TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Comparing perceived injustices from supervisors and romantic partners as predictors of aggression JO - Journal of occupational health psychology A1 - Dupré, Kathryne E. A1 - Turner, Nick A1 - Barling, Julian A1 - Stride, Chris B. SP - 359 EP - 370 VL - 15 IS - 4 N2 - To examine the predictive effects of perceived injustice in two different interpersonal relationships (i.e., working relationship with a supervisor, romantic relationship with a partner) on aggression enacted in those relationships, we computed a series of multilevel regressions on 62 heterosexual couples with all 124 partners employed part-time and working for different supervisors. Higher levels of perceived supervisor injustice predicted higher supervisor-directed aggression, whereas higher levels of perceived partner injustice predicted lower supervisor-directed aggression. An interaction between perceived partner injustice and anger predicted higher levels of partner-directed aggression. Implications and recommendations for future research on the relationship specificity of perceived injustice are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
