  • Title: Psychosocial modifiers of psychopathology for domestically violent and nonviolent men.
    Author: Hastings JE, Hamberger LK.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1994 Feb; 74(1):112-4. PubMed ID: 8153199.
    Abstract:
    Personality characteristics of 99 domestically violent and 71 nonviolent men were studied, using the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory and controlling for premorbid history. Men with poor premorbid backgrounds from 3 groups (ns = 66, 12, and 23) showed more elevations on the Millon inventory than men with good premorbid backgrounds (ns = 33, 20, and 48). However, over-all, batterers showed more Millon elevations than nonviolent men. These findings point to the need to control psychosocial variables when studying personality characteristics of batterers.
