Alcohol and aggressive personality styles: potentiators of serious physical aggression against wives?
Article Abstract:
A longitudinal study of the influences of alcohol use on aggression in marriage in 272 couples married for less than 18 months suggests that alcoholic husbands indulge in pre- and post-marriage aggression. The passage of time reduces the level of alcohol-induced physical abuse. However, the premarital aggressive behavior of husbands and not their alcoholism forces their spouses to seek divorce.
