We developed an age-appropriate 10-item HD measure informed by previously validated ACE measures and tested its concurrent validity with dating violence (DV) perpetration, lifetime substance use, and mental health outcomes among middle schoolers in Southeast Texas. This cross-sectional study used the baseline data from a DV prevention intervention program for sixth graders (<i>N</i> = 126), Me & You Tech. Baseline data were collected from March 2023 to April 2023. To test the concurrent validity of the newly developed HD measure, we conducted a series of multivariable regression models regarding the association between HD and the six key outcomes while controlling for covariates. The most common type of HD exposure was parental separation/divorce (33.3%). We found significant associations between HD and physical (AOR = 1.45; 95% CI [1.00, 2.10]) and psychological DV perpetration (AOR = 1.75; 95% CI [1.20, 2.56]). For each additional reported HD exposure, there were 61% higher odds for adolescents to engage in lifetime alcohol use (AOR = 1.61; 95% CI [1.11, 2.34]). Finally, we found significant associations between HD and depression (β = 1.34; 95% CI [0.57, 2.12]) and HD and anxiety (β = 1.28; 95% CI [0.52, 2.03]). Our findings suggest the HD measure is pragmatic and has strong evidence of concurrent validity. This measure may be a helpful tool in assessing HD among middle school-aged adolescents, both in school and clinic settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"3751-3771"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13139674/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144173953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Negative binomial regression analyses found that identifying as a woman or gender-diverse, working as venue staff, and experiencing multiple harassment types was associated with reporting significantly more consequences for verbal sexual harassment. For physical sexual harassment, younger age, infrequent nightlife attendance, and experiencing multiple harassment types were associated with greater consequences, while for pressured sexual contact, only gender was significant, with women reporting more consequences than men. Sexual harassment in nightlife settings is associated with significant adverse emotional and behavioral outcomes, particularly among women, gender-diverse individuals, and those subject to multiple forms of harassment.

Twenty-seven women were recruited through social media and consented to participate in a confidential interview conducted via telephone. The interview data was analyzed using content analysis. Findings found that survivors' perceptions of help-seeking varied, with participants recognizing potential support from members of their social network while also viewing IPV as a private matter. Fear of blame and encouragement to end relationships were identified as barriers to seeking help. Positive experiences with help-seeking included feeling empowered, prioritizing health, safety planning, and encouragement to seek formal support, such as healthcare providers and crisis centers. Factors delaying formal help-seeking included experiencing emotional abuse only, concern for children, cultural attitudes, and a lack of awareness about resources. Situation severity and support from friends and family influenced help-seeking behaviors. Strategies to increase help-seeking behaviors included educating survivors and their support networks and using technology to improve resource accessibility. These findings suggested that multi-professionals and policymakers should understand the complexities of help-seeking behaviors and provide culturally appropriate IPV and mental health resources.

Thus, the present study assessed how maladaptive personality, negative emotionality, and impulsivity may be associated with CDA and whether these characteristics could comprise distinct profiles to predict differences in CDA victimization and perpetration. Predominantly Latinx female college students (<i>N</i> = 590, <i>M</i>_age = 20.35, 75.6% female) completed an online questionnaire assessing CDA, dark triad, depression, anxiety, stress, and impulsiveness. A latent profile analysis generated profiles based on background characteristics (e.g., maladaptive personality) to predict sexual and nonsexual CDA perpetration and victimization. Results from four Kruskal-Wallis tests indicated significant differences between profile membership and sexual and nonsexual CDA perpetration and victimization. Individuals in the profile with relatively low levels of maladaptive personality traits, impulsivity, and subclinical levels of negative emotionality displayed the lowest levels of CDA, which indicates that negative emotionality may function as a catalyst to exacerbate impulsively engaging in CDA. Further, impulsive individuals with greater negative emotionality may also be more likely to seek validation online and to be victimized as a result.

This exodus includes women enduring the traumas of displacement alongside sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Upon reaching supposed places of refuge, they encounter the structural violence of immigration and asylum regimes. Against this backdrop, the intersection of SGBV, forced migration, and structural violence emerges as an urgent area of study. Drawing from extensive qualitative interviews in Australia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, we set out to examine the impact of structural violence on the lives of forced migrant survivors of SGBV. The article introduces a novel framework to analyze how SGBV, forced migration and structural violence intersect and impact on the lives of survivors. The framework synthesizes (a) the intimate violence of dependency, (b) the slow violence of everyday life, and (c) the gender insensitivity characteristic of determination regimes. Survivors endure a range of injustices: the intimate violence of dependency traps women in controlling relationships; the asylum system's slow violence leaves them in substandard and undignified conditions; and gender-insensitivity renders their SGBV experiences invisible, often retraumatizing survivors. Within this framework, we describe how these intersecting forms of structural violence underpinning immigration systems, systematically fail those at risk of SGBV, rendering them vulnerable to interpersonal violence instead of protecting them. We call for immigration and asylum systems to prioritize the protection and well-being of women, many of whom are SGBV survivors. As forced migrants face increasingly hostile statutory regimes, we must recognize and address the structural violence that perpetuates harm and denies them protection. Failure to act risks further perpetuating the cycle of violence, trauma and injustice, undermining principles of safety and refuge for those in dire need.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"3422-3452"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13139677/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144216017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LCA resulted in three profiles: (a) combined isolation (11.27%), (b) external isolation (47.27%), and (c) internal isolation (41.46%). The combined isolation profile experienced multiple severe adverse experiences throughout life, while the external isolation group was characterized by modest unemployment or difficulty finding a job, challenges in forming interpersonal relationships, and mental health issues. This class had the highest levels of external isolation and no internal isolation. The internal isolation class exhibited similar patterns of adverse experiences, with slight variations in the severity of those experiences. The internal isolation class was characterized by both internal and external social isolation, with the highest level of internal isolation among all classes.
