Proposed Project: The Role of Power and Control in Intimate Partner Violence—New—The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

CDC plans to draw a sample of individuals convicted of battering in the Dallas County Domestic Violence Court, and a sample of men living in Dallas County. The study participants will include two samples of men, who will be asked to complete a survey developed and tested by experts in the field of psychology and sociology. The study will include psychological assessments of attachment depression, anger and sociological assessments of peer support for violence, attitudes toward violence, and attitudes toward sex roles.

The data will be collected to further understand the psychological and sociological correlates of battering (e.g., male battering of female partners), which will in turn assist in developing models for intervention programs. The estimated annualized burden is 899 hours.
