These multifaceted roles taken on by graduate students have received relatively minimal research regarding sex-based discrimination and sexual violence incidents, which are reportable under Title IX. Our research questions encompassed what barriers graduate students faced in reporting to Title IX, as well as graduate students' experiences reporting Title IX incidents and their suggestions for improvement to the process. Our study addresses these gaps via semi-structured focus groups and individual interviews with 22 graduate students at one University. Our results revealed that graduate students faced sexual violence along with sex-based harassment and discrimination perpetrated by peers and faculty. While some incidents were unreported due to a lack of clarity and transparency in policies, those who reported often had unsatisfactory experiences regardless of the entity they reported to, including the Title IX office.

It is imperative to understand students' viewpoints, as studies have demonstrated a negative correlation between students' bullying behaviors and their impressions of instructors' attempts to curb bullying. Furthermore, anti-bullying attitudes are also an important influencing factor for bullying behavior; therefore, this study draws upon theories such as social cognition and goal framing, from students' perspectives, to explore the mechanisms among teacher responses to bullying, bullying, and anti-bullying attitudes. The present study analyzed data from 1,560 adolescents in cross-sectional models and 365 adolescents in longitudinal models. The study's findings indicate that (a) nonintervention had a significantly positive predictive effect on bullying, supportive/relational interventions had a considerably negative predictive effect; and disciplinary methods did not significantly predict bullying; (b) anti-bullying attitudes acted as a mediating factor in the correlations between nonintervention and bullying as well as between supportive/relational interventions and bullying; (c) T2 anti-bullying attitudes played a full mediating role between T1 supportive/relational interventions and T2 bullying in our longitudinal models. By offering a theoretical foundation for later studies on school bullying, our study advances empirical research on the influence of instructors on bullying in schools. Based on the research findings, appropriate intervention strategies for teachers are suggested to help them effectively address school bullying and reduce its occurrence.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"9286-9314"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145191787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The VRS was translated and back-translated by a translation committee, following the guidelines by Sousa and Rojjanasrirat. Pilot testing was conducted to ensure content clarity and equivalence. A convenience and snowball sampling approach recruited 67 helping professionals over approximately 6 months, including mental health counselors, social workers, and other service providers, such as medical and legal professionals. Approximately half of the sample was identified as queer (gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual). An exploratory factor analysis revealed a seven-factor structure of the Chinese VRS, which partially aligns with the original scale while reflecting culturally specific differences. Four items were removed due to poor factor loadings and cross-loadings. The adapted scale demonstrated good internal consistency, reliability, and satisfactory convergent validity with related constructs, including compassion, satisfaction, and burnout. However, no significant correlation was found between secondary traumatic stress and self-compassion. These findings suggest that vicarious resilience can be conceptualized in ways that are both universal and culturally specific across diverse contexts. For example, among Chinese helping professionals, most of whom are non-religious and navigate power within a distinct sociopolitical context, the meanings of self-care and social-location awareness may diverge from Western norms. This study marks the first step toward a culturally attuned tool that helps Chinese helping professionals, agencies, supervisors, and researchers open structured conversations about resilience and tailor supports, such as intentional self-care, peer groups, and hope-focused supervision, to sustain GBV practitioners. By pinpointing which factors bolster vicarious resilience, the scale can also guide educator curricula and inform policy decisions on funding, protected time, and targeted resources to safeguard this workforce's well-being.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"8862-8886"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145040078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to reveal the long-term mechanisms and potential pathways of childhood adversity on the development of IPV in the Chinese MSM population, to mitigate the long-term effects of childhood adversity, and ultimately reduce the incidence of IPV. This study used a cross-sectional survey to recruit 1,130 MSM participants in three Chinese cities. In this population, we utilized network analysis and path analysis to further explore the relationship between childhood adversity, psychological factors, and IPV. The results of the network analysis suggested that psychological factors may play an important mediating role between childhood adversity and IPV. The results of the path analysis indicated that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) (<i>β</i> = .08, <i>p</i> = .013) and parental rejection (<i>β</i> = .10, <i>p</i> = .03) were direct risk factors for IPV. In addition, childhood adversity played an indirect role in IPV through psychological factors. In conclusion, the prevalence of childhood adversity, mental health problems, and IPV is high in the Chinese MSM population. The presence of ACEs and parental rejection predisposes individuals to IPV through the mediation of psychological factors.

This internalization may make individuals more sensitive to perceived threats in their relationships, which can increase feelings of jealousy. In turn, internalized bisexual myths and heightened jealousy may contribute to the perpetration of psychological intimate partner violence (IPV) within bi+ relationships. Thus, in this study, we aimed to examine the parallel mediating roles of cognitive and emotional jealousy in the association between internalized bisexual myths and psychological IPV perpetration. A sample of 230 bi+ individuals from Türkiye completed the (Internalized) Bisexual Myths Scale, the Multidimensional Jealousy Scale, and the Multidimensional Measure of Emotional Abuse Short Form. Overall, 94.3% of bi+ individuals reported perpetrating at least one act of psychological IPV against their partners within the past 6 months. Results from the parallel mediation analyses revealed that both cognitive and emotional jealousy mediated the relationship between internalized bisexual myths and psychological IPV perpetration. These findings suggest that bi+ individuals who internalize bisexual myths and exhibit higher levels of emotional and cognitive jealousy may be more susceptible to perpetrating psychological IPV against their partners. This study underscores the need for further research to better understand psychological IPV perpetration among bi+ individuals, highlighting the value of qualitative and longitudinal methods for gaining deeper insights.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"8944-8969"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145040334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While recent studies have incorporated both spatial and temporal dimensions of this relationship, particularly within-day variations, how this temporally differentiated association of alcohol outlets with violent crimes varies depending on the broader context, such as social disorganization, remains underexplored. This study addresses this research gap by investigating whether the relationship between alcohol outlets and assaults in New York City from 2017 to 2019 differs by time of the day, while accounting for neighborhood structures in terms of their independent and conditional associations with assaults. Data on assaults, alcohol outlets, and neighborhood characteristics were acquired from various open sources, resulting in a dataset with 37,259 census blocks embedded within 2,090 census tracts. Using the 2015 to 2019 American Time Use Survey report, this study divided the day into four periods-morning, daytime, evening, and night-and applied a series of multilevel negative binomial regressions to capture the geographically hierarchical structure between census blocks and census tracts. Findings reveal that on-premises alcohol outlets, grocery/convenience stores, liquor/wine stores, and social disorganization indicators are positively associated with assaults throughout the day. The only exception is racial heterogeneity at night. Furthermore, cross-level interaction analyses indicate that the significance of the interaction terms differs by the time of day, the type of alcohol outlets, and social disorganization indicators. Furthermore, the relationship between alcohol outlets and assaults is weaker in more disorganized neighborhoods. These results highlight the importance of considering crime opportunity, social disorganization, and temporal dynamics in understanding the relationship between alcohol outlets and crime.

Furthermore, adverse experiences were found to modify the effect of social support on NSSI thoughts, as social support was negatively associated with NSSI thoughts by reducing psychotic-like experiences in threatening experience group and deprivation experience group with unstable parent's marital status; however, the protective effect of social support on NSSI thoughts and behaviors was not significant in deprivation experience group with emotional neglect.
