Studies on mental health effects of partner violence often ignore multiple victimizations or polyvictimization. The current study had several objectives: (a) examine the rate of physical, psychological, and sexual victimization and combinations of them (polyvictimization) among a sample of students at 19 U.S. colleges; (b) examine the association between victimization and depressive symptoms and posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms; and (c) examine the relation of polyvictimization to these mental health effects. A substantial number were polyvictims. As predicted, polyvictimization in almost all analyses was the strongest predictor of PTS symptoms for both men and women. Polyvictimization was a significant predictor of depressive symptoms for women. These findings highlight the importance of including polyvictimization in future work on the mental health effects of partner violence.
关于伴侣暴力对心理健康影响的研究常常忽视多重受害或多重受害经历。本研究有几个目标：（a）调查美国19所大学学生样本中的身体、心理和性侵害发生率及其组合情况（多重受害）；（b）研究受害经历与抑郁症状和创伤后应激（PTS）症状之间的关联；（c）研究多重受害与这些心理健康影响之间的关系。相当一部分人是多重受害者。正如预测的那样，在几乎所有分析中，多重受害都是男性和女性PTS症状的最强预测因素。多重受害是女性抑郁症状的重要预测因素。这些发现凸显了在未来关于伴侣暴力对心理健康影响的研究中纳入多重受害的重要性。
