Participants who reported at least one sexual aggression had a significantly higher average range of ages and had higher scores on traits of aggressiveness/domination/intransigence and lower in partner communication, they reported more aggressions between their parents and a significantly higher percentage was according to 26 of 28 phrases concerning the use of violence in marriage.
