SummaryAn attempt was made to predict alcohol use among 101 American white boys aged 13–16. The model combined genetic and social variables. The analysis revealed evidence of a genotype–environment interaction and thus the use of either the biological or social variables alone poorly predicts alcohol use.

Mindfulness gained increased attention as it relates to aggressive behavior, including dating violence. However, no known studies examined how the combined influences of dispositional mindfulness and perceived partner infidelity, a well-documented correlate of dating violence, relate to women’s dating violence perpetration. Using a sample of college women ( N = 203), we examined the relationship between perceived partner infidelity and physical dating violence perpetration at varying levels of dispositional mindfulness, controlling for the influence of alcohol use. Results indicated perceived partner infidelity and dating violence perpetration were positively related for women with low and mean dispositional mindfulness, but not for women with high dispositional mindfulness. These results further support the applicability of mindfulness theory in the context of dating violence. Implications of the present findings provide preliminary support for mindfulness intervention in relationships characterized by infidelity concerns.

This paper provides a framework in which theories/explanations of alcohol-related aggression are identified and operationalized in such a way that they can be applied systematically to naturally occurring aggressive behavior associated with alcohol use. Summaries of explanations are provided along with a brief discussion of how these explanations might be assessed using real-world data. Explanations are grouped by whether they are based on: (a) the effects of alcohol; (b) the drinking set or setting; or (c) expectations and other characteristics of individual drinkers. These explanations are then assessed in terms of relevance and applicability to two examples of naturally occurring incidents of aggression, one based on unobtrusive observation, the second elicited as part of a telephone interview study.

Using prospective data from a cohort design study involving documented cases of child abuse and neglect and a matched control group, we examine two potential pathways between childhood victimization and violent criminal behavior: early aggressive behavior and problematic drinking. Structural equation models, including controls for race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, parental alcoholism, and parental criminality, revealed different pathways for men and women. For men, child maltreatment has direct and indirect (through aggressive behavior and problematic alcohol use) paths to violence. For women, problematic alcohol use mediates the relationship between childhood victimization and violence, and, independent of child maltreatment, early aggression leads to alcohol problems, which lead to violence. Interventions for victims of childhood maltreatment need to recognize the role of early aggressive behavior and alcohol problems as risk factors for subsequent violence.
