TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Testing the trauma model of violence JO - Journal of family violence A1 - Neller, Daniel J. A1 - Denney, Robert L. A1 - Pietz, Christina A. A1 - Thomlinson, R. Paul SP - 151 EP - 159 VL - 20 IS - 3 N2 - The present study sought to explore the relationship between trauma and violence, as measured by the Traumatic Events Questionnaire and the Conflict Tactics Scale. Using Multiple Regression Analysis, several types of traumatic experiences were studied as predictors to violent behavior in 55 graduate students. Results suggest that trauma as a set, as well as being the victim of a violent crime, are significantly related to future violent behavior. However, no other individual predictor variable, including being the victim of childhood physical abuse, significantly predicted future violence. Implications of the findings are discussed.
