Self-Reports of Sexual, Physical, and Nonphysical Abuse Perpetration

A Comparison of Three Measures

Sarah L. Cook

Georgia State University

This study explored self-reports of sexual, physical, and nonphysical abuse perpetration obtained with three measurement instruments. A randomly selected sample of incarcerated men responded to the Sexual Experiences Scale (SES), the Conflict Tactics Scale'Revised (CTS2), and the Severity of Violence Against Women Scales (SVAWS). Results show that the proportion of men who reported sexual aggression, but not physical or nonphysical aggression, differed according to instrument. Findings also show the absence of main effects for social desirability on self-reports obtained with all violence against women instruments. In contrast, a robust effect for social desirability on self-reports of general aggression emerged.
