The purpose of this study is to examine the utility of the revised Conflict Tactics Scales(CTS2) on Korean couples. As results of tests(correlation, factor analysis, Cronbach` α), reliability of subscales of CTS2 range from .64 to .94 and total reliability of CTS2 is .90. And there are preliminary evidences of construct validity ; the convergent validity and discriminant validity of CTS2. Then we examine the prevalence of wife abuse behavior in our sample. There are the high prevalencies of psychological aggression(90.3%), physical assault(52.5%), and sexual coercion(47.5%)
