Severity of Injury Resulting from Violence Among College Students

Proximal and Distal Influences

In a pilot study (N = 120 males) and later in a follow-up replication/refinement study (N = 385, 52% male, 48% female), participants were asked to describe a "most recent physical fight." Of the participants, 63.0% were able to describe a physical altercation, with 9.1% reporting suffering injuries that required medical attention. Examination of proximal influences showed that females fought in private situations where bystanders intervened, whereas males fought in public in front of friends, with greater perceived injury to opponents. Proximal and distal influences predicted severity of injury to the respondents. Structural modeling techniques showed gender and stimulation-seeking were indirect predictors whereas mood, severity of others' injuries, arguments, alcohol consumption, and stimulation-seeking had direct effects on self-injury.
