A sample of 102 married men were interviewed and physically assessed in an attempt to develop a biopsychosocial model of male domestic violence. Because the dependent variable, domestic violence, was censored, Tobit analysis was used to identify significant predictors. When analyzed separately, each domain was significantly related to male domestic violence. However, when all domains were considered together, only the biological and social domains yielded independent effects. Significant independent variables included alcohol, family income, and relationship quality, with testosterone approaching significance.
