In two studies, a psychological measure that predicts the likelihood of a male partner to physically abuse a female intimate partner-the Likelihood to Physically Abuse (LPA) scale-was developed. The LPA scale's internal reliability and validity were tested in Study I (N = 183). In Study II, 299 men were administered the LPA scale online along with validated measures related to intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration to further test the internal reliability of the LPA scale and test its construct and external validity. Overall, the results from both studies showed excellent internal reliability (α ≥ 90) and support for the LPA scale's validity with all but one measure showing moderate (r ≥ .30) to strong correlational relationships (r ≥ .50).

美国男性样本中身体虐待量表的可能性的初步开发和验证。

在两项研究中，开发了一种心理测度，该心理测度预测了男性伴侣对女性亲密伴侣进行身体虐待的可能性-身体虐待的可能性（LPA）量表。LPA量表的内部信度和效度在研究I中进行了检验（N = 183）。在研究II中，对299名男性进行了LPA量表的在线管理，并采用了与亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）行为有关的有效措施，以进一步测试LPA量表的内部可靠性并测试其结构和外部有效性。总体而言，两项研究的结果均显示出出色的内部可靠性（α≥90），并支持LPA量表的有效性，除一项措施外，其他均显示出中等（r≥.30）至强相关性（r≥.50）。
