Michael Paul Johnson[1] (born December 20, 1942)[2] is emeritus professor of sociology, women's studies and African and African American studies at Penn State,[3] having taught there for over thirty years.[4] It is where he developed his typology (known as "Johnson's typology") for describing intimate partner violence (IPV).[5]

Johnson is an "internationally recognized expert on domestic violence"[6] and travels the world giving lectures and talks on the subject.[4] He is also a prior member of the editorial boards of the Journal of Family Theory and Review[7] and the Journal of Marriage and Family.

Education

Johnson gained his degree in sociology from Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois (1965),[8] his MA in sociology from the University of Iowa (1969),[9] and his PhD in sociology from University of Michigan (1974).[1]

PAIR project

In 1981 a long-term study of courtship and marriage of 168 couples was implemented by Ted Huston.[10] The project began at Penn State and was intended to last through the first two and a half years of marriage, but it was extended and extra waves of data were collected. In 1985 the project transferred to the University of Texas at Austin and a follow-up set of interviews with the participants took place in 1991.[11] Johnson has been a collaborator on the PAIR project since its early days, with a particular interest in 'conceptions of commitment'.[12]

Johnson's typology

Types of Domestic Violence: Research Evidence via YouTube[13]

Johnson argues that there are four major types of intimate partner violence,[5][14] a finding supported by some[15] but rejected by others.[16] The types of violence identified by Johnson are:

  1. Situational couple violence (SCV).[15]
  2. Intimate terrorism (IT).[15][17]
  3. Violent resistance (VR).[15]
  4. Mutual violent control (MVC): Johnson describes this as a couple who "could be viewed as two intimate terrorists battling for control".[15]

View on feminism

Johnson describes his definition of feminism as:

He goes on to add, "I have been fortunate to be able to devote myself to this goal in both my personal and professional lives."[18][19]

Personal life

Johnson is retired and living in the foothills of the Appalachians with his partner Maureen; he also has two children and a grandchild. He enjoys music, reading (particularly Robert B. Parker), hiking and birding.[20]
