The present study tested a section of the model of coercion in intimate partner violence (IPV) by investigating the relationships among coercion, IPV and mental health symptoms. The study's sample consisted of 573 culturally diverse university students (age M = 21.4) who completed a survey that measured past IPV victimization, coercive behaviors, and mental health symptoms. Structural equation modeling analyses revealed that coercion was a stronger predictor of adverse mental health symptoms than was IPV victimization. In addition, the study found that the adverse effect of coercive behaviors on mental health symptoms was stronger among female victims of IPV than among male IPV victims. The results have implications for theory building, future research, and mental health professionals who work with female and male victims of IPV.
本研究通过调查胁迫、亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)和心理健康症状之间的关系,对亲密伴侣暴力中的胁迫模型的一部分进行了测试。该研究的样本包括573名文化背景各异的大学生(平均年龄M = 21.4岁),他们完成了一项测量过去IPV受害情况、胁迫行为和心理健康症状的调查。结构方程模型分析表明,与IPV受害情况相比,胁迫是心理健康症状更有力的预测指标。此外,研究发现,胁迫行为对心理健康症状的负面影响在女性IPV受害者中比在男性IPV受害者中更强。这些结果对理论构建、未来研究以及为IPV的女性和男性受害者提供服务的心理健康专业人员具有启示意义。
