Study type | Interventional |
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health problem costing $8.3 billion per year with over $6 billion in direct medical and mental health costs alone. Alcohol is present in most incidents of IPV, and contributes to more frequent and severe IPV incidents. These facts, coupled with the fact that there are no effective interventions for IPV, make understanding mechanisms through which alcohol is associated with IPV critical.

Primary | neurophysiological arousal collected via electroencephalography | electroencephalography. Each participant's individual neurophysiological responses will be collected and then aggregated at the conclusion of the study for between-group analyses. Greater alpha and beta frequencies relative to reduced to theta and delta frequencies indicate greater cortical arousal. The experimental conditions of this study will allow us to determine if distressed violent partners experience greater cortical arousal in certain conditions. | two years | |
Primary | neurophysiological arousal collected via electrocardiogram | respiratory sinus arrythymia. This is a measure of heart rate variability that is an index of a person's ability to regulate their emotion. The responses on this measure are evaluated against the comparison group. Each participant's individual neurophysiological responses will be collected and then aggregated at the conclusion of the study for between-group analyses. | two years | |
Primary | neurophysiological arousal collected via galvanic skin response | galvanic skin response. When people are neurophysiologically aroused, their skin sweats more. This responses on this measures these changes between conditions and groups, and are evaluated against the comparison group. Each participant's individual neurophysiological responses will be collected and then aggregated at the conclusion of the study for between-group analyses. | two years | |
Primary | neurophysiological response collected via respiration | respiration. When neurophysiologically aroused people breathe faster. This responses on this measure will are evaluated against the comparison group to determine if the distressed violent group is more neurophysiologically aroused in certain experimental conditions. Each participant's individual neurophysiological responses will be collected and then aggregated at the conclusion of the study for between-group analyses. | two years | |
Primary | neurophysiological response collected via eye tracking | pupillary response. When people are neurophysiologically aroused their pupils dilate. This responses on this measure are evaluated against the comparison group. Each participant's individual neurophysiological responses will be collected and then aggregated at the conclusion of the study for between-group analyses. | two years | |
Primary | emotion regulation | This is an experimental task that all participants in both the distressed violent group and the distressed nonviolent group complete. In the emotion regulation task, an comparison of the aggregated primary outcome measures will be compared between groups to determine if distressed violent participants experience greater neurophysiological arousal than distressed nonviolent participants. | two years |
