“…This finding is supportive of Baron et al's (2007) work, which looked at hostility and relational adjustment concurrently. Roberts (2000), Pasch and Bradbury (1998), and Baron et al (2007) all studied general populations, not therapy populations. The results from their work, and that of Gottman (1993Gottman ( , 1994, would suggest that left unchecked, relational adjustment and hostility are interrelated and have potentially negative consequences for relationships.…”

“…Some of the most widely recognised theories include socio-cultural theories, i.e., feminist theory (Dobash and Dobash, 1977;Walker, 1984;Yllo, 1988), power theory (Straus, 1976;Straus, 1977) and social learning theory (Bandura, 1971;Bandura, 1973). Psychological perspectives in theories of IPV have focused on the various factors that affect the individual perpetrator (or the victim) such as psychopathology and personality (e.g., Dutton, 2006;Ehrensaft et al, 2006); attachment issues (e.g., Bartholomew and Horowitz, 1991;Fraley and Shaver, 2000); anger/hostility (e.g., Baron et al, 2007;Holtzworth-Munroe and Rehman, 2000); self-esteem (e.g., Murphy et al, 2005;Papadakaki et al, 2009); and substance and alcohol abuse (e.g., Boles and Miotto, 2003;Fals-Stewart, 2003).…”

“…In some studies, the relationship between muscle weakness and pain intensity and also that between the muscle cross-sectional area and inability resulting from low back pain has been proven [27], and body muscle dysfunction is acceptable as a cause of low back pain continuity. Even low back pain resulting from psychological states, such as anxiety or anger, has muscle tension and stress, and by decreasing the psychological pressure, the tension and stress will be reduced [28]. traditional Iranian medicine explains this issue as a sudden loss of material in muscles.…”
