Abstract

Objective: This study investigated the impact of relational provocation on intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration as a function of alcohol intoxication and individuals' emotion differentiation (ED; i.e., the ability to differentiate between positive and negative emotions). We hypothesized that provocation and acute intoxication would be associated with lower ED, such that individuals would demonstrate lower ED following provocation and while intoxicated. We also hypothesized an intoxication-by-ED interaction, such that only individuals who were intoxicated and undifferentiated would perpetrate IPV.

Method: Two hundred fifty community-based adults completed an aggression paradigm ostensibly with their romantic partners where they were randomly assigned to an alcohol or no-alcohol condition. Participants' ED across positive and negative subscales was calculated at baseline (Time 1), postprovocation and intoxication (Time 2), and postbehavioral aggression (Time 3). IPV was operationalized as the strength and duration of shocks issued to their partner during the aggression paradigm.

Results: Both sober and intoxicated participants experienced lower ED following provocation, suggesting a main effect of provocation but no main effect of intoxication. There was a significant alcohol-by-ED interaction in the predicted direction. For intoxicated participants, low ED was associated with greater IPV perpetration. For sober participants, low ED was associated with less IPV perpetration.

Conclusions: Consistent with hypotheses, low ED is associated with greater IPV perpetration among intoxicated individuals. In contrast to prior research, low ED was associated with less IPV perpetration among sober individuals. Alcohol-related cognitive impairments may increase the likelihood of IPV perpetration by disrupting the ED process that may otherwise inhibit impulsive aggression.

情绪分化与亲密伴侣暴力：挑衅和酒精中毒的影响。

研究目的本研究调查了关系挑衅对亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）实施的影响，以及酒精中毒和个人情绪分化（ED，即区分积极情绪和消极情绪的能力）对亲密伴侣暴力实施的影响。我们假设，挑衅和急性醉酒与较低的情绪分化能力有关，因此个体在受到挑衅和醉酒后会表现出较低的情绪分化能力。我们还假设醉酒与 ED 之间存在相互作用，因此只有醉酒且未分化的人才会实施 IPV：方法：250 名社区成年人完成了一项表面上是与恋爱伴侣之间的攻击范例，他们被随机分配到酒精或无酒精条件下。在基线（时间 1）、挑衅和醉酒后（时间 2）以及行为攻击后（时间 3）计算参与者在正面和负面分量表中的 ED 值。在攻击范式中，IPV 的操作是指对其伴侣施加冲击的强度和持续时间：结果：清醒和醉酒的参与者在受到挑衅后的ED都较低，这表明挑衅有主要影响，而醉酒没有主要影响。在预测的方向上，酒精与ED之间存在明显的交互作用。对于醉酒的参与者来说，低 ED 与更严重的 IPV 行为相关。对于清醒的参与者而言，低ED与较少的IPV行为相关：结论：与假设一致，低 ED 与醉酒者更多的 IPV 施暴行为相关。与之前的研究不同，在清醒的人中，低 ED 与较少的 IPV 施行行为相关。与酒精相关的认知障碍可能会通过破坏 ED 过程来增加实施 IPV 的可能性，而 ED 过程本可以抑制冲动性攻击行为。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
