• Interspousal reliability on reports of marital violence was examined. Sixty-five couples beginning marital therapy and 37 couples from the community participated. Each spouse completed a version of the Conflict Tactics Scale on which they were asked to report on their own use of physically abusive behavior as well as their partner's use of such behaviors in the past 12 months. Agreement between partners on the occurrence of violence was low to moderate for both the clinic and the community sample. Clinic husbands tended to underreport their own violent behavior, and/or clinic wives tended to overreport the violence performed by husbands.
