N2  - The present study investigated husbands' sexual aggression in marriage through both spouses' reports. The sample consisted of 252 maritally discordant heterosexual couples seeking marital therapy and 53 community control couples. Results indicated clinic wives reported significantly higher rates and frequencies of the Husbands' Sexual Coercion factor and the Husbands' Threatened/Forced Sex factor than community wives. The relationship between husbands' physical and sexual violence was also examined. Husbands' Sexual Coercion was associated with their psychological aggression, whereas Husbands' Threatened/Forced Sex was related to moderate and severe physical aggression. Compared to nonabused wives and moderately physically abused wives, severely physically abused wives reported the highest rates and frequencies of Sexual Coercion and Threatened/Forced Sex.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
