Abstract
IPV perpetrator and nonperpetrator differences in physiological and self-report responses to aversive stimuli and provocation were explored. Perpetrators reported less distress tolerance, distress absorption and distress regulation than non-perpetrators. Perpetrators who were provoked while experiencing an aversive stimulus reported increases in blood pressure and heart rate while nonperpetrators did not.
