Welcome to the
Men's Experiences with Partner Aggression Project
Clark University, Department of Psychology, Worcester, MA
The
Men's Experiences with Partner Aggression Project is a research study at
Clark University and is funded by the National Institute of Mental
Health.
Denise A. Hines, Ph.D., Clark University Department of Psychology, is the lead researcher on this project. She is conducting this project in conjunction with Emily M. Douglas, Ph.D., Bridgewater State College Department of Social Work, and the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women.
Our goal is to better understand the experiences of men who are in relationships with women who use violence. Extensive research has shown that men are at risk for sustaining partner violence in their relationships, yet few studies have investigated their experiences, and there are few resources available to such men. This is an under-recognized problem in the United States, and by conducting this research project, we hope to provide much needed information on these men, their relationships, and their needs.
NOTICE: THE DR. PHIL SHOW IS CONSIDERING DOING A SHOW ON MEN WHO SUSTAIN VIOLENCE FROM THEIR FEMALE PARTNERS. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS CURRENTLY OR RECENTLY INVOLVED IN SUCH A RELATIONSHIP. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN APPEARING ON DR. PHIL AND TELLING YOUR STORY, PLEASE CONTACT ME: dhines@clarku.edu . ACCORDING TO A RELIABLE SOURCE, DR. PHIL WILL DO A VERY BALANCED AND THOUGHTFUL SHOW ON THIS ISSUE.
We are seeking men between the ages of 18 and 59 who have been involved in a heterosexual romantic relationship in which their female partners have used physical aggression against them (e.g., slapping, hitting, grabbing, pushing, punching, beating up, using a knife or gun, etc.) within the previous year. If this describes you and you are interested in participating, please click on the Click Here to Participate link in the left-hand column to access the online survey.
