Measuring Spousal Violence With the Conflict Tactics Scale

Notes on Reliability and Validity Issues

JOHN SCHAFER

Alcohol Research Group, Western Consortium for Public Health

The violence scale of the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS) is a widely used instrument in the field of spousal violence research. However, a number of criticisms have been raised about measuring spousal violence with the CTS, including questioning the item content and the reliability and construct validity of the violence scale. This article discusses certain aspects of these issues and illustrates several points with data analysis.
