Marital dissatisfaction and depression are common characteristics of abused women. In this investigation, we attempted to identify variables that might buffer women's marital satisfaction and stability, and their psychological adjustment against the effects of verbal and physical abuse. Verbal and physical victimization had significant negative direct effects on women's marital satisfaction: victimized women were characterized by less satisfaction and less stability regardless of their sense of relationship efficacy or their perceptions of spousal support. However, the effects of victimization on women's depression were moderated by relationship efficacy, perceived intimacy, and acceptance of emotional expression provided by the spouse: nonvictimized women who perceived more support and felt more efficacious, relative to those who felt less support and less efficacy, experienced fewer depressive symptoms, while victimized women who perceived more support and felt more efficacious in their relationships, relative to those characterized by less support and less efficacy, experienced more depressive symptoms. In the context of marital violence, increasing levels of relationship efficacy and perceptions of spouse support may be accompanied by an increase in the risk for depressive reactions. 相似文献

This study explores the personality disorder symptoms of women victims of intimate male partner violence (IPV), after controlling
for the contribution of experiences of childhood abuse. Victims of both physical and psychological violence (n = 73) or psychological violence alone (n = 53) were compared with non-abused control women (n = 52). Information about sociodemographic characteristics, childhood abuse, and personality characteristics (MCMI-II) was
obtained through face-to-face structured interviews. Women victims of IPV had higher scores than controls in schizoid, avoidant,
self-defeating personality scales, as well as in the three pathological personality scales (schizotypal, borderline and paranoid).
Both physical and psychological IPV were strongly associated with personality disorder symptomatology, regardless of the effects
of childhood abuse. These findings underscore the need to screen for personality disorder symptoms in women victims of IPV
when dealing with therapeutic interventions. 相似文献

Preliminary research suggests that child abuse is indirectly associated with female-perpetrated intimate partner violence
via posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and anger. To date, however, no known studies have investigated these relationships
for physical and psychological dating violence within a female college sample. Therefore, the purpose of the current study
was to examine the impact of child abuse history, PTSD symptoms, and anger arousal on female-perpetrated physical and psychological
dating violence. Female undergraduates (N = 496) completed measures of child abuse, PTSD symptoms, anger arousal, and dating violence perpetration as part of a larger
trauma and violence study. Results indicated that child abuse directly predicted female-perpetrated physical and psychological
dating violence and indirectly impacted female-perpetrated physical and psychological dating violence via PTSD symptoms and
anger arousal. The direct relationships between PTSD symptoms and female-perpetrated physical and psychological dating violence
were nonsignificant after controlling for the effect of anger arousal. 相似文献

Researchers have not investigated mental health outcomes among couples who are reciprocally violent towards each other. The
present study investigated differences in partner violence (psychological, physical, and sexual) and mental health symptoms
(depression, anxiety, hostility, and somatic) between two types of reciprocally violent couples: situational couple violence
(SCV) and mutual control violence (MVC). SCV couples use violence to address stressful family conflicts, while MVC couples
use violence as a tool to control each other. Participants (N = 609) completed surveys that contained several instruments that measured past violence, coercive behaviors, physical injuries,
and mental health symptoms. Results revealed that MVC reported significantly higher levels of violent perpetration and worse
physical and mental health than SCV. These findings have implications for understanding the role of coercion in partner violence
and mental health, which can be used for the development of appropriate mental health services for couples who are mutually
violent towards each other. 相似文献

Prior research has provided substantial evidence that child maltreatment and exposure to physical intimate partner violence
(IPV) are associated with increased externalizing behavior problems among children and adolescents. However, little is known
about the effects of exposure to psychological IPV and exposure to the physical abuse of a sibling. Using a total sample (N = 2,572) and subsample (n = 441) of children ages 3–18 years old, the purpose of this study was to assess whether cumulative types of family violence
lead to higher mean externalizing behavior scores and to examine the effects of single types of indirect and direct family
violence on children’s mean externalizing behavior scores. Results confirmed that children who experienced any type of family
violence victimization had higher mean externalizing behavior scores compared to children with no history of family violence;
however, few differences in externalizing behavior scores were found as the number of family violence types increased. Children
who experienced indirect types of family violence (e.g., exposure to the physical abuse of a sibling) had higher externalizing
behavior scores than children who experienced direct maltreatment (e.g., child physical abuse). Findings from this study suggest
that researchers and service providers should adopt a broader conceptualization of family violence victimization and increase
the amount of services provided to children who are indirectly victimized. 相似文献

Intimate partner violence (IPV) and suicidal behavior are major public health problems in the African American community.
This study investigated whether or not IPV and suicidal ideation are correlated in urban African American women, and if the
IPV–suicidal ideation link is explained by symptoms of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With 323 abused
African American females, path analysis revealed that: (1) IPV → depressive symptoms → suicidal ideation, and (2) IPV → PTSD
symptoms → depressive symptoms → suicidal ideation. When evaluating abused women, depressive and PTSD symptoms and suicidal
thoughts must be assessed. Interventions for reducing suicidal behavior in abused, low income African American women should
reduce symptoms of depression and PTSD. 相似文献

This study examined the relations between childhood maltreatment, daily life hassles, and intimate partner violence among
low-income, suicidal, abused African American women (N = 208). Findings indicated a significant association between childhood maltreatment and intimate partner violence, such that
women who experienced childhood maltreatment were more likely to experience intimate partner violence as adults than those
who reported no childhood maltreatment history. Also, results from bootstrapping analyses revealed that daily life stressors
mediated the link between childhood maltreatment and both physical and nonphysical forms of intimate partner violence. These
findings highlight the importance of thoroughly assessing for a history of childhood maltreatment, current intimate partner
violence, and the nature and extent of daily hassles when working with low-income African American women, as well as helping
abused women with a history of childhood maltreatment to cope effectively with the daily life hassles that they encounter. 相似文献

This study examined self-reported early exposure to violence in the family of origin and positive attitudes towards marital
violence as risk factors in court-referred Chinese immigrant male batterers (N = 64) versus controls (N = 62). Early exposure to violence was positively correlated with marital violence, but it alone did not differentiate the
batterers from the controls, as both groups were widely exposed to it. While it was significantly correlated with marital
violence in the batterer group, it was significantly correlated with depression in the control group. Positive attitudes towards
marital violence were not only correlated with marital violence but also sufficient to differentiate the batterers from the
controls. It also partially mediated the effect of early exposure to violence on marital violence. These two risk factors
together accounted for 21.9% of the variance in marital violence over and above sociodemographic variables and marital dissatisfaction.
Research and treatment implications based on these findings were outlined.

This study examines partner violence within an incarcerated sample of women and men. Specifically, it focused on the relationship between explicit and implicit attitudes to the perpetration and victimization of violence. Findings revealed that violence was bidirectional, with males and females equally likely to report being the perpetrator or victim of violence. The attitudes and beliefs associated with violence were similar regardless of gender, type of violence (physical or psychological), or whether individuals were the victim or perpetrator of violence. Hostility to women was the most significant factor associated with perpetrating and condoning partner violence. Hostility to women in combination with implicit beliefs condoning violence were the strongest predictors for suffering physical violence. Victims' self-reported communication problems uniquely predicted their suffering of psychological violence. The explanation for and consequences of these results are discussed. 相似文献

Investigators who study intimate partner violence have long recognized a relationship between exposure to violence in the
family of origin and subsequent offending and victimization in the family context. This relationship holds not only for direct
exposure (i.e., experiencing violence), but also for indirect exposure (i.e., witnessing violence against a parent or sibling).
Typically, this relationship has been attributed to a social learning process that results in the intergenerational transmission of family violence. In this study, we explore intergenerational transmission in a sample of 816 married women in Bangkok, Thailand to determine
how childhood exposure to violence in the family of origin is related to intimate partner perpetration and victimization during
adulthood. Our results show that there are indeed long-term and significant effects of childhood exposure to family violence
on the likelihood of Thai women’s psychological and physical intimate partner perpetration. However, these effects appear
to be indirect. Additionally, our results demonstrate a direct association between childhood exposure to parental intimate
partner violence and subsequent psychological and physical victimization in adulthood. 相似文献

There are significant, detrimental effects of physical, sexual, and psychological intimate partner violence (IPV) on victims’ mental health and well-being. However, little is known about the impact of economic abuse. To address this gap, the purpose of this study was to examine the association between economic abuse and depression and to explore whether the association between economic abuse and depression could be accounted for by other forms of IPV victimization (physical, sexual, and psychological abuse). Data from 457 female victims of IPV, recruited from 14 domestic violence programs across 10 states and Puerto Rico, were examined to explore the association between economic abuse and depressive symptoms. A series of hierarchical regressions were used to examine whether the addition of economic abuse improved the association between depression over and above participants’ sociodemographic characteristics and experiences of psychological, physical, and sexual IPV. The majority (93%) of participants reported experiencing economic abuse from their intimate partner. The findings from a series of multiple regression analyses revealed that economic abuse was uniquely associated with depression after accounting for other forms of IPV victimization and the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants. Implications include the need for screening, intervention, and prevention of economic abuse among IPV victims and continued research regarding economic abuse experiences. 相似文献

This study investigates whether depression in women who experienced intimate partner violence is associated with having also experienced childhood sexual and physical abuse, psychological abuse by an intimate partner, recent involvement with the abusive partner, and bodily pain. Fifty-seven women who had left a violent relationship with an intimate partner completed measures assessing their demographic characteristics, experiences of abuse in childhood and in their relationship with their intimate partner, and depressive symptoms. Multiple regression analysis showed that women's depression was significantly greater among those who had experienced childhood physical and sexual abuse, more severe psychological abuse, and greater bodily pain (p<.001), adjusted R(2)=.32. These results suggest characteristics that can help to identify abused women who are most at risk for depression, and they suggest specific issues that may need to be addressed in this population. 相似文献

This article explores how women empowerment affects Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Bangladesh using a cross-sectional
investigation of currently married women (n = 4,181) sampled via the Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey (BDHS), 2007. About one-fourth (24%) of currently married Bangladeshi
women experienced both physical and/or sexual IPV in the past year. Prevalence of physical and sexual violence was 19.4% and
10.5%, respectively. Younger generation (age 15–24), illiterate, rural, and the poorest household wealth categorized women
were much victimized. Current employment status predicted intimate partner violence. Household decision-making pattern also
emerged as a predictor of IPV. Likelihood of all forms of IPV increases with increase of number of participation in household
decision-making. Promoting women empowerment in the household without men’s support may put women at more risk of IPV. 相似文献

This paper examines the developmental antecedents of interpartner violence (IPV) victimization and perpetration in a New Zealand
birth cohort (n = 828). The study found: (a) IPV occurred in 70% of relationships, with conflict ranging from minor psychological abuse to
severe assault; (b) men and women reported similar experiences of victimization and perpetration of IPV; (c) exposure to abuse
in childhood, family dysfunction and adversity, childhood and adolescent conduct problems, and alcohol abuse/dependence were
significant predictors of IPV victimization and perpetration at age 25; and (d) the antecedents of IPV were largely the same
for males and females, although the specific effects of these risk factors differed according to gender. Conduct disorder
was more strongly predictive of IPV for females, whereas family adversity was more strongly predictive of IPV victimisation
for males. 相似文献

Some research suggests that the risk of physical aggression by an intimate partner is related to marital status, but this relationship may vary across cultures and by gender. In the present study, we systematically examine the relationship between marital status and physical partner aggression by gender across 19 countries. Logistic and multilevel regression confirmed previous findings of lower rates of physical aggression for legally married versus cohabiting and separated/divorced women and men across most, but notably, not all countries. Single status was associated with higher risk in some countries and lower in others reflecting possible cultural differences in risk for different marital statuses. For example, single women had significantly lower rates of victimization than did married women in India where violence against wives is often accepted. The variation in the cross-cultural findings highlights the importance of examining both men and women and considering the cultural context when interpreting the relationship between partner aggression and marital status. 相似文献

In the last several decades, the field of family violence has paid increasing attention to children’s exposure to partner violence (CEPV). Most of this research has focused on the children of women seeking help for partner violence (PV) victimization. In this paper we examine exposure to PV among children of men who sought help for PV victimization (n?=?408), as compared with children of men in a population-based sample (n?=?666). We examined children’s exposure to psychological, physical, and sexual PV and also examined CEPV that is perpetrated by women, men, or both partners. The results show that CEPV is higher among children of helpseeking men than among children of men from the population-based sample, and that most of that PV is perpetrated by the female partner. We did not find differences in CEPV based in child age or gender. We discuss implications for the field of family violence professionals. 相似文献

The current study expands previous research by examining the relationship between problematic alcohol and drug use and partner violence among a large sample of male and female college students and by partitioning out severe victimization for separate analysis. Data came from the International Dating Violence Study and included 4162 students from 19 colleges in the U.S. (69.1% women, 30.9% men). Victimization was measured using the revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2). There was no significant main effect for alcohol use, but analysis of the interaction with gender found that problematic alcohol use was associated with victimization of men. Problematic drug use was associated with physical victimization, injury, severe physical victimization, severe psychological victimization, and severe injury for the overall sample in multivariate models. Interaction effects showed that elevated odds of severe injuries were associated high drug scores for women. Dating violence programs addressing dating violence on campuses are urged to include discussions on drug use and victimization of men. 相似文献

The current study used a random sample of 502 men and women to investigate the intergenerational transmission of violence
and assess the impact of family-of-origin violence on later adult intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and victimization
while controlling for a host of theoretically-relevant factors and demographic characteristics. Six multivariate logistic
regression analyses were modeled to identify differential correlates depending upon type of violence perpetration and victimization.
Findings indicated a significant relationship between family-of-origin violence and psychological perpetration and victimization.
The acceptance of violence in relationships significantly correlated with physical violence perpetration. Finally, being married,
older, and employed protected against several forms of interpersonal violence. Policy implications are discussed. 相似文献
