Resumo
The present study describes the development and validation of a scale measuring male violence towards their female partners. The sample consisted of 176 women between the ages of 17 and 67 (mean age = 35.8, standard deviation = 10.2) who had been aggressed against by their male partners. Principal axis factoring and varimax rotation of an initial 69 item pool yielded two factors. The first measures psychological abuse and consists of 37 items with strong internal reliability (Chronbach's Alpha = 0.94). The second measures physical abuse and consists of 19 items (Chronbach's Alpha = 0.94). The correlation between both factors was 0.57.
