This study tests a conceptual model exploring the mediating effects of perceived severity and assessed risk in the relationship between dependency and help-seeking behaviors in psychological, physical, and sexual violence.
The sample consisted of 266 survivors of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) ( = 27.88 years; = 9.49), of which 23.7% reported having suffered physical violence from their partner or former partner, 83.8% psychological violence, and 54.1% sexual violence.
Higher dependency scores were associated with lower perceived severity of violence, lower assessed levels of risk, and thus elevated difficulty in engaging in help seeking in all types of violence.
Educating on equality and raising awareness of the seriousness and risk of IPVAW will be critical in facilitating help-seeking responses.
本研究测试了一个概念模型,该模型探讨了在心理、身体和性暴力中,感知到的严重性和评估出的风险在依赖与求助行为之间关系中的中介作用。
样本包括266名遭受亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女(IPVAW)的幸存者(平均年龄=27.88岁;标准差=9.49),其中23.7%报告曾遭受来自其伴侣或前伴侣的身体暴力,83.8%遭受心理暴力,54.1%遭受性暴力。
在所有类型的暴力中,较高的依赖得分与较低的暴力感知严重性、较低的风险评估水平相关,因此在寻求帮助方面存在更大困难。
开展平等教育并提高对亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为的严重性和风险的认识,对于促进求助反应至关重要。
