This study determines the relationships between shame, anger, and men’s perpetration of psychological abuse in dating relationships. The authors hypothesize the connection between shame proneness and men’s use of psychological abuse with a dating partner, with anger’s mediating in this relationship. In addition, the authors hypothesize that affect regulation would moderate the relationship between anger and men’s use of psychological abuse. Results indicate that shame proneness and use of psychological abuse are significantly related and that anger mediates the relationship. However, affect regulation does not moderate the effects of anger on men’s use of psychological abuse. These findings are consistent with theoretical conceptualizations of shame and have implications for intervention and treatment programs for perpetrators of psychological abuse in dating relationships.

Key Words: psychological abuse • anger • shame • affect regulation • dating relationships
