Abstract |
Discusses the contributions and limitations of D. G. Dutton's and J. J. Browning's (1988) videotape studies of wife assault. These studies demonstrate that batterers are most sensitive to scenes of emotional abandonment. It is suggested, however, that these findings should be interpreted with an awareness that the videotape manipulations are not necessarily representative of the whole class of possible stimulus manipulations. More confidence in the conclusions may be derived from replication of the intimacy findings across a range of topics. Improved manipulation of the dominance variable is also advised.
