Latinas/os/xs experience pervasive rates of interpersonal violence victimization while also experiencing frequent discrimination and societal trauma (e.g., hate crimes). Betrayal trauma theory and cultural betrayal trauma theory provide frameworks for examining the distinct harm of violence perpetrated by a close other and by a member of the same marginalized group(s), respectively. However, no known research has examined the concurrent impacts of both forms of betrayal among Latina/o/x young adults. The current study examined the unique and multiplicative effects of high betrayal trauma (i.e., violence perpetrated by a close other) and cultural betrayal trauma (i.e., violence perpetrated by someone of the same marginalized group(s)) on psychological and physical health symptoms in Latina/o/x young adults. Latina/o/x undergraduate students ( = 208) participated in a 60-minute online survey assessing violence victimization, psychological symptoms, and physical health. Rates of victimization (91.35%, = 190) were high across differing forms of violence. Interactions of high betrayal trauma and cultural betrayal trauma were significant for psychological, physical, and anxiety symptoms. Although there were no significant simple effects, the pattern of results suggested that being assaulted by someone who shares one's Latina/o/x identity was more strongly associated with psychological and physical symptoms when participants had not been assaulted by someone with whom they were close. The current study highlights the importance of culturally competent therapy for Latina/o/x survivors that incorporates the interpersonal and cultural contexts of victimization.
拉丁裔群体遭受人际暴力侵害的比例普遍较高，同时还经常遭受歧视和社会创伤（例如仇恨犯罪）。背叛创伤理论和文化背叛创伤理论分别为研究亲密他人实施的暴力以及同一边缘化群体成员实施的暴力所造成的独特伤害提供了框架。然而，尚无已知研究考察这两种背叛形式对拉丁裔青年成年人的共同影响。本研究考察了高背叛创伤（即亲密他人实施的暴力）和文化背叛创伤（即同一边缘化群体成员实施的暴力）对拉丁裔青年成年人心理和身体健康症状的独特及相乘效应。拉丁裔本科生（(n = 208)）参与了一项60分钟的在线调查，评估暴力受害情况、心理症状和身体健康状况。不同形式暴力的受害率都很高（91.35%，(n = 190)）。高背叛创伤和文化背叛创伤的交互作用对心理、身体和焦虑症状具有显著影响。尽管没有显著的简单效应，但结果模式表明，当参与者没有受到亲密之人的攻击时，遭受具有相同拉丁裔身份的人的攻击与心理和身体症状的关联更强。本研究强调了对拉丁裔幸存者进行具有文化胜任力治疗的重要性，这种治疗应纳入受害的人际和文化背景。
