      ab: A study was conducted to examine the effects of reporting bias on spouses' answers to questions on sensitive marital issues by comparing one-partner and couple data on marital violence. Using data based on a subsample of the National Survey of Families and Households, the findings revealed considerable underreporting of violence. In terms of violence estimates, the results supported previous research that demonstrated higher violence estimates for couple data when compared to one-partner data and that revealed gender differences, especially in reporting severe violence. Some predictors of violence were found to be significantly related to underreporting by one spouse, and such relationships between violence predictors and underreporting caused some divergences between predictor models based on one-partner and couple scores of violence. It is concluded that data collection method significantly affects the reporting of violence.
