“…James and Seager [ 27 ] investigated whether impulsivity and schemas of a hostile world were good predictors of persistent violence, as measured by assault, in 40 male Canadian prisoners. Using a dichotic shadowing task and social vignettes to assess hypervigilance for hostile words and attributions, it was identified that hostility significantly correlated with a history of persistent violence.…”

Risk assessments identify the presence of a Personality Disorder diagnosis as relevant to future violence. At present, risk assessments focus on the presence of the disorder rather than identifying key traits related to risk. Systematic searches of three databases were conducted from January 2000 until August 2014. Of 92,143, 15 studies met the inclusion criteria. A lack of empirical research was found focusing on individual traits; instead most considered PD diagnosis as a sole entity. A preliminary model has been developed detailing the link between potential interactions of diagnostic traits and risk of violence. Recommendations for future research are made.

“…A schemata has been defined by James and Seager (2006) as a pattern imposed on one's reality or experience to assist in explaining it, mediating perception, or guiding response. Finally, Prager and Solomon (1995) state that if an individual is unable to rebuild their "self system" they may become grounded in the traumatic event relating all subsequent events to the original event.…”

Male firefighters (n = 94) were compared with male workers (n = 91) from a variety of blue-collar, non—emergency service occupations. Responses on the World Assumptions Scale were examined in combination with the Impact of Events Scale—Revised and the Symptom Checklist-90. Initial hypotheses suggested that firefighters would report disrupted world assumptions and that these disrupted assumptions would be linked with greater mental health symptomatology. Results revealed that firefighters were not different from controls on world assumptions and that world assumptions were unrelated to years of service. These results suggest that the psychological reactions of workers exposed to high levels of job-related traumatic stress may not be consistent with that described in previous literature regarding primary victims. Consequently, it is suggested that more research is needed that specifically addresses psychological outcomes for firefighters and other high-trauma occupations. The findings also suggest that benevolence may be particularly important in relation to mental health in firefighters and that this belief may be useful in the prevention of posttraumatic symptomatology.

“…Epps and Kendall (1995) found that undergraduates who made higher attributions of hostile intent scored higher on self-reported anger/aggression measures. Research on prison populations has found that the presence of HAB correlates to the number of violent acts male offenders have committed (James & Seager, 2006) and seems to be related to psychopathy in male offenders (Serin, 1991). Hostile attributional bias has also been identified as a useful predictor of violence in adult psychiatric patients (McNiel, Eisner, & Binder, 2003;Waldheter, Jones, Johnson, & Penn, 2005).…”

Hostile Attributional Bias, Early Abuse, and Social Desirability in Reporting Hostile Attributions Among Chinese Immigrant Batterers and Nonviolent Men

This study examined differences in reporting hostile attributional bias (HAB) between court-referred Chinese immigrant batterers and a nonviolent community sample. It measured social desirability (SD) in their reporting of HAB by including an SD measure and a covert indirect measure of HAB. Further, it explored the relationship between HAB and childhood exposure to violence. The batterers scored lower on the overt measure but higher on the covert measure of HAB. Their scores on the overt measure were negatively correlated with their SD scores. Childhood exposure to violence was positively correlated with HAB among the batterers but not among the nonviolent men. The role of HAB in intimate partner violence needs more research, and future studies and batterer interventions need to consider SD in assessing and addressing HAB.
