Abstract

Studies:
1. Interpersonal Functioning and Emotion in Borderline Personality ("Emotion and Interpersonal Functioning")
2. Interpersonal Functioning and Emotion in Borderline Personality ("Couples")

Description: Provides documentation of domestic and relationship violence. The theoretical basis of the CTS is conflict theory, which assumes that conflicts of interest are an inevitable part of human association, whereas violence as a tactic to deal with conflict is not (Strauss, Hamby, and Warren 2003). The CTS measures the extent to which specific tactics, including acts of physical violence, have been used by a couple during conflict. Designed to measure the behavior of both the respondent and the respondent’s partner. The CTS Form A is self-administered. Form N contained an expanded list of violent acts and was used in face-to-face interviews. Form R included additional items for choking and burning or scalding and had slightly different response categories.

Reliability/Validity:
When presented in the context of family disagreements and conflict resolution, the CTS rates of response refusals and antagonism have not been found to be high: completion rates of 65-85% in two National Family Violence Surveys, compared to 70-75% in most large surveys (Straus & Gelles, 1990b).
