Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 111(2): 195-217Summary: "When does power in intimate relationships shape important interpersonal behaviors, such as psychological aggression? Five studies tested whether possessing low relationship power was associated with aggressive responses, but (a) only within power-relevant relationship interactions when situational power was low, and (b) only by men because masculinity (but not femininity) involves the possession and demonstration of power." (From the abstract). This research was conducted by New Zealand based researchers. Record #5108
