We are a group of international researchers interested in international and cross-cultural perspectives on various forms of aggression. We have been studying perspectives on family violence for more than five years, and continue actively with this work.

Recently, we have extended our work to investigate international perspectives on institutional violence, particularly violence by governments. We have developed a scale, the Personal and Institutional Rights to Aggression and Peace Scale (PAIRTAPS), to assess views on peace, war, and other forms of governmental aggression.

Our survey has been translated into several languages. All are welcome to take the survey. You may select the language you are most comfortable with below, regardless of the country you are from. Your responses will be completely anonymous.
