While agent-based models (ABMs) have successfully modeled violence and women’s decision-making, they relied upon studies of her daily reports of violence and household environment; these models were not based upon descriptions of his emotions and perceptions. The purpose of this study was to improve our understanding of the triggers of violent events within violent relationships through agent-based modeling by including men’s perceptions and emotions. An agent-based model was created of couples with history of violence based upon results of a study involving multiple time series of partner violence, including couples’ daily reports of their emotions and perceptions. To explore factors that may alter model results, seven continuous variable parameters were created based upon significant (p ≤ .05) but discrepant (opposite directions) in prior studies. To assess the potential impact that influencing factors such as random stress as well as his and her feelings and behaviors could have on violence and stalking, the impact of these factors was also assessed. Results found that, at baseline, which included no extremes in variable parameters, no violence emerged. One prior-day→same-day relationship (HerConcern→HerConcern) was particularly important in this ABM. Men’s and women’s drug use and refraining from arguments had little impact on any outcome, but his and her alcohol use, his sense of insult and her violence all had significant effects. In fact, women’s alcohol use interacted with other influencing variables and was a source of atypical patterns. In conclusion, incorporating men’s perceptions into an ABM of partner violence resulted in important differences compared with ABMs based solely on women’s input. Not only were women’s daily concerns about the effect of violence on children was critical to results, but this ABM demonstrated the complexity of partner violence in response to influences as illustrated by contextual dependence, interaction effects and synergy.

虽然基于主体的模型 (ABM) 已经成功地模拟了暴力和妇女的决策，但它们依赖于对她每天报告的暴力和家庭环境的研究；这些模型并非基于对他的情绪和感知的描述。这项研究的目的是通过基于代理的建模，包括男性的看法和情绪，提高我们对暴力关系中暴力事件触发因素的理解。根据一项涉及多个时间序列的伴侣暴力的研究结果，包括夫妻对他们的情绪和看法的每日报告，为有暴力史的夫妻创建了一个基于主体的模型。为了探索可能改变模型结果的因素，七个连续变量参数是基于显着的（p≤ .05) 但在之前的研究中存在差异（相反方向）。为了评估随机压力以及他和她的感受和行为等影响因素对暴力和跟踪的潜在影响，还评估了这些因素的影响。结果发现，在基线时，变量参数中不包含任何极端值，因此没有出现暴力行为。前一天→当天的关系 (HerConcern→HerConcern) 在这个 ABM 中尤为重要。男人和女人的吸毒和避免争吵对任何结果影响不大，但他和她的酗酒、他的侮辱感和她的暴力都有显着影响。事实上，女性饮酒与其他影响变量相互作用，是非典型模式的来源。综上所述，将男性的看法纳入伴侣暴力的 ABM 与仅基于女性输入的 ABM 相比产生了重要差异。不仅妇女对暴力对儿童的影响的日常关注对结果至关重要，而且该 ABM 展示了伴侣暴力对影响的复杂性，如背景依赖性、互动效应和协同作用所说明的那样。
