitive biases than DNV and SNV men. MV men articulated more hostile attributional biases than DNV and SNV men across all ATSS scenarios. SNV men, however, articulated more anger control statements during ATSS anger arousal than MV or DNV participants. Discriminant function analyses indicated that specific thoughts discriminated between the groups and differentiated mildly from severely violent participants. ATSS cognitive distortions (a) were not correlated with questionnaire measures of cognitive distortion, and (b) were superior to questionnaire measures in discriminating between the groups. The findings are interpreted in light of recent advances in understanding the relationship between information processing, anger, and marital aggression.
在以社区为基础的样本中,对婚姻暴力(MV)、婚姻困扰但非暴力(DNV)以及婚姻满意且非暴力(SNV)的丈夫进行了愤怒唤起的认知相关因素调查。参与者在听愤怒唤起录音带时执行模拟情境中的清晰思维(ATSS)范式。经过培训的评分员对非理性信念、认知偏差、敌意归因偏差和愤怒控制陈述进行编码。结果表明,MV男性比DNV和SNV男性表达出显著更多的非理性思维和认知偏差。在所有ATSS情境中,MV男性比DNV和SNV男性表达出更多的敌意归因偏差。然而,在ATSS愤怒唤起期间,SNV男性比MV或DNV参与者表达出更多的愤怒控制陈述。判别函数分析表明,特定思维能够区分不同组,并且能够轻微区分轻度和重度暴力参与者。ATSS认知扭曲(a)与认知扭曲的问卷测量不相关,(b)在区分不同组方面优于问卷测量。根据在理解信息处理、愤怒和婚姻攻击之间关系方面的最新进展对研究结果进行了解释。
