“…Specific changes in anger were also examined by producing an anger summary score with the five adjectives "angry," "hostile," "irritable," "disgusted," and "annoyed." This is consistent with past research examining IPA Eckhardt, Jamison, & Watts, 2002;Maldonado, DiLillo, & Hoffman, 2014). These adjectives have been shown to form a distinguishable anger factor when negative mood adjectives are factor analyzed (e.g., Watson & Clark, 1992).…”

“…However, prior research examining rates of IPA over six months among university students has found much higher rates than found here (e.g., 50.7% to 58.9% and 28.8%; Watkins, Maldonado, & DiLillo, in press;Maldonado et al, 2014). It seems likely that the comparatively low rates found here are due to the extensive exclusion criteria of the current study.…”

“…Scott et al (2014) found that individuals who were instructed to use reappraisal allocated less hot sauce to a confederate than individuals who were instructed to suppress. Maldonado et al (2014) found that IPA perpetrators instructed to use reappraisal articulated fewer aggressive verbalizations than did non IPA perpetrators. Both of these studies had participants reappraise an emotional stimulus, such as thinking about a negative event in a more positive way, whereas the current study used reappraisal through perspective taking.…”

Intimate partner aggression (IPA) is a serious national health concern that affects an alarming number of individuals and can lead to substantial psychological and physical suffering. Situational risk factors that arise in the immediate context of IPA reflect statelike influences that trigger aggression. Because these factors are more variable and fluctuate according to the situation, they are potentially promising targets for prevention and intervention efforts (e.g., through cognitive and behavioral interventions). Within this realm, two factors in particular appear to play a prominent role in the etiology of IPA: alcohol intoxication and cognitive emotion regulation strategies. In contrast to prior correlational work, the present study experimentally manipulated alcohol consumption and emotion regulatory strategies to assess their individual and combined effects on IPA, which was measured both observationally and through self-report. It was expected that both alcohol intoxication and anger rumination would increase IPA perpetration, whereas reappraisal would result in decreased IPA perpetration. Further, intoxication and emotion regulation strategies were expected to have interactive effects on IPA perpetration such that rumination would enhance associations between alcohol intoxication and aggression, whereas reappraisal would attenuate the relationship between alcohol and IPA perpetration. Hypotheses for the study were partially supported. Findings show that participants in the alcohol condition generally displayed greater IPA than participants in the placebo condition. Emotion regulation strategy condition was not found to affect IPA. When examining only the effects of alcohol and emotion regulation strategy condition, emotion strategy use did not moderate the relationship between alcohol intoxication and IPA. However, alcohol and emotion regulation strategy conditions were found to interact with trait levels of rumination and reappraisal to predict IPA. The implications of these results, future directions for research, and implications for IPA intervention and prevention strategies are discussed. (Harned, 2002;Straus, 2004).Although most research examining IPA has focused on heterosexual couples, IPA also occurs among heterosexual and same sex couples at similar rates (McClennen, 2005).Further, researchers agree that it is important to systematically examine IPA perpetration among both genders (Holtzworth-Munroe, 2005;Johnson, 2006;Straus, 2006) and among both heterosexual and same-sex couples (Fahmy & Fradella, 2014;McCLennen, 2005). 3University students are particularly at risk for IPA, with past-year prevalence rates ranging from approximately 20% to 50% (Cogan & Fennell, 2007; Forke, Myers, Catallozzi, & Schwartz, 2008;Riggs & O'Leary, 1996;Straus, 2004 Identifying demographic and dispositional risk factors provides invaluable information on which individuals are more likely to be aggressive towards their partners.However, these risk factors do not provide information about the specific circumsta...

“…Techniques for neurocognitive LP assessment are not limited to the CVLT-II and WCST (Boosman et al, 2014), and it may be possible to develop dynamic assessments in other domains to predict different types of skill acquisition. For example, existing brief intervention-like emotion regulation techniques could be adapted for use as dynamic assessments (Maldonado et al, 2015; Scott et al, 2015; Watkins et al, 2015). Further, proof-of-concept single-session social cognitive training techniques could provide dynamic assessment of theory of mind (Kayser et al, 2006; Sarfati et al, 2000), affect recognition (Combs et al, 2008; Penn & Combs, 2000; Russell et al, 2008; Silver et al, 2004), and social perception (Corrigan & Toomey, 1995).…”

Background The construct, convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity of Learning Potential (LP) was evaluated in a trial of cognitive remediation for adults with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. LP utilizes a dynamic assessment approach to prospectively estimate an individual's learning capacity if provided the opportunity for specific related learning. Methods LP was assessed in 75 participants at study entry, of whom 41 completed an eight-week cognitive remediation (CR) intervention, and 22 received treatment-as-usual (TAU). LP was assessed in a “test-train-test” verbal learning paradigm. Incremental predictive validity was assessed as the degree to which LP predicted memory skill acquisition above and beyond prediction by static verbal learning ability. Results Examination of construct validity confirmed that LP scores reflected use of trained semantic clustering strategy. LP scores correlated with executive functioning and education history, but not other demographics or symptom severity. Following the eight-week active phase, TAU evidenced little substantial change in skill acquisition outcomes, which related to static baseline verbal learning ability but not LP. For the CR group, LP significantly predicted skill acquisition in domains of verbal and visuospatial memory, but not auditory working memory. Furthermore, LP predicted skill acquisition incrementally beyond relevant background characteristics, symptoms, and neurocognitive abilities. Conclusions Results suggest that LP assessment can significantly improve prediction of specific skill acquisition with cognitive training, particularly for the domain assessed, and thereby may prove useful in individualization of treatment.

“…Notwithstanding the harm caused to the victim, IPV results in billions of dollars per year of medical expenses in addition to loss of productivity in the workforce (Karakurt, 2013;Maldonado, DiLillo, & Hoffman, 2015;White & Satyen, 2015;Messings, Thaller, & Bagwell, 2014). Violence that occurs in romantic relationships is extremely evident and rising incidences have garnered much attention, specifically on college campuses (Capezza, Schumacher, & Brady, 2014;Reed, Hines, Armstrong, & Cameron, 2015).…”

Violence between partners, during dating or as a couple, has been under discussion for decades. The numbers of abusive incidents have risen over time in their concurrence and reporting. Multiple studies have confirmed that one in three women will have experienced rape, physical violence, and or stalking by partners within their lifetime. Statistics also show that about one-third, or 32% of college students, in other words, 20-25% overall during their college career, will have experienced sexual assault, dating violence, and or stalking. Use of drugs and alcohol, issues with attachment security troubling, unknown or unspecified mental health conditions, along with other influences from media and peer group, all seem to play a role in the incidences of intimate partner violence (IPV). The current article sheds light on the topic with special reference to the context of college campuses -ways in which IPV unfolds and its possible precursors. Finally, the author reviews the current and emerging prevention and intervention measures that are making distinct efforts in this regard.
