For males, partner’s use of physical aggression, low levels of anger management skills, and high relationship satisfaction were the strongest predictors of physical aggression. For females, partner’s uses of physical and psychological aggression were the most important predictors of their use of physical aggression. The model in this study was a good predictor of male violence, accounting for 81% of the variance; however, it only accounted for 51% of the variance in female violence.This is an electronic version of an article published in Baker, C. & Stith, S.
