N2  - The present study tested the hypothesis that self-reported likelihood of wife battering is related to childhood experiences of violence and attitudes supportive of family violence. One hundred ninety-one male university students were administered three attitude measures and a survey of childhood experiences, and were asked to rate their potential likelihood of wife battering (LB) in a variety of situations. Most subjects (79%) indicated some likelihood of battering. This likelihood covaried with violent Attitudes Toward Wife Abuse (AWA), conservative Attitudes Toward Women (AWS), Acceptance of Interpersonal Violence (AIV), and, to a lesser extent, physical abuse as a child and witnessing one's mother being battered.<p />
