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 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:

You're a feminist if you believe that

(1) men are privileged relative to women,
(2) that's not right, and
(3) you're going to do something about it, even if it's only in your personal life.

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]
