    Proposed Project: The Role of Power and Control in Intimate Partner 
Violence--New--The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control 
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), plans to 
draw a sample of individuals convicted of battering in the Dallas 
County Domestic Violence Court, and a sample of men living in Dallas 
County. The study participants, which will include two samples of men, 
will be asked to complete a survey that will utilize information 
collection instruments and methods developed and tested by experts in 
the fields of psychology and sociology. The study will include 
psychological assessments of attachment, depression, anger, and 
sociological assessments of peer support for violence, attitudes toward 
violence, and attitudes toward sex roles.
    The data will be collected to further understand the psychological 
and sociological correlates of battering (e.g., male battering of 
female partners), which will, in turn, assist in developing models for 
intervention programs.
    The only cost to the respondents is the time involved to complete 
the survey.
