Assessment of Wife Assault with the Conflict Tactics Scale: Using Couple Data to Quantify the Differential Reporting Effect.

Browning, James; Dutton, Donald

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v48 n2 p375-79 May 1986

The Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS) was administered to 30 assaultive couples where the husband was undergoing treatment for wife assault. Differential reporting was found whereby husbands tend to view their marital relationship as mutually violent, while wives view it as husband-violent. The husband-wife correlation on specific items of the CTS indicated considerable disparity in recall for violence. (Author/BL)
