Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to examine the mediating role of awareness, cognitive flexibility, positive attitude towards the future, and social support in the relationship between perceived abuse and resilience in women.

Method

The researchers used structural equation modelling to test whether internal protective factors such as mindfulness, cognitive flexibility, positive attitudes towards the future, and external protective factors such as perceived social support from family and friends play a role as protective factors in the effect of abuse women perceive in their romantic relationships on their resilience. Within the scope of this research, data were collected by purposive sampling method from 818 women aged 18 and over who are currently in a romantic relationship.

Results

The findings of this study revealed that the hypothetical model established based on the literature was not rejected [χ² / df = 4,400; RMSEA = 0.065; SRMR: 057; CFI = 0.951; NFI =, 938; TLI / NNFI = 0.925; GFI = 0.964; AGFI = 0.935]. Besides, it has been found that internal and external protective factors together explain 52% of the change in resilience.

Conclusions

The mediating role of the internal and external protective factors in the model revealed that they play a crucial role in the process of developing resilience among women. The findings obtained from the research were discussed within the scope of the related literature and suggestions were presented to researchers and those working in the practice field for further studies.

女性恋爱关系中从受虐到复原的过程：模式测试研究

方法研究人员使用结构方程模型来检验正念、认知灵活性、对未来的积极态度等内部保护因素和感知到的来自家庭和朋友的社会支持等外部保护因素是否在女性感知到的恋爱关系中的虐待对其复原力的影响中发挥保护作用。在本研究范围内，通过有目的的抽样方法收集了 818 名年龄在 18 岁及以上、目前处于恋爱关系中的女性的数据。结果本研究结果显示，根据文献建立的假设模型未被拒绝[χ² / df = 4,400; RMSEA = 0.065; SRMR: 057; CFI = 0.951; NFI =, 938; TLI / NNFI = 0.925; GFI = 0.964; AGFI = 0.935]。此外，研究还发现，内部和外部保护因素共同解释了复原力变化的 52%。结论内部和外部保护因素在模型中的中介作用表明，它们在妇女复原力的发展过程中起着至关重要的作用。研究结果在相关文献范围内进行了讨论，并向研究人员和实践领域的工作人员提出了进一步研究的建议。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Family Violence (JOFV) is a peer-reviewed publication committed to the dissemination of rigorous research on preventing, ending, and ameliorating all forms of family violence. JOFV welcomes scholarly articles related to the broad categories of child abuse and maltreatment, dating violence, domestic and partner violence, and elder abuse. Within these categories, JOFV emphasizes research on physical violence, psychological violence, sexual violence, and homicides that occur in families. Studies on families in all their various forms and diversities are welcome. JOFV publishes studies using quantitative, qualitative, and/or mixed methods involving the collection of primary data. Rigorous systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical analyses are also welcome. To help advance scientific understandings of family violence, JOFV is especially interested in research using transdisciplinary perspectives and innovative research methods. Because family violence is a global problem requiring solutions from diverse disciplinary perspectives, JOFV strongly encourages submissions from scholars worldwide from all disciplines and backgrounds.
