“…The finding that acute alcohol intoxication is associated with increased partner-directed aggression is consistent with broader research on the association between alcohol misuse and IPA (for reviews, see Cafferky et al, 2018; Eckhardt et al, in press). Our tests of both between- and within-subjects effects support articulated aggressive cognitions as a significant mediator of alcohol-facilitated IPA perpetration.…”

“…The effect size of alcohol on IPA is moderate (for a review, see Cafferky et al, 2018), prior laboratory findings involving the acute effects of alcohol on negative interaction behaviors among violent couples did not replicate (Testa, Crane, Quigley, Levitt, & Leonard, 2014), and the effects are dependent on myriad moderating risk factors (Foran & O’Leary, 2008; Stith, Smith, Penn, Ward, & Tritt, 2004). The overall pattern of data suggests that additional laboratory studies are needed to actually demonstrate the acute effects of alcohol intoxication on IPA-related outcomes given the small number of carefully controlled alcohol-administration studies, particularly from samples at high risk for alcohol-facilitated IPA (Eckhardt, Parrott, & Massa, in press).…”

In this multisite study, we examined whether aggressive cognitions and facial displays of negative affect and anger experienced during provocation mediated the association between alcohol intoxication and intimate-partner aggression (IPA). Participants were 249 heavy drinkers (148 men, 101 women) with a recent history of IPA perpetration. Participants were randomly assigned to an alcohol or no-alcohol control-beverage condition and completed a shock-based aggression task involving apparent provocation by their intimate partner. During provocation, a hidden camera recorded participants’ facial expressions and verbal articulations, which were later coded using the Facial Action Coding System and the Articulated Thoughts in Simulated Situations paradigm. Results indicated that the positive association between alcohol intoxication and partner-directed physical aggression was mediated by participants’ aggressive cognitions but not by negative affect or anger facial expressions. These findings implicate aggressogenic cognitions as a mediating mechanism underlying the association between the acute effects of alcohol and IPA perpetration.
