“…These findings lend continued support to the idea that alcohol use needs to be targeted in dating violence intervention and prevention programs (Shorey et al, 2011), which has received scant attention in these programs to date (Shorey et al, 2012). In addition, our findings suggest that such interventions may have the greatest impact on reducing violence if they focus their intervention efforts on men with low anger management and/or high trait anger.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Research demonstrates alcohol temporally precedes and increases the odds of violence between intimate partners. However, despite an extensive theoretical literature on factors that likely moderate the relationship between alcohol and dating violence, minimal empirical research has examined such moderators. Method: The purpose of the present study was to examine two potential moderators of this association: trait anger and partner-specific anger management. Undergraduate men (N = 67) who had consumed alcohol within the past month and were in current dating relationships completed a baseline assessment of their trait anger and partner-specific anger management skills and subsequently completed daily assessments of their alcohol use and violence perpetration (psychological, physical, and sexual) for up to 90 consecutive days. Results: Alcohol was significantly associated with increased odds of physical aggression among men with relatively high but not low trait anger and partner-specific anger management deficits. In contrast, alcohol was significantly associated with increased odds of sexual aggression among men with relatively low trait anger and partner-specific anger management deficits. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate important differences in the roles of acute intoxication and anger management in the risk of physical aggression and sexual dating violence. Interventions for dating violence may benefit from targeting both alcohol and adaptive anger management skills. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 78, 313-318, 2017)

“…For instance, interventions such as cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches have both demonstrated effectiveness in increasing adaptive emotion regulation skills (e.g., Goldin and Gross 2010). Moreover, these types of interventions are often conducted in group settings, which are most typically employed for IPV intervention programs (Shorey et al 2012). Therefore, these types of interventions, which have been previously discussed as potentially innovative interventions for IPV (Shorey et al 2012), may potentially reduce the risk for negative affect leading to aggression, particularly for physical aggression.…”

Emotion Regulation Moderates the Association Between Proximal Negative Affect and Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration

Negative affect is a central component of many theories of aggressive behavior. Though understudied, it is likely that proximal negative affect increases the odds of aggression perpetration when individuals have poor emotion regulation, but not when individuals have more adaptive emotion regulation. Thus, the current study examined (1) the proximal effect of various indicators of negative affect (e.g., anger, hostility, depression) on intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and (2) whether poor emotion regulation moderated these associations. For up to 90 consecutive days, male college students (N = 67) in a current dating relationship completed daily surveys on their negative affect and IPV perpetration. Results demonstrated that emotion regulation moderated many of the associations between proximal negative affect and physical aggression perpetration, such that negative affect was associated with increased odds of violence when poor emotion regulation was high but not low. This is the first study to demonstrate the moderating role of emotion regulation in the link between proximal negative affect and IPV perpetration. As such, these findings have important implications for existing theories of IPV and emotion regulation and suggest that interventions may effectively reduce IPV by targeting emotion regulation.

“…Due to the high prevalence and detrimental health consequences, effective dating violence prevention strategies are urgently needed. Overall, there is limited research on prevention and intervention strategies to address the issue of dating violence in college populations (DeGue et al, 2014;Shorey et al, 2012).…”

“…The community approach of the bystander intervention model reduces potential defensiveness or resistance to dating violence prevention messages and enhances motivation to engage in prevention efforts (Banyard et al, 2007). Training is used to change participants' attitudes and enable helping behaviors and direct intervention (Shorey et al, 2012). Bystander programs are grounded in individual and community health behavior change theories (Banyard, 2014;Banyard et al, 2004;Bennett, Banyard, & Garnhart, 2014;Casey & Lindhorst, 2009;McMahon & Banyard, 2012).…”

Dating violence is a serious and prevalent public health problem that is associated with numerous negative physical and psychological health outcomes, and yet there has been limited evaluation of prevention programs on college campuses. A recent innovation in campus prevention focuses on mobilizing bystanders to take action. To date, bystander programs have mainly been compared with no treatment control groups raising questions about what value is added to dating violence prevention by focusing on bystanders. This study compared a single 90-min bystander education program for dating violence prevention with a traditional awareness education program, as well as with a no education control group. Using a quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design with follow-up at 2 months, a sample of predominately freshmen college students was randomized to either the bystander ( n = 369) or traditional awareness ( n = 376) dating violence education program. A non-randomized control group of freshmen students who did not receive any education were also surveyed ( n = 224). Students completed measures of attitudes, including rape myth acceptance, bystander efficacy, and intent to help as well as behavioral measures related to bystander action and victimization. Results showed that the bystander education program was more effective at changing attitudes, beliefs, efficacy, intentions, and self-reported behaviors compared with the traditional awareness education program. Both programs were significantly more effective than no education. The findings of this study have important implications for future dating violence prevention educational programming, emphasizing the value of bystander education programs for primary dating violence prevention among college students.
