Rasha Hassan Makram-Alla Abdel-Hameed, a researcher at the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Arts, Assiut University has conducted a psychological study on “Domestic Violence: Demographic Variables and Personality Traits in Assiut Governorate.” The researcher attempted to diagnose domestic violence in the light of some demographic variables such as: age - economic level - residence area - level of education, together with some personality traits.   The researcher used a number of hypotheses in the study and attempted to prove their validity. As hypothesized, residence place (rural - urban), level of education (low - medium - high) would be of remarkable influence on domestic violence. Besides, personality traits of children whose parents are more violent are different from the personality traits of children of less violent parents. The study results reveal that there is a remarkable influence of interaction between the variables of residence and level of education on the variable of domestic violence among parents. It also showed that parents of urban origin were more violent than parents of rural origin. Likewise, parents of higher level of education were less violent than parents of lower level of education. The researcher used Eisenk Personality Test and Personal Assessment Questionnaire for Adults and Youngsters.
