A particularly misunderstood type of domestic violence is the type of incident where both partners are violent, for example, where one partner is violent and the other is violent in self-defense. The present study examined third-party attributions about such battering. Subjects read a fictitious newspaper report of a domestic battering incident and then filled out rating scales about the participants and the event. The scenario described either an "asymmetric battering" incident where one party instigated the violence and was much more violent than the other, or an incident which was more of a mutual fight (symmetric battering). Both scenarios ended with one person seriously injuring the other. Each scenario had two versions, in which either the husband or the wife instigated the violence. Results showed that the person who had instigated the violence was judged more harshly and was given more responsibility for their actions in both the symmetric and asymmetric battering conditions. The less violent partner in the asymmetric conditions was judged to have more right to use force. In the symmetric battering, both parties were assigned blame. |
