Violence is a matter of great concern in Argentina. Very few studies have evaluated violence perpetrated by adult women in a relationship. In this way, the present study sought to predict violence exerted by women based on dark personality, double standards and jealousy. Responding to the objectives of this study, an intentional sample of 214 women from CABA and GBA (mean age = 26.30 years; SD = 7.40) was constituted. 78% said that they were dating or starting a relationship, 18% were married and 6% were divorced, but in another relationship. They answered a questionnaire on violence perpetrated against the partner, one with a dark personality, one with double standards, one with jealousy, and demographic questions. The results indicated that the highest scores for violence perpetrated were psychological and economic. Block regressions predicted 34% and 30% variance for psychological and economic violence, with psychopathy and behavioral jealousy being the significant predictors. On the ones hand, a structural model for predicting violence showed an adequate fit suggesting that, again, dark personality and jealousy were the significant predictors. On the other hand, differences emerged in the psychosocial profiles of women with high and low perpetration of violence. In the Discussion, the implications of these findings are analyzed and suggestions for future studies are provided.
