Attitudes toward violence can be viewed as having an important mediating role in the translation of hostile feelings into aggressive behaviors. To alleviate the lack of adequate measures in this content area, two studies were performed. First, the item pool of Bardis's Violence Scale was analyzed resulting in a tentative model. Second, additional items were written to augment the item pool and administered to a second sample. A confirmatory (LISREL) analysis supported a model involving five first-order constructs (Penal Code Violence, Violence in War, Corporal Punishment of Children, Extreme Interpersonal Violence, Intimate Violence) and two hierarchical second-order constructs (Interpersonal Violence, Institutional Violence).
