Psychological violence is the most common form of intimate partner violence (IPV). Psychological IPV places women at significant risk for depressive symptoms. Accordingly, this study examined the moderator role of perceived social support and learned resourcefulness (LR) as personal resources in the relationship between psychological IPV and depression. This cross-sectional study was performed via an online survey platform. A total of 168 Turkish women, with a mean age of 33.8, completed a set of measurement tools. Data were assessed using linear regression and two-way and three-way interactions in moderated multiple regression analyses. The results of the study showed that as expected psychological IPV was directly associated with depression (β = .268, < .001). To explore the moderator roles, two separate two-way interactions were conducted, and results demonstrated that neither social support nor LR separately moderated the relationship between psychological IPV and depression. However, there was a significant three-way interaction: togetherness of perceived social support with LR moderated the relationship between psychological IPV and depression (β = -.388, < .05). More specifically, if women exposed to psychological IPV have high perceived social support and high LR, they are less likely to report depressive symptoms. This finding highlights the positive effect of the combination of personal resources on depression linked to psychological IPV's detrimental effects. The findings were discussed in the light of the relevant literature. Interventions focusing on strengthening social support and fostering LR skills may promote the psychological well-being of women exposed to psychological IPV.
心理暴力是亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）最常见的形式。心理 IPV 使女性面临抑郁症状的重大风险。因此，本研究探讨了感知社会支持和习得的应变能力（LR）作为个人资源在心理 IPV 与抑郁之间的关系中的调节作用。这项横断面研究是通过在线调查平台进行的。共有 168 名土耳其女性，平均年龄为 33.8 岁，完成了一组测量工具。数据采用线性回归和双向及三向交互作用的调节多元回归分析进行评估。研究结果表明，正如预期的那样，心理 IPV 与抑郁直接相关（β=.268，<.001）。为了探索调节作用，进行了两次单独的双向交互作用，结果表明，社会支持或 LR 都不能单独调节心理 IPV 与抑郁之间的关系。然而，存在显著的三向交互作用：感知社会支持与 LR 的结合调节了心理 IPV 与抑郁之间的关系（β=-.388，<.05）。更具体地说，如果暴露于心理 IPV 的女性具有较高的感知社会支持和较高的 LR，她们报告抑郁症状的可能性就较小。这一发现强调了个人资源的组合对与心理 IPV 的有害影响相关的抑郁的积极影响。研究结果在相关文献的基础上进行了讨论。注重加强社会支持和培养 LR 技能的干预措施可能会促进暴露于心理 IPV 的女性的心理健康。
