abstract="Recent research has indicated that religiosity has multiple dimensions and that religious self-regulation may be a more effective predictor of intimate partner  violence (IPV) perpetration than other measures of religiosity, such as frequency of  prayer or church attendance. Nonetheless, studies have produced inconsistent results  regarding the associations between religious self-regulation and IPV perpetration. Moreover, no studies have included self-reported level of religiosity in addition to  religious self-regulation in predictive models of IPV perpetration. The present  study sought to address the following research question: What is the association  between religious self-regulation and men's IPV perpetration, accounting for  self-reported level of religiosity? A convenience sample of 289 men, who had been in  their current committed heterosexual relationship for at least one year, were  recruited via Amazon's Mechanical Turk and responded to an online survey. Logistic  and negative binomial regression analyses indicated that introjected religious  self-regulation was significantly positively associated with physical,  psychological, and sexual IPV perpetration, while identified religious  self-regulation was significantly negatively associated with physical,  psychological, and sexual IPV perpetration, supporting both hypotheses. These  findings have implications for faith leaders and secular service providers seeking  to develop effective, culturally sensitive, and empirically informed IPV  intervention and prevention strategies.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
