• JULY 3, 1996 - NEWS U researcher speaks out on verbal abuse .
• Terry Kinney, an instructor in the Department of Speech-Communication, is currently researching the effects of verbal aggression on people in order to find ways to prevent violence within society.
• Kinney has done field observations, laboratory experiments and accumulated the research on verbal aggression in his ongoing research into anxiety-causing situations.
• Kinney said 90 percent of all relationships in the United States contain instances of physical and verbal violence. Researching the causes and effects of verbal aggression is important because most physical conflicts begin with a verbal confrontation, Kinney said.
• Verbal aggression, defined as an attack on another's self-concept, takes many forms, Kinney said. Comments like "you're stupid" or "you're lazy" are examples of verbal aggression, he said. But sarcasm and teasing can also be forms of verbal aggression.
• Kinney said one example of verbal aggression that escalated into a physically violent situation was a recent multiple homicide and suicide near Sauk Center. ...

• The stress caused by verbal aggression can also make a person physically ill, Kinney said. ...

• Verbal abuse is also a common component to physically or sexually abusive relationships, according to Marnie Rothschild, the educational and outreach coordinator for Sojourn, a shelter for abused women.
• Rothschild admits that physical abuse is still more recognized, but that doesn't make verbal abuse less significant. Verbal abuse might not inflict the same bruises and scars that physical abuse does, but it does not escape without leaving its own marks.
• Experts believe the numbers might be a lot higher because many women never discuss verbal abuse or even feel that they are being verbally abused.
• Statistics and information on verbal abuse are difficult to obtain because most studies come from law enforcement, and verbal abuse simply is not reported, in part because it is not a crime, like physical abuse.

A constant pattern of insults and control issues are signs of verbal abuse, according to Rothschild. Even if the pattern of abuse spans a two or three month period, verbal abuse can still be present. ...
• To judge whether a relationship is verbally abusive, she asks, "Do they go through a pattern?" When a relationship continuously goes well for a while and then shortly thereafter turns sour, verbal abuse could be the cause. One reason that incidents of verbal abuse might be more prevalent than believed lies in the deceptive outward behavior of the verbal abuser.
• SOLO reports that many verbal abusers will act normally, even sensitively, to the outside world, giving the impression that nothing is wrong in their relationship behavior. ...
• This pattern - he is charming one minute and abusive the next - makes verbal abuse very confusing for women and causes them to end up doubting their instincts, SOLO says. As the abuser charms the people around the abused woman, it is possible that no one will believe that the verbal abuse is occurring.

While it is important to specify that there are ABA programs that do and do not incorporate the teaching of verbal behavior based on Skinner's analysis of language, it would be unfortunate if people thought of teaching VB as anything other than ABA.
