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

Using a diathesis–stress model, this study examined the development of depressive and anxiety symptoms in women who experience
stressors of domestic violence (DV) and/or negative life events (NLEs) over the course of three years. Family history of affective
mental health problems represented the diathesis. Using a person-oriented approach, 182 women were grouped into 6 risk profiles
based on varying levels of DV and NLEs. Results showed that family history of psychopathology increased vulnerability to mental
health disorders; however, the best predictor of symptoms was the presence of either stressor at any time. A quadratic relationship
between the risk pattern and mental health symptoms indicated that fluctuations in depression were related to the pattern
of stress experienced. Results support the diathesis–stress model for occurrence of depressive but not anxiety symptoms in
women with DV and/or NLEs. 相似文献

A number of theorists posit that most women who are arrested for using violence against their intimate partners are in-fact
victims of IPV themselves and should be treated as such. However, in this population of women IPV arrestees empirical investigation
has yet to explore how physical and emotional victimization experiences are associated with arrest related factors, propensity
to be abusive or attitude toward using relationship violence. The current study explores these factors finding no difference
in arrest factors between women who (a) deny abuse, (b) report rare/occasional abuse and (c) report frequent/very frequent
abuse. However, mixed results were found with regard to participants’ responses on scales measuring propensity to be abusive
and attitudes about using violence in marriage. Theoretical and practical related issues are addressed. 相似文献

Dating Violence Victimization,Relationship Satisfaction,Mental Health Problems,and Acceptability of Violence: A Comparison of Men and Women 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two of the most common reported consequences of dating violence are its impact on the victim’s satisfaction with their romantic
relationship and its impact on the victim’s mental health. Recent research suggests that the strength of these relationships
may be moderated by the degree to which the dating violence is acceptable to the victim. However, studies of these relationships
have been limited to samples of women. The purpose of the present research was to examine the relationships among dating violence
victimization, relationship satisfaction, mental health problems, and acceptability of violence for a sample that includes
not only female victims, but also male victims. Using a sample of 155 male and 417 female college students, hierarchical regression
analyses found that dating violence victimization is associated with relationship satisfaction and mental health problems
for both men and women. For men, acceptability of violence moderated the relationship between dating violence victimization
and the mental health problems of depression, anxiety, and somatization. For women, acceptability of violence moderated the
relationship between dating violence victimization and relationship satisfaction only.

Mental health courts (MHCs) represent an important new development at the interface of the criminal justice and mental health systems. MHCs are criminal courts for persons with mental illness that were in part created to divert this population from jail/prison into community treatment. MHCs are proliferating rapidly despite limited knowledge regarding their characteristics or their efficacy. We surveyed the entire population of adult MHCs in the United States, n = 90. In the past 8 years, MHCs have been created in 34 states, with an aggregate current caseload of 7,560 clients in MHCs nationally. Most courts (92%) reported using jail as a sanction for noncompliance, if only rarely. Further, jail sanction use was significantly predicted by increased judicial supervision and number of felons in the court. Implications for MHCs and social monitoring are discussed. 相似文献

The prevalence of domestic violence (DV) during pregnancy could be high and is associated with significant psychological and
physical impairment for mother and the fetus. The major objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of DV in expectant
mothers who have attended the Iran University of Medical Sciences’ Hospitals (IUMS). In this cross-sectional study, 1,800
subjects were interviewed using a modified questionnaire to determine the prevalence of DV. Consecutive sampling was performed
in six major hospitals of IUMS according to the number of referred patients. The prevalence of DV was found to be 60.6% including
three types of physical, psychological, and sexual violence with the prevalence of 14.6, 60.5 and 23.5%, respectively. Severe
physical DV was 5.3%. Severe psychological and sexual DV were also found in about 24.6 and 3.4% of cases, respectively. DV
had a high prevalence in this study. It is recommended that all accessible pregnant women be screened for DV. Study of the
prevalence of DV within the community with a larger sample size, and using cluster-sampling methodology would be of immense
value. 相似文献

Domestic violence (DV) is a pervasive and serious threat to women's lives and well-being. Medical social workers, family practitioners, and obstetrician–gynecologists are in key positions to screen and offer help. Florida NASW members and board certified family practitioners and obstetrician–gynecologists were mailed a psychometrically tested scale. A total of 388 surveys were analyzed. Education (especially the number of in-service hours) and the presence of institutional supports, decreased barriers to screening, increased screening behaviors, and lead to increased victim identification. Only 20.8% of participants always or nearly always routinely screened for DV; 24.0% reported that routine screening did not apply to their role. Self-Efficacy was the strongest predictor of screening behavior with Fear of Offending, Safety Concerns, CEUs/CMEs, and in-service hours contributing approximately equally to the prediction of screening behavior. 相似文献

The present study examined the effects of gender, ethnicity, acculturation level, age, and education level of Korean and Vietnamese
Americans on their attitudes toward domestic violence. The sample consisted of 229 Koreans and 184 Vietnamese, recruited from
ethnic communities and college campuses in southern California. Participants completed a brief questionnaire, which included
the Revised Attitudes toward Wife Abuse Scale (RAWA) and the Marin and Marin Acculturation Scale as well as demographic variables.
Gender, education, and acculturation level emerged as significant predictors of attitudes toward domestic violence. More specifically,
men as well as those who were less acculturated and less educated were more likely to endorse pro-violence attitudes. While
there were no significant ethnic differences in the global attitude toward domestic violence between the two immigrant groups,
there were specific inter-ethnic differences on select items of the RAWA scale. 相似文献

The relationship between work-home conflict and domestic violence is examined using data from 295 adults, who worked full
time and were in serious relationships. Job satisfaction, gender, gender role attitudes, type of employment, and socioeconomic
status were examined as predictors of work-family conflict. Backward stepwise regression analysis revealed that job satisfaction
was the only predictor of work-home conflict. Regression analyses were again conducted to determine the moderating effects
of general well-being, alcohol use, family of origin violence witnessed or experienced, communication skills, and social support
on the relationship between work-home conflict and domestic violence. Both family of origin violence witnessed and personally
experienced were revealed as moderators of this relationship. The remaining potential moderators were submitted to regression
analyses to determine if they might, instead, be mediators. These analyses revealed that negative communication skills and
social support mediated the relationship between work-home conflict and domestic violence. 相似文献

No one, young or old, is immune to interpersonal violence (IPV). Female victims come from a variety of circumstances and across
all ages. However, much of the research and services have focused almost exclusively on younger women. This article compares
women 65 and older to women under 65, who utilized domestic violence (DV) services in a mid-western state over a five-year
period. Although there are many similarities in the findings, differences include that older victims were more likely to be
White, report more emotional and less physical abuse, be referred to services by a legal source, have special needs or disabilities,
and receive fewer services, less service hours and fewer contacts than younger victims utilizing DV services. Implications
for research and practice are discussed.

While separate evidence exists that married military women have high rates of both intimate partner violence victimization
and aggression, little is known about the context of this violence, including the extent to which the violence committed toward
and by military women is physical, psychological or sexual, whether the violence is unilateral or bi-directional, and the
extent of injury sustained or inflicted. In order to gain a more multi-dimensional understanding of the violence in the lives
of military women, this study involved 248 enlisted females who completed a self-report survey about themselves and their
spouses’ behavior. Results indicate that the majority of violence reported was bi-directional and symmetrical in terms of
type and level of severity. However, enlisted females were more than three times as likely to be victims of unilateral severe
violence as their male civilian spouses. Demographic factors associated with these patterns of violence were also identified.

This paper explores the impact of intimate partner violence on victim health and proposes interdisciplinary coordination between legal and mental health services as a means to assist victims. Data was collected from 95 female petitioners at an upstate New York Domestic Violence Intensive Intervention Court (DVIIC). Study participants completed surveys on physical health, mental health, and social functioning. Survey results demonstrated decreased mental health and social functioning as well as a strong willingness to utilize court-based mental health services if offered. Findings from this study support court-based settings as appropriate sites for addressing mental health needs through collaborative efforts between legal and mental health professionals. 相似文献

Apparent differences between violence against women estimates from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) and the National Violence Against Women Survey (NVAWS) continue to generate confusion. How is it that two surveys purporting to measure the nature and extent of violence against women present such seemingly dissimilar estimates? The answer is found in the important, yet often over-looked details of each survey. Our objective is to clarify some of the reasons for apparent disparities between NCVS and NVAWS estimates by first identifying why published estimates are not comparable. Next, we adjust NCVS estimates to make them comparable to NVAWS estimates by restricting NCVS estimates to 1995 and including only persons age 18 or older, and by applying the NVAWS series victimization counting protocol to NCVS estimates. Contrary to findings in the literature, the NVAWS did not produce statistically greater estimates of violence against women compared to the NCVS. Further, incident counting protocols used in the NVAWS and the recalibrated NCVS increased the error, and decreased the reliability of the estimates.Michael R.

The Migrant Clinicians Network’s Familias con Voz (Families with a Voice) project aims to train migrant men and women to become intimate partner violence (IPV) peer educators
in their communities. In preparation for implementing educational activities, a community survey was conducted with 298 participants
in three Texas border counties. Verbal abuse, such as name calling, was the most frequent type of violence reported. Men perceived
anger as a cause of partner violence significantly more than women. Only 22% of respondents reported knowing of a shelter
they could turn to for help. Surprisingly, a majority of participants cited “seeking help from the police” when asked about
ways to decrease partner violence. Survey results offer insight into developing effective intervention programs by capturing
the intended audiences’ beliefs and attitudes. Additionally, survey results reveal possible strategies for how to tackle IPV
in U.S.-Mexico border migrant farmworker communities.

Social disorganization theory asserts that neighborhood composition affects levels of violence within the community. The purpose
of this article is to analyze the bivariate effects of social disorganization, crime, and collective efficacy, in addition
to the individual factors of gender, race, and a history of child maltreatment, on the acceptance of using violence within
the family. Data from the Norfolk Police Department (2000–2004), 2000 Census, and 2006 Norfolk Residents’ Attitudes about
Crime Survey were used to determine differences in approval of family violence. Results indicated that approval for family
violence is an individual-level phenomenon as well as a community-level occurrence. Various aspects of family violence elicit
different levels of tolerance by both micro- and macro-level characteristics. Implications are discussed. 相似文献

The bulk of “neighborhood effects” research examines the impact of neighborhood conditions cross-sectionally. However, it is critical to understand whether the effects of neighborhood context are situational and whether they endure over time. In this study, we take seriously the notion that there are enduring consequences of exposure to deleterious neighborhood conditions. Using a rich set of longitudinal data on adolescents from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, we estimate the effect of exposure to violence on both internalizing (depression and anxiety) and externalizing problems (aggression). We find that exposure to violence has both an acute and enduring effect on aggression, yet no effect on anxiety-depression, net of individual, family, peer, and neighborhood influences. Part of the enduring effect of violence exposure is explained by changes in social cognitions brought on by the exposure, yet much of the relationship remains to be explained by other causal mechanisms. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to identify longitudinal predictors of any (versus no) episodes of recurrent intimate partner
violence (IPV) and their severity among low-income inner-city women. A secondary analysis was conducted on data from an inception
cohort of 321 previously abused women from the Chicago Women’s Health Risk Study. In a multivariable logistic regression model,
pregnancy, frequency of IPV in the year prior to the baseline interview, and the partner’s use of power and control tactics
increased the odds of recurrent IPV during the follow-up period and leaving an abusive partner reduced the odds. In a multivariate
proportional odds logistic regression model, partner violence outside the home was associated with higher severity of recurrent
IPV, but leaving an abusive partner was not. The results suggest that, for low-income women, leaving an abusive partner may
reduce the risk of recurrent victimization without increasing severity of the recurrent attacks that do occur. 相似文献

Growing up in a violent home predisposes children to a host of behavioral and emotional difficulties. This study examined
whether perpetrator and victim gender have an impact on depressive symptoms and aggressive behavior for victims of child physical
abuse (CPA) and also with regard to witnessing interparental violence (IPV). This study also examined whether witnessing siblings
being abused would elicit high levels of depressive symptoms and aggressive behavior. College students (n = 675) were assessed for both exposure to IPV and child physical abuse prior to age 18. Participants completed measures of
depression and aggression. With regard to victims of CPA, participants victimized by both parents and those victimized by
mothers only had significantly higher levels of aggression. For depressive symptoms, females having both parents as perpetrators
or fathers only had significantly higher depressive symptoms. With regard to witnessing IPV, being abused by both parents
was associated with endorsement of more aggression and depressive symptoms. With regard to witnessing sibling violence, the
results were similar to those found for victims of CPA.
