the Science of Sin: Wrath

the Science of Sin: Wrath by ric gustafson


Intimate terrorism is the desire to establish power and control in a relationship. The resulting violence is usually one sided and prone to escalate over time. Situational couple violence is mutual and emerges from relational conflict that gets out of hand. Intimate partner aggression is far more common than intimate terrorism.
How much self control we have dictates our ability to control an angry rage. That level of self control depends on personality, recent events and stress level. Researchers found that men use domestic violence to establish power and control. Other researchers found that instead of trying to establish power and control, people used violence as a result of partner conflicts.
People in love need to practice good conflict management skills and a concentrated effort to increase their self control.
