Abstract:
The present study examined individuals' subjective evaluation of their effectiveness with regard to affective communication and problem-solving communication, and their relation to intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization. Data from 100 Caucasian American and Mexican American couples were collected during the first and during the third year of marriage. For affective communication, a significant partner effect emerged, indicating that husbands' higher dissatisfaction with affective communication was related to wives' higher IPV victimization. For problem-solving communication, a significant actor effect emerged, indicating that husbands' higher dissatisfaction with problem-solving communication was related to husbands' higher IPV victimization. While these findings largely generalized to Caucasian Americans, they did not generalize to Mexican Americans.
