Background: Intimate partner violence is quite common around the world.

Aim: This study aims to determine the attitudes toward partner violence in men and to evaluate their attitudes toward violence according to narcissistic characteristics and attachment styles.

Method: This study was conducted using descriptive cross-sectional methods. Data has been collected by using The Experiences in Intimate Relationship Inventory (EIRI), The Pathological Narcissism Inventory (PNI), and Attitude Scales Toward Dating Violence (ASTDV).

Results: There was a positive correlation between the PSV and PV of ASTDV in the anxiety sub-dimension of the EIRI-2 ( = .283,  < .05;  = .262,  < .05) and a negative correlation with PSV and PV in the avoidance sub-dimension ( = -.656,  < .05;  = -.656,  < .05). PSV and PV sub-dimension of ASTDV and PNI's expectations of being noticed ( = .423,  < .05;  = .313,  < .05), fragile self ( = .256,  < .05;  = .154,  < .05), self-sacrifice ( = .186,  < .05;  = .106,  < .05), grandiose dreams ( = -.217,  < .05;  = -.109,  < .05).

Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that attitudes toward psychological and physical violence in men were directly related to anxious attachment, pathological narcissism, expectations of being noticed, fragile self, grandiose dreams, and self-sacrifice. Increasing the duration of the relationship with the partner, living in a village or town, having more siblings, having a father with a low level of education, and having a mental disorder under treatment constitute a risk for increasing positive attitudes toward psychological and physical violence in men.

: Binge eating (BE) is associated with physical and psychological consequences, such as obesity and reduced quality of life. The relationship between binge eating and childhood experiences of interpersonal trauma has been explored, yet few studies focus on the processes that may explain this association. In this regard, some personality traits and maladaptive cognitive-emotional regulation may help explain this relationship, as they have been associated, respectively, with BE and childhood interpersonal trauma.

This study examined the effectiveness of the virtual delivery of the Strength at Home (SAH) intervention program for intimate partner violence in a sample of 605 military veterans across 69 Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Centers through a national implementation of the program. Outcome measures included physical IPV, psychological IPV, coercive control behaviors, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and alcohol misuse. Significant pre-intervention to post-intervention reductions were found for all the outcomes, with similar effect size estimates relative to a prior investigation of in-person-delivered SAH through the same national VA implementation.

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is the most common form of gender-based violence affecting women and girls worldwide and is exacerbated in humanitarian settings. There is evidence that neighborhood social processes influence IPV. Perceived neighborhood social cohesion (P-NSC)-a measure of community trust, attachment, safety, and reciprocity-may be protective against women's experience of and men's perpetration of IPV and controlling behaviors.
