Notes:	Attempts to understand whether men and women have similar or different motives for physical dating violence (DV). The study draws from a sample of college students. Motivations for physical DV were classified according to seven broad categories proposed by Langhinrichsen-Rohling and colleagues: (a) power/control, (b) self-defense, (c) expression of negative emotion (e.g., anger), (d) communication difficulties, (e) retaliation, (f) jealousy, and (g) other. The prevalence of physical violence perpetration in the overall sample was 29.4%. Results indicated that communication difficulties and self-defense were among the most frequently endorsed motive categories for both male and female perpetrated DV. Results also demonstrated gender similarity in all of the examined motive categories. Research and clinical implications are discussed.
