The article examines how impulsivity may explain why childhood abuse is linked to intimate partner violence in adulthood, particularly among male perpetrators convicted for such violence. It suggests that impulsivity fully mediates the relationship between childhood maltreatment and later aggression, with social support also playing a role in recidivism risk.

This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it highlights a specific cognitive control mechanism—impulsivity—as a potential target for understanding and interrupting patterns of violence that originate in early experiences and affect interpersonal dynamics.

'New research: 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence'

A recent national survey of Australian adults and adolescents examined general misogynistic attitudes and support for violent extremism.

Some respondents justified violence in the private sphere. If a woman disobeys in the home, a man should be able to control her with violence.

Others supported abstract restrictions in the public sphere, such as limiting women’s reproductive rights. Some agreed with the sentiment that “sometimes a woman just pushes a man too far”, forcing him to commit acts of violence.

Further, 73.8% of respondents said that they believed their partner had deliberately done things to make them feel like they were going crazy, and 50.2% said that their partner had threatened to tell the authorities that they were ‘crazy’ to prevent them from accessing services such as protective orders."
