Alcohol use has been associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) and reduced perpetrator blameworthiness, but this finding is not universal. Researchers examining alcohol and IPV-related blame often utilize vignettes depicting perpetrators who are sober and compare this to perpetrators depicted as more or less intoxicated. In this study, participants read one of three vignettes depicting male-to-female physical IPV. We compared participants' blame attributions across three conditions: perpetrator sober, perpetrator intoxicated-infrequent drinker, and perpetrator intoxicated-frequent drinker. Alcohol did not mitigate perpetrator blameworthiness for the assault; however, only the intoxicated-frequent drinker was rated as more blameworthy for his violence than the sober perpetrator. Participants also reported their own IPV perpetration, drinking behaviors, and gender role beliefs. Traditional gender role beliefs and a history of IPV perpetration were associated with shifting some of the blame onto the victim, and this was true for both men and women, especially when the perpetrator was described as a frequent drinker. Researchers should consider whether their alcohol vignettes might depict a behavior as reflecting the situation or the drinker's character, as this may impact their results. Furthermore, different observer characteristics may differentially predict blame attribution.

酒精、性别和暴力：影响责备伴侣攻击行为的因素

饮酒与亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 和降低施暴者责任感有关，但这一发现并不普遍。研究酒精和与 IPV 相关的责备的研究人员经常使用描绘清醒的肇事者的小插图，并将其与描述为或多或少醉酒的肇事者进行比较。在这项研究中，参与者阅读了描述男性对女性身体 IPV 的三个小插图之一。我们比较了参与者在三种情况下的责备归因：肇事者清醒、肇事者醉酒-不常饮酒者和肇事者醉酒-频繁饮酒者。酒精并没有减轻肇事者对袭击的责任；然而，只有经常醉酒的饮酒者被评为更多比清醒的肇事者更应该为他的暴力行为负责。参与者还报告了他们自己的 IPV 犯罪、饮酒行为和性别角色信念。传统的性别角色观念和 IPV 犯罪史与将部分责任推给受害者有关，这对男性和女性都是如此，尤其是当肇事者被描述为经常饮酒时。研究人员应该考虑他们的酒精小插曲是否可以将行为描述为反映情况或饮酒者的性格，因为这可能会影响他们的结果。此外，不同的观察者特征可能会不同地预测责备归因。
