Impulsivity, Anger, and Anger Regulation in Violent Dating Relationships
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the relations of impulsivity as a personality trait, anger and anger regulation assessed by STAXI and NAS to violence in dating relationships. The participants were 543 Korean adults (219 males and 324 females) who had the experience of heterosexual dating relationship, whose ages ranged from 18 to 59. The psychological tests used in this research included the following: Straus' Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS), Eysenck Personality Scale (EPS), Spielberger's State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI), The Novaco Anger Scale (NAS). Results revealed that male subjects reported more frequently experience of receiving dating violence than female did. People with experience of both inflicting and receiving of dating violence showed higher anger scores as well as more stronger impulsivity than those who never experienced it and the only victims. They revealed higher trait anger and anger-out in STAXI than those who never experienced it. In NAS, although they were cognitively more suspicious than others, there were remarkable differences on behavior and arousal domain. In addition, it was found that significant relationship between cognitive domain of anger and male's inflicting dating violence only. Anger-out in STAXI and indirect anger expression in NAS accounted for the most variance of inflicting and receiving dating violence. STAXI and NAS accounted for almost same level of the variance of inflicting dating violence, and NAS accounted little more for the variance of receiving it. The present findings suggest the useful information for prevention and intervention of violence in intimate relationships.
