Recent studies have focused on attachment and related variables to explain partner abuse. These studies have not included significant numbers of African American men. Path analysis was used to examine the relationship between interpersonal relatedness (i.e., attachment, social support, and sense of belonging) as mediated by affect (hopelessness and depression) to explain abusive behaviors in African American men arrested for partner abuse. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires from a convenience sample of 69 African American men 18 to 69 years of age. The strongest effect was from sense of belonging in predicting severity-weighted frequency of physical, psychological, and sexual abuse. Preoccupation with closeness had a negative direct effect on severity-weighted frequency of sexual abuse. Hopelessness and depression did not act as mediators. Implications for further research are discussed. 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/94567 Predictors of Physicians' Responses to Woman Abuse:The Role of Gender, Background, and Brief Training Saunders, Daniel G.; Kindy Jr, Phillips Objective: To assess the relationship between gender, background, and brief training and physicians' detection of and treatment for woman abuse. Design: Quasi-experimental and correlational designs, plus control for background factors. Setting: Two residency training programs: general internal medicine and family practice. Participants: Thirty-five participants were residents and four were faculty members; 17 were trained and 22 were untrained physicians; 20 were women and 19 were men. Measures: Immediately after an encounter with each physician, a standardized patient rated speed of detection, history taking, planning, and focus on psychosocial issues. Results: Women tended to detect the abuse earlier and take a more thorough history. Trained and untrained groups did not differ on any outcome variable. Prior professional training and having personally known a victim were positively associated with outcome, especially among men. Conclusions: Referrals might best be made to women counselor/advocates. More extensive training of all personnel may be needed than that provided in this study. 1993-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/93778 Health education for social workers: A primer Watkins, Daphne C.; Hartfield, Jennifer A. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/93777 Measuring masculinity in research on men of color: Findings and future directions Griffith, Derek; Gunter, Katie; Watkins, Daphne C 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z
