In SSRS, all factors'scores in The Study Group are lower than The Control Group, in which the use of support scores(P <0.01) and total support scores(P <0.05) differences are statistically significant, and the differences in objective support scores and subjective support scores in the two groups are no statistical Significance. All factors'scores in The Study group are lower than The Normal Control group (P <0.05or0.01), differences are statistically significant.5. In FACESII—CV , the actual cohesion scores and actual adaption scores of The Study group are lower than The Control Group and The Normal Control Group, the differences are statistically significant (P <0.01).6. In IBS scale, The Study group in unplanned scores (P <0.01), the motives of the impulse scores(P <0.05), total impulse scores(P <0.05)are higher than The Control Group, the differences are statistically significant; in recognition scores ,the differences between the two groups was not significant. Compare With The Normal Control Group, all factors'scores in IBS,The Study Group are all Higher(P <0.05or0.01), the difference are statistically significant.7. In ENRICH Scale, The Study Group's Olson marital total scores are lower than The Control syudy and The Normal Control Group(P <0.01), the differences are statistically significant Further Logistic regression analysis found that The high risk factors of male alcoholics'family physical violence as follow: there is a family history of alcohol abuse, the first time as early as age drinking, drinking frequency, the amount of alcohol use each time, more affected by childhood physical abuse, Poor actual familial adaptation, the use of the social support is poor;And personality characteristics of low neuroticism, low motivation impulsive, good quality of marriage have protective effect to avoid the occurrence of their violence.Conclusions Have the following characteristics of the male alcoholics that pose a higher risk of family physical violence: 1.
