“…Interpersonal variables include bidirectional couple violence, relationship power dynamics, relationship problem-solving skills, other relationship variables, and experiences of current or recent extrarelational violence. Research has consistently documented that DV victimization is positively correlated with, and predictive of, both young men’s and women’s DV perpetration (Baker & Stith, 2008; Capaldi & Crosby, 1997; Capaldi, Kim & Shortt, 2007; Chen & White, 2004; Dardis et al, 2013; Edwards et al, 2009; Follette & Alexander, 1992; Hendy, Burns, Can, & Scherer, 2011; Luthra & Gidycz, 2006; Magdol et al, 1997; O’Keefe, 1997). Two studies have found a stronger relationship between DV victimization and perpetration for women compared to men (Dardis et al, 2013; Herrera, Wiersma, & Cleveland, 2008).…”

This article provides a review of the literature on dating violence (DV) perpetration, specifically sex similarities and differences in the correlates and predictors of DV perpetration and the utility of current theories to explain young men's and women's DV perpetration. Overall, many of the correlates and predictors of DV perpetration are similar among young men and women (e.g., witnessing interparental violence, experiencing child abuse, alcohol abuse, traditional gender roles, relationship power dynamics). However, young women's perpetration of DV is more strongly related to internalizing symptoms (e.g., depression), trait anger and hostility, and experiencing DV victimization than young men's perpetration, whereas young men's perpetration of DV is more consistently related to lower socioeconomic status and educational attainment, antisocial personality characteristics, and increased relationship length than young women's perpetration. Each theory offers insights into but does not fully account for the correlates and predictors of DV perpetration. Sociocultural theories may be useful in explaining the use of coercive control in relationships, and learning/intergenerational transmission of violence theories may be useful in explaining bidirectional couple violence. Future research should focus on integrative theories, such as in the social-ecological theory, in order to explain various forms of DV. Our understanding of young men's and young women's DV perpetration is limited by cross-sectional research designs, methodological inconsistencies, a lack of sex-specific analytic approaches, and a lack of focus on contextual factors; more multivariate and longitudinal studies are needed. Further, as DV prevention programming is often presented in mixed-sex formats, a critical understanding of sex differences and similarities in DV perpetration could ultimately refine and improve effectiveness of programming efforts aimed at reducing DV.

“…According to social learning theory (Bandura, 1977), the mother would have two characteristics that would make her a significant model for violence: she is a 'powerful other' within the home, and she is probably the 'most frequent model' of conflict resolution style experienced by the Turkish police officer during development. This pattern of results was also found for samples of American and Turkish college students for whom violence received from the mother was a significant predictor of romantic partner violence (Akin et al, 2015;Hendy et al, 2003Hendy et al, , 2012.…”

Social learning theory suggests that displays of violence in close relationships would be increased for individuals exposed to family models of violence, especially from parents. Because police officers may regard their departments as a second 'family,' violence shown by the 'father figure' police supervisor may be a significant model for violence, as recent research has found for American police officers. The police supervisor might also be expected to be a powerful model for violence because Turkish police officers serve in a male-dominated workplace in a largely male-dominated society. This study examined how violence reported by Turkish police officers in their close relationships (toward romantic partners, toward police partners) was explained by parental models from the 'home family' (father-to-mother, mother-to-father, father-to-participant, mother-to-participant) and from the 'police family' (supervisor-to-participant). Study participants included 233 Turkish police officers (96% male; 66% under 30 years of age; 6.9 mean years of service) who completed anonymous questionnaires to report violence in each relationship using the six-item subscale of the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the set of 'home family' and 'police family' parental models explained 42% of variance in romantic partner violence and 74% of variance in police partner aggression. Violence from the police supervisor was the most consistent and significant model, perhaps because the police supervisor was a new and powerful 'father figure' for the relatively young officers of the present study. Violence received from the mother was also associated with increased risk of police partner violence, perhaps because mothers were the officers' primary caretakers during childhood, making their style of conflict resolution the most prevalent parental model. Employee assistance programs to encourage 'Peace in the Family' for Turkish police officers may require participation by police supervisors, who must model non-violent conflict resolution in their departments.

“…Although this available evidence suggests an independent adverse effect from sibling abuse, the long-term effects are likely to emerge as a function of many incompletely understood modulating factors. For example, Hendy, Burns, Can, and Scherer (2012) found that sibling abuse predicted later partner violence for the women, but not men, in their sample.…”
