Previous research, based on intergroup emotions theory, has helped explain the psychological mechanisms that underpin the indirect effects of anti-LGBT+ hate crime, showing that incidents give rise to perceptions of threat among community members, which in turn elicit certain emotional reactions that trigger specific behavioral outcomes. This article provides two significant contributions to this developing knowledgebase. First, it provides an important replication of the theoretical model with another frequently targeted community: Muslim people. In addition, it offers the first quantitative analysis of how combinations of different emotions trigger discrete behavioral responses in the aftermath of hate crime, thereby providing much-needed nuance to the intergroup emotions theory model. Across two studies (Study 1: <i>N</i> = 589 LGBT+ participants; Study 2: <i>N</i> = 347 Muslim participants), we show that, for both LGBT+ and Muslim participants, indirect experiences of hate crimes are associated with greater perceptions of threat, which are then positively associated with anger, anxiety, and shame, that link to behavioral intentions: avoidance, pro-action, security behaviors, and retaliation. Latent class analyses further revealed that participants' emotional reactions tend to cluster into four distinct profiles in both communities: people scored mid-range on all emotions, <i>or</i> high anger with low shame, <i>or</i> high anger with high anxiety, <i>or</i> low shame. These combinations had direct implications for intended behaviors across both groups: experiencing high anger with high anxiety was a cogent motivator of action. Most significantly, we provide new insights into <i>how</i> and <i>why</i> different emotions interact to predict both similar and divergent behaviors in the aftermath of hate crime incidents. Our findings yield important new knowledge that holds the potential of shaping both public policies and practices aimed at addressing the impacts of hate crimes.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"4154-4180"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12308031/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142467666","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}

In Pakistan, new mothers are at a heightened risk of PPD due to the limited availability of psychological assistance and the tabooed status of mental health in society. Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is widely recognized as a substantial risk factor for PPD. The present study attempted to investigate the relationship between PPD and IPV among Pakistani women. In addition, the moderating role of miscarriages in the association between IPV and PPD was also examined. A cross-sectional research approach and purposive sampling technique were used to collect data from mothers ( <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 300) who had delivered 6 weeks to twelve months before. Data was collected on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the Severity of Violence Against Women Scale. The results of the correlational analysis indicated that PPD is positively associated with IPV. Moderation analysis revealed that miscarriage moderates the association between sexual violence and PPD. Findings suggest that IPV is a primary factor contributing to miscarriages and PPD. Treatment and prevention strategies addressing PPD should exert additional efforts to educate and support women to effectively address IPV.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144920984","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}

Youth from equity-deserving communities, such as transgender and gender diverse youth, are more likely to experience both general bullying victimization and identity-based bullying victimization. The current study used nationally representative Canadian data from the 2022 Health Behaviours in School-Aged Children (HBSC) study to examine (a) the prevalence of different forms of bullying victimization, including identity-based bullying, among students of diverse gender identities in two grade cohorts (grades 6–8 and grades 9–10); and (b) the association between these victimization experiences and psychological complaints. Participants consisted of 26,571 youth in grades 6 to 10 from across Canada, including transgender girls ( <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 108), transgender boys ( <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 298), and gender diverse youth ( <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 1,169) who completed self-report measures in school. Factor analyses demonstrated that general and sex/gender identity-based victimization were unique. In general, transgender and gender diverse youth experienced higher levels of both types of victimization relative to their cisgender peers. Multigroup structural equation modeling indicated that sex/gender identity-based bullying was positively associated with psychological complaints for transgender and gender diverse youth only. Findings suggest that approximately one in two transgender and gender diverse youth experience bullying victimization regularly. This victimization is highly pervasive, tends to target their gender and/or sexual orientation, and is associated with poor mental health. Results underscore the importance of including specific components on identity-based bullying, bias, prejudice, and discrimination in bullying prevention and intervention efforts.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144919177","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}

Based on qualitative data gathered through in-depth interviews with 15 participants aged 24 to 47, the research examines how heteronormative family structures and compulsory kinship function as mechanisms of control and legitimize various forms of violence. Addressing a critical gap in Turkish academic literature, which has largely overlooked the experiences of sexual minority individuals with family violence, the study employs conceptual frameworks such as heteropatriarchy, microaggression, and the violence of intimacy. The findings reveal that emotional, psychological, and economic abuses are often justified by families under the guise of love, morality, or family honor. The study underscores the urgent need for inclusive legal protections, accessible social services, and comprehensive awareness-raising initiatives. Ultimately, it contributes to queer and feminist scholarship by offering novel insights into the ambivalent role of the family, as both a space of belonging and a mechanism of discipline.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144915753","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}

Building on these findings, the present study explores gender differences in the mediating and moderating pathways linking EPV to mental health outcomes. Data were collected from a stratified random sample of 2,721 Palestinian adolescents ( <jats:italic>M</jats:italic> <jats:sub>age</jats:sub> = 16.01, <jats:italic>SD</jats:italic> = 0.94; 58% girls) residing in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Findings indicated that EPV was associated with both internalizing and externalizing symptoms across the sample. Girls reported higher levels of internalizing symptoms than boys following EPV. Moderation analyses revealed that SE mitigated the effects of EPV on symptoms among both genders, particularly among girls. In contrast, PSS did not significantly moderate these relationships. A sequential mediation pathway emerged, showing that low SE was associated with lower levels of PSS among girls. These findings underscore the importance of accounting for gender differences in understanding resilience to political violence. They highlight the complex interplay of protective and risk factors shaping the psychological functioning of youth in politically unstable environments.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144915693","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}

A deeper understanding of this issue is essential for providing evidence-based healthcare and effective support for male victims. Therefore, this study aims to (a) describe the characteristics of sexual violence among male victims seeking emergency care at Sweden’s largest sexual assault center and (b) examine whether the occurrence of injuries and the severity of violence differ according to victim characteristics, assault characteristics, and the victim’s relationship to the assailant. This retrospective study analyzed 245 anonymized medical and forensic records of men who visited Stockholm’s sexual assault center, Sweden, from 2015 to 2022. The severity of violence was assessed with an adapted NorVold Abuse Questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. In our dataset, 92% of victims experienced severe acts of sexual violence, and 27% faced severe physical violence during the assault. Assaults by a group were associated with increased severity of physical violence in the adjusted model (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 3.9, 95% CI [1.2, 12.5]). Additionally, 65% of victims sustained extragenital injuries, which were linked to being assaulted by a known assailant (AOR = 5.8 [1.4, 24.9]), the victim being under the influence of substances during the assault (AOR = 2.5 [1.0, 6.4]), and exposure to moderate/severe physical violence (AOR = 6.6 [2.5, 17.1]). Regarding the victim’s mental health history, 24% reported having a neuropsychiatric diagnosis and 48% reported a psychiatric disorder. Additionally, 45% had a history of prior sexual assault. Our study suggests that the men who sought post-assault care frequently reported experiencing physical violence during the sexual assault, particularly in cases involving multiple assailants. The high prevalence of self-reported mental illness, neuropsychiatric diagnoses, and prior sexual assault among these individuals underscores the need for psychosocial support for this patient group.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144915752","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}

Participants completed an online survey containing measures of demographics, risk factors (i.e., rape myth acceptance, heavy episodic drinking, exposure to workplace sexual harassment), protective factors (i.e., likelihood of consent-supportive behaviors, bystander efficacy, personal sexual beliefs, perceived sexual norms), and sexual aggression. Unadjusted logistic regressions were used to examine bivariate associations between risk and protective factors with sexual aggression, whereas hierarchical modeling was used to examine adjusted and sex-moderated associations. Results indicated that—other than heavy episodic drinking and perceived sexual norms—risk and protective factors had significant bivariate associations with sexual aggression. In hierarchical modeling, rape myth acceptance and exposure to workplace sexual harassment were associated with increased risk of sexual aggression, while the likelihood of consent-supportive behaviors was associated with decreased risk. However, interaction results indicated that rape myth acceptance was associated with increased aggression risk only among male sailors, and the likelihood of consent-supportive behaviors was associated with decreased aggression risk only among female sailors. Prevention initiatives working to reduce rape myth acceptance and improve the likelihood of consent-supportive behaviors may benefit from being tailored toward the sex of service members. Furthermore, diminishing workplace sexual harassment and fostering healthy work environments should be prioritized, as these efforts may reduce sexual aggression among sailors.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144915754","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}

Most research has focused on the relationship between minority stress (e.g., discrimination) and mental health among SMAs. However, the extent to which minority stress and other forms of victimization, including sexual victimization, simultaneously influence SMAs’ mental health is understudied. Therefore, the goal of the current study was to examine the relative and interactive effects of minority stress and sexual victimization on changes in mental health over 6 months among SMAs. The analytic sample included 967 SMA ages 14 to 17 (68.15% cisgender girls, 57.91% non-Latinx White) who completed online surveys at 2 time points as part of a longitudinal study. Bivariate correlations indicated positive associations between minority stress and sexual victimization at baseline and each mental health outcome at baseline and 6-month follow-up. When minority stress and sexual victimization at baseline were included as simultaneous predictors of each mental health outcome at 6-month follow-up (controlling for each mental health outcome at baseline), minority stress was significantly associated with increases in posttraumatic stress symptoms, depression symptoms, and suicidal ideation. In contrast, sexual victimization and the interaction between minority stress and sexual victimization were not significant. These findings provide longitudinal support for the role of minority stress in the mental health of SMAs, highlighting the need for interventions that target minority stress to improve mental health. Given that sexual victimization was not significantly associated with mental health after accounting for minority stress, additional research is needed to better understand the relative influences of minority stress and sexual victimization on the mental health of SMAs.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144916056","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}

We conducted in-depth key informant interviews with victim service and criminal justice professionals ( <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 27) working in urban communities, rural communities, and statewide organizations to better understand: (a) what communities need to effectively prohibit DVPO respondents from firearms (i.e., the DVPO gun law) and (b) strategies to help communities view domestic gun violence as a safety issue versus a second amendment issue. We used conventional content analysis to analyze the content of all interviews. Our results revealed a diverse range of community needs for implementing the DVPO gun law; some of which included tangible resources related to personnel, funding, and storage, and other more intangible resources related to community leadership and culture. We also observed competing ideas around strict state leadership directives for how to implement the DVPO gun law versus maintaining community-level autonomy. Finally, many participants stressed the importance of using more effective language to frame the issue of DVPO gun laws as central to addressing domestic violence more broadly, rather than gun control. Regardless of the political landscape and state legislation, communities of all types should be able to make concerted local efforts to limit abusers’ access to firearms, given the danger posed to victims and the broader community. Effective efforts require transdisciplinary collaboration, flexibility, ingenuity, leadership, and funding, thus benefiting from a combined criminal justice and public health approach.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144915403","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}

In addition to the interpersonal trauma survivors experience during a sexual assault, institutions may respond in ways that amplify this trauma, failing students at an especially vulnerable point. Sexual assault has a long-term impact on the way survivors perceive the world and interact with institutions, often resulting in disillusionment. This study sought to understand how experiencing sexual assault, including the timing of that assault, is linked to university students’ perceptions of institutions and their policies, perceived risk of sexual assault, and rape myth acceptance. Students from a Canadian institution ( <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 1,220) completed an online survey that assessed their sexual assault history, from which they were grouped in terms of timing of the assault experience: pre-university, during university, prior to and during university, and no sexual assault history. A one-way multiple analysis of variance revealed that individuals with any sexual assault history reported lower institutional trust, more negative perceptions of their institution’s sexual assault policies, greater perceived risk of sexual assault, and lower endorsement of rape myths than those with no sexual assault history. Differences from those with no assault history were larger among those who had experienced sexual assault during their university experience. Additional exploratory analyses showed that diminished campus belonging among survivors of sexual assault was mediated by lower levels of institutional trust. Implications are centered around the long-term impacts of sexual assault, the role that institutions play in amplifying negative outcomes, and the role that these impacts play in reducing reporting and help-seeking.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"199 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144899867","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}
