Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a widespread, detrimental occurrence in our society, and has been associated with a number of negative outcomes. IPV is especially prevalent among young adults. Unfortunately, existing programs (batterer intervention programs; BIPs) intended to treat batterers and reduce IPV perpetration, are not particularly effective at reducing recidivism of abuse and thus research is needed to identify more effective, evidence-based targets for intervention.Anger has consistently been identified as a risk factor for IPV perpetration. However, anger is a commonly experienced emotion, and not all instances of anger within a relationship result in perpetration of IPV. Self-regulatory processes such as impulsivity have been proposed as a possible explanation for why some but not all instances of experiencing anger lead to aggression and violence. If this is indeed the case, impulsivity may be an important target of treatment to include in BIPs. Furthermore, some of the existing literature has suggested an interaction between anger and impulsivity in their association with IPV perpetration. Yet, these studies often collapse and combine the constructs of anger and impulsivity and empirical studies examining impulsivity as a moderator within the anger-IPV perpetration relation are scarce. Thus, this study seeks to examine the anger – IPV relation through the lens of impulsivity as a moderating variable in an undergraduate college student population. In conducting the proposed study, we may gain clarity in our understanding of the ways in which impulsivity and anger interact in predicting the perpetration of IPV among young adults. The findings of this proposed study may shed light on and help to contribute to the development of targeted interventions to effectively reduce the perpetration of IPV.
