Affect, Verbal Content, and Psychophysiology in the Arguments of Couples with a Violent Husband.
Jacobson, Neil S.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v62 n5 p982-88 Oct 1994
Studied affect, psychophysiology, and verbal content of arguments in 60 couples with violent husband. Found that no wife behaviors successfully suppressed husband violence once it began; husband violence escalated in response to nonviolent and violent wife behaviors. Both battering husbands and their wives were angrier than their maritally distressed but nonviolent counterparts (n=32). (Author/NB)
