“…In addition, several studies of marital behavior have demonstrated that alcohol administration to men increases the extent of negative verbal behavior displayed by the men and their partners (e.g. Jacob & Krahn 1988;Leonard & Roberts 1998).…”

“…Although some early alcohol and sexuality research found significant placebo effects (Abrams & Wilson, 1983;George & Marlatt, 1986), the majority of recent sexuality research has not (Abbey et al, 2000;Fromme, D'Amico, & Katz, 1999;MacDonald, Zanna, & Fong, 1996;Norris & Kerr, 1993). Aggression research also has not found significant placebo effects (Chermack & Giancola, 1997;Leonard & Roberts, 1998). …”

The Effects of Past Sexual Assault Perpetration and Alcohol Consumption on Men's Reactions to Women's Mixed Signals

Theories about misperception of sexual intent, cognitive distortions among rapists, and alcohol's effects on cognition describe processes that may contribute to acquaintance sexual assault. Drawing on these literatures, an experiment was conducted to examine hypotheses about the effects of past sexual assault perpetration and alcohol consumption on 153 college men's reactions to a female confederate. As compared to nonperpetrators, self-acknowledged rapists and verbal coercers reported being more sexually attracted to the confederate. Trained coders were least certain that rapists noticed specific positive and negative cues that the confederate used and most certain that verbal coercers did. Intoxicated participants perceived themselves and their partner as acting more sexually than did sober or placebo participants. Suggestions are discussed for research and treatment programs with college sexual assault perpetrators.Sexual assault is extremely common in the United States and typically occurs between a man and woman who know each other (Brener, McMahon, Warren, & Douglas, 1999; Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1995;Koss, Gidycz, & Wisniewski, 1987;Tjaden & Thoennes, 1998). Most sexual assaults are not reported to the police, and even among those reported, incarceration of the perpetrator is a rare outcome (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1995;Tjaden & Thoennes, 1998). College men frequently acknowledge having committed sexual assault, almost always with women they know in the context of a date or other type of social interaction and often when under the influence of alcohol. Depending on the precise questions asked and the universities sampled, up to 15% of college men reported that they perpetrated an act that met standard legal definitions of attempted or completed rape and up to 57% indicated that they perpetrated some form of sexual assault (Abbey, McAuslan, & Ross, 1998;Koss et al., 1987;Muehlenhard & Linton, 1987;Rapaport & Burkhart, 1984). Rape typically is defined as physically forced oral, anal, or vaginal intercourse and as sexual intercourse that occurs when consent cannot be given because of the victim's age or impaired mental status, which includes intoxication (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1995;Koss, 1992). Sexual assault includes rape, as well as other types of physically forced sexual Address correspondence to Antonia Abbey, Department of Community Medicine, Wayne State University, 4201 St. Antoine, Detroit, MI 48201. aabbey@med.wayne.edu.

“…During the same period, researchers from a variety of disciplines have repeatedly found that domestic violence is influenced by a much wider range of factors (Elliott, 1977;Rounsaville, 1978;Straus, 1973). Violence between intimates and family members stems from a complex of etiological processes with neurological (Dutton, 2001;Meloy, 1992;Schore, 2003a,b), psychological (Dutton, 2002;Dutton & Holtzworth-Munroe, 1997a,b;Dutton, Saunders, Starzomski, & Bartholomew, 1994;Dutton & Starzomski, 1993;Hamberger & Hastings, 1991;Holtzworth-Munroe, Bates, Smutzler, & Sandin, 1997;Holtzworth-Munroe, Stuart, & Hutchinson, 1997), interpersonal (Jacobson et al, 1994;Leonard & Roberts, 1998;Margolin, John, & Gleberman, 1989), situational (Eckhardt, Barbour, & Davis, 1998;Fagan, 1989;Fagan, Stewart, & Hansen, 1983), and cultural influences (Archer, 2005;Dutton, 1985). The etiology of intimate partner violence has been found to have long term development (Dutton, 2000(Dutton, , 2002 stemming from early family influences such as witnessed violence (Dutton, 2000;Egland, 1993), shaming (Dutton, Starzomski, & Ryan, 1996;Dutton, Swanson, van Ginkel, & Starzomski, in press), and trauma (Dutton & Holtzworth-Munroe, 1997a,b).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) continues to be social problem in the United States. Unfortunately, legislation aimed at solving the problem has been based on models of IPV that are not empirically supported. One example is "psychoeducational" intervention models legislated by the courts in many states. These models eschew psychological treatment even of empirically established factors supporting habits of intimate abusiveness. They have, in effect, removed a psychology of abusiveness from intervention and replaced it with a gender political model. In contrast to this model, research from several longitudinal peer cohort studies shows that a propensity for IPV is predictable in both genders during adolescence. Yet treatment or prevention of psychological risk factors is either neglected or negatively legislated. This paper reviews the prevailing criminal justice intervention model, provides examples of how the paradigm supporting this model distorts interpretation of research and compares this flawed research with methodologically superior studies suggesting a different and potentially more effective approach.
