RE: CTS and Asian populations

["Murray Straus" <murray.straus@xxxxxxx>]

There is a paper with a table summarizing the contents of about 50 studies
which applied the CTS outside the USA or to racial and linguistic minorities
in the USA.  I am sending a copy and will be glad to send a copy to others
on the list.

The paper is a bit outdated because, a couple of years ago, I stopped trying
to keep tabs on all the papers that report CTS data.  With 5 or 6 papers per
month being published, it got to be too time consuming.  Also, my focus is
now on the revised versions of the CTS (the CTS2 and the CTSPC).  I am in
the process of writing a paper on the psychometric data for these two
instruments, as reported in papers using the CTS2 that have been published
up to this point (about 15 I have located so far).

Does anyone know of studies reporting psychometric data for the Conflict
Tactics Scale (CTS) specifically for Asians or Asian Americans? (either
parent-to-child or spousal CTS).
