Intimate partner violence is a serious and pervasive social problem with deleterious consequences for survivors' well-being. The current study involved interviewing 160 survivors 6 times over 2 years to examine the role of social support in explaining or buffering these negative psychological consequences. The authors examined both between- and within-persons variability to explore women's trajectories regarding their experiences of abuse, social support, depression, and quality of life (QOL). Findings revealed the complex role of social support on women's well-being. Evidence was found for main, mediating, and moderating effects of social support on women's well-being. First, social support was positively related to QOL and negatively related to depression. Social support also partially explained the effect of baseline level and subsequent change in physical abuse on QOL and depression over time, partially mediated the effects of change in psychological abuse, and moderated the impact of abuse on QOL. The buffering effects of social support were strongest at lower levels of abuse. Implications for future research and intervention are discussed.
亲密伴侣暴力是一个严重且普遍的社会问题，对幸存者的幸福感有不良影响。本研究通过对 160 名幸存者进行 6 次访谈，历时 2 年，考察了社会支持在解释或缓冲这些负面心理后果方面的作用。作者同时考察了个体间和个体内的变化，以探讨女性在遭受虐待、社会支持、抑郁和生活质量（QOL）方面的经历轨迹。研究结果揭示了社会支持对女性幸福感的复杂作用。有证据表明，社会支持对女性幸福感具有主要、中介和调节作用。首先，社会支持与 QOL 呈正相关，与抑郁呈负相关。社会支持还部分解释了基线水平和随后的身体虐待对 QOL 和抑郁的影响，部分中介了心理虐待的变化，调节了虐待对 QOL 的影响。在较低的虐待水平下，社会支持的缓冲作用最强。讨论了对未来研究和干预的影响。
