Using verbal aggression research and Schonbach's (1980) account typology, the current study examined male abusers' accounts of recent violent episodes in order to determine perceived triggers and accounts surrounding the conflict situation as well as the linguistic tone of these accounts. Preliminary conclusions reveal that accounts offered to describe recent violent events varied depending on the abuser's reported locus of control. Additionally, apparent relationships were revealed in the words (cognitive and affective) abusers used in describing their most recent violent episode. Results from the LIWC data indicate that there were several significant correlations between words used by abusers in describing the triggers and accounts relating to a recent violent event. Because this study concentrated on finding relationships between words used to describe both the antecedents and accounts of abusive episodes, it provides a more comprehensive understanding of abusers' perceptions of these events. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
