Abstract
Introduction: Men who assault their partners present deficits in the social
skills necessary for adequate interpersonal interaction. Not all of them have
the same difficulties, thus they do not constitute a homogeneous group.
Various studies have proposed different typologies of abusers based on their
sociodemographic characteristics, criminal history, intensity and extent of
violent or psychopathological traits. The majority of these investigations have
been conducted in community samples, prompting the question of their validity
in samples of men convicted of gender violence. The aim of this study was to
establish a typology of men convicted in Spain for a gender violences crimes.
Methodology: A total of 365 men participated and were subdivided into three
classes of abusers based on their childhood, family experiences with violence,
criminal history, sexist attitudes and attitudes toward violence, intensity and type
of violence, psychopathological state and attachment style.
Results: Coinciding with the results found in other research, 30% of the
participants were classified as generally violent. They engaged in severe forms
of physical, psychological and sexual violence and were more likely to do so
than the rest. Additionally, they are more likely to present psychopathological
problems and an antisocial character. Twenty-one percent were classified as
dysphoric/borderline. They are characterized by minor forms of psychological
violence, borderline or depressive symptomatology and an anxious attachment
style. The remaining 49% were classified as familial or normalized abusers. This
group exhibits moderate attitudes toward violence and sexism, resulting in less
psychological and physical aggression. They do not present psychopathological
problems and are likely to present a secure attachment style.
Discussion: It is argued that determining the psychological characteristics of
each type of abuser would contribute to improving and adapting intervention
protocols in Spain, leading to a significant improvement in the current issue of
abuse.
