Toward a Biopsychosocial Model of Domestic Violence.

McKenry, Patrick C.; And Others

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v57 n2 p307-20 May 1995

Interviewed and physically assessed 102 married men in an attempt to develop a biopsychosocial model of male domestic violence. Used Tobit analysis to identify significant predictors. Analyzed separately, each domain was significantly related to male domestic violence. When considered together, only the biological and social domains yielded independent effects. (RJM)
