“…McCarroll also found that the active duty females married to civilian males had the highest risk of becoming a victim of unilateral abuse compared to both active duty males married to civilian females and dual military couples. Two earlier clinical studies (Cantos, Neidig, & O'Leary, 1994;Langhinrichsen-Rohling, Neidig, & Thorn, 1995) of active duty personnel with civilian spouses found high rates (e.g., 83%) of bidirectional violence among the couples. However, the findings did not differentiate active duty males from active duty females.…”

A sample of 248 enlisted active duty females married to civilian spouses completed a self-report survey that asked about their own and their spouse's violence. The survey also asked about their sex-role attitudes, marital satisfaction, alcohol use, childhood trauma, and depression. Results identifi ed patterns of intimate partner violence and their relationship to the psychosocial risk factors. Females experiencing severe bidirectional violence were likely to be the most depressed and to have a history of child sexual abuse. Females experiencing minor bidirectional violence did not share any of the psychosocial risk factors found for severe bidirectional violence. Females perpetrating unilateral violence toward their spouses were found to be as satisfi ed in their marriages as nonviolent couples and less depressed than the females experiencing bidirectional violence.

“…However, several studies indicate that females are as likely to use aggressive behaviours as males (Afifi et al, 2010;Cantos et al 1994;Korman et al, 2008;Straus, 2008;Swan et al 2008). While some suggest reciprocal, or bi-directional, IPV is more common than a consistent pattern wherein one person is either the victim or the perpetrator of violence (Korman et al, 2008), conceptual (Stark,2009) and measurement concerns favour gender asymmetry (Taft et al 2001).…”

There exists only a small number of empirical studies investigating the patterns of family violence in problem gambling populations, although some evidence exists that intimate partner violence and child abuse are among the most severe interpersonal correlates of problem gambling. The current article reports on the Australian arm of a large-scale study of the patterns and prevalence of co-occurrence of family violence and problem gambling in Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. The current study screened 120 help-seeking family members of problem gamblers in a range of clinical services for both family violence and problem gambling. The main results showed that 52.5% reported some form of family violence in the past 12 months: 20.0% reported only victimisation, 10.8% reported only perpetration and 21.6% reported both victimisation and perpetration of family violence. Parents, current and ex-partners were most likely to be both perpetrators and victims of family violence. There were no gender differences in reciprocal violence but females were more likely to be only victims and less likely to report no violence in comparison to males. Most of the 32 participants interviewed in depth, reported that gambling generally preceded family violence. The findings suggest that perpetration of family violence was more likely to occur as a reaction to deeply-rooted and accumulated anger and mistrust whereas victimisation was an outcome of gambler's anger brought on by immediate gambling losses and frustration. While multiple and intertwined negative family impacts were likely to occur in the presence of family violence, gambling-related coping strategies were not associated with the presence or absence of family violence. The implications of the findings for service providers are discussed.

“…Hamby and Sugarman (1999) proposed that males might be more apt to use "malicious" tactics (e.g., belittling partner) while females might be more likely to endorse "minor tactics (e.g., swearing at partner). Studies have suggested that female-to-male aggression tends to be less severe (less likely to produce injury) (Archer, 2000;Cantos et al, 1994;Cascardi et al, 1992), that women experience greater fear in conflict situations (Jacobson et al, 1994), and that female-to-male aggression is more defensive in nature (Jacobson et al, 1994). Thus, future studies should examine more specifically types of aggressive behaviors and their consequences, including measurement of emotional and motivational factors associated with various forms of aggression.…”

This study examined intimate partner aggression in a sample of 489 participants enrolled in substance use disorder treatment, and expands on prior research by including measures of various forms of aggression, a mixed gender sample (76% men, 24% women), and measurement of several potential risk domains. Aggression measures included both participant-to-partner and partner-to-participant psychological aggression, physical aggression and injury. Analyses focused on the role of distal and proximal risk factors, including demographics, history of childhood physical and sexual abuse, and family history of problems with alcohol, drugs and depression, as well as recent substance use and symptoms of depression. Overall rates of participant-to-partner psychological aggression (77%), physical aggression (54%) and injuring partners (33%) were high, as were rates of partner-to-participant psychological aggression (73%), physical aggression (51%), and injury (33%). Several distal (family history variables, physical abuse) and proximal factors (binge drinking, several different drugs, depressive symptoms) were bivariately related to most of the aggression measures. However, according to multivariate analyses predicting aggression and injury measures, binge drinking and cocaine use were the drugs significantly associated with most measures, depression symptoms also were related to most aggression and injury measures, and a history of reported childhood physical abuse was related to all frequency of aggression and injury measures among those reporting such behaviors. Overall, the high rates of aggression among both men and women observed in this study further illustrate the need for interventions targeting substance use and aggression, and for further research regarding the interrelationships among substance, aggression and depressive symptoms.
