Domestic violence generates long-term effects on offenders, victims, and other household members. While coercive behavior explains some family violence, aggression can also be reactive, triggered by emotional stimulus. Insight into triggers of family violence can inform policy and mitigate abusive behavior. Card, D. and G. B. Dahl. (2011). “Family Violence and Football: The Effect of Unexpected Emotional Cues on Violent Behavior,” 126 The Quarterly Journal of Economics 103–43 undertook a novel analysis of family violence triggers using unexpected losses by American professional football teams. We extend research on this trigger using data from National Basketball Association (NBA) games. Our results show that unexpected NBA losses lead to increased in-home violence. Heterogeneity analyses show that these effects are larger for weekend games, when referees are fatigued, and closer to the playoff season. (JEL J44, K42, Z22).

情绪暗示和暴力行为：意外的篮球失利增加了家庭暴力事件

家庭暴力会对犯罪者、受害者和其他家庭成员产生长期影响。虽然强迫行为可以解释一些家庭暴力，但攻击性也可能是反应性的，由情绪刺激引发。洞察家庭暴力的诱因可以为政策提供信息并减轻虐待行为。Card, D. 和 GB Dahl。（2011）。“家庭暴力和足球：意外情绪线索对暴力行为的影响”，126 经济学季刊 103-43 使用美国职业足球队的意外损失对家庭暴力触发因素进行了新颖的分析。我们使用来自美国国家篮球协会 (NBA) 比赛的数据扩展了对此触发器的研究。我们的研究结果表明，意外的 NBA 失利导致家庭暴力增加。异质性分析表明，周末比赛的这些影响更大，当裁判员累了，又接近季后赛时。（JEL J44、K42、Z22）。
