THE CONFLICT TACTICS
SCALES
(CTS, CTS2, CTSPC)
The revised CTS
has two versions, one for use with married, cohabiting, or
dating partners (called the CTS2), and the other to obtain
information about the behavior of parents toward a child
(called the CTSPC).The original CTS has three scales: Reasoning,
Verbal/Symbolic Aggression, and Physical Violence. The (CTS2)
has improved versions of the three original scales (renamed
as Negotiation, Psychological Aggression, and Physical Assault),
and new scales to measure Sexual Coercion and Injury. The
CTSPC has improved versions of these scales (now named Non-Violent
Discipline, Psychological Aggression, and Physical Assault)
and new supplemental scales to measures Weekly Discipline,
Neglect, and Sexual Abuse.

THE PERSONAL AND
RELATIONSHIP PROFILE (PRP)
The PRP is a multi-scale
instrument that, when completed, will provide a profile of
scores for variables that have an empirically demonstrated
relationship with physical violence against a partner in
a marital, cohabiting, or dating, relationship. The PRP will
measure two types of "risk markers" (1) Interpersonal,
i.e. characteristics of the relationship such as the balance
of power, (2) Intrapsychic, i.e. characteristics of the respondent
such as antisocial personality. There will be about 8 interpersonal
and 8 intrapsychic risk factor scales. The average testing
time will be about 20 minutes. Seventh grade reading ability
is needed. The PRP is described in paper PR6, listed in the
next section. The scales developed so far are described in
the following papers:

THE FAMILY VIOLENCE
ASSESSMENT TOOLS (FVAT)
The FVAT will
combine the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS2) and the
Personal and Relationship Profile (PRP) as an integrated
pair of instruments in a format designed for self-administration.
In a clinical application, the CTS2 part of the FVAT will
identify cases in which there is physical, sexual, or psychological
abuse of the partner, and the PRP part will provide information
on the extent of each of 16 variables known to be associated
with partner violence.

MEASURES OF CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE U.S. STATES
These measures
consist of scores for each of the 50 states. They can be
used for macro-sociological research, or the scores for each
state can be used as social context variables in individual-level
research. The three books listed below give the scores for
each overall index for each state, arrayed in rank order.
They also list the scores for each state on the separate
indicators making up each index. Finally, the three books
also include many state-by-state rankings of variables from
standard sources such as the U.S. Census, the Uniform Crime
Reports, and the Vital Statistics, but these are not listed
below because they can be obtained from those widely available
references.

THE FAMILY INTERACTION
SCHEDULE
AND FAMILY PATTERNS
PROFILE
These multi-scale
instruments were intended to provide standardized measures
on a numbed of important family dimensions. Due to a shift
in research interests at the time, I never got to use them
in published research. Consequently construct validity evidence
is not available. Nevertheless, I list them here because
I think they are still promising. The Family Patterns Profile
is also unique in the method used to control for social desirability
and other response sets.

but the User’s plans change and a copy of a paper or
other suitable publication reporting the psychometric analysis
is not sent to the Test Authors within a period of two years
from the date of testing, the User agree to provide a copy
of the data to the Test Authors for purposes of psychometric
analysis.4. The Test Authors agree: (A) To use the data provided

on etiology, consequences, or treatment outcomes. If the
Test Authors publish information based on data provided by
the User signing this agreement, the Authors will acknowledge
the source of the data in any publications which reports
information based on the data provided by the Cooperating
User.
