ABSTRACT
This study aims to examine the relationship between perceptions of verbal aggression and the tendency of domestic violence (DV) and the role of self-control as a mediator variable. Domestic violence is a complex social problem, involving physical, verbal, psychological, and economic violence, with a significant impact on the welfare of individuals and families. The number of participants in the study was 150 married men who lived in Surabaya City and were (20-58 years old). The method used was a quantitative approach with a correlational research design with a prerequisite test with the help of SPSS. The calculation of the target sample used G-Power by looking at the sample size as a reference to determine the number of participants. The results of the study showed that verbal aggression and self-control had a relationship with the tendency of domestic violence. From the results of the coefficient test: 0.030 (p = 0.001, significant) This shows that verbal aggression (X) has a positive and significant direct relationship with the tendency of domestic violence (Y), Coefficient: 0.014 (p = 0.036, significant). This effect reflects the indirect influence of verbal aggression on the tendency of domestic violence through a mediator, namely self-control (Z). In other words, verbal aggression increases the likelihood of domestic violence partly through its effect on self control, and Coefficient: 0.044 (p < 0.001, significant). This total effect represents the combination of direct and indirect relationships of verbal aggression on the likelihood of domestic violence. Its value indicates a total effect of 0.044 units.
