A study examined the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and nonpartner aggression in military veterans, revealing minimal overlap between the two. Involving 135 male veterans, researchers assessed participants before randomly assigning them to either the Strength at Home (SAH) program or treatment-as-usual (TAU). Follow-ups occurred at three and six months post-assessment. Results indicated that IPV and nonpartner aggression were uncorrelated, while nonpartner aggression showed correlations with anger, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression. IPV was solely correlated with anger. The SAH program did not significantly affect nonpartner aggression levels; however, participants in the SAH group experienced a notable reduction in anger, unlike those in the TAU group. These findings suggest distinct pathways for IPV and nonpartner aggression among veterans, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.
