Much of the existing literature focuses on its negative consequences, with limited study on its effects on positive social functions, particularly prosocial behavior. This study aims to uncover the link between childhood trauma and prosocial behavior among Chinese adolescents, focusing on how meaning in life and resilience mediate this relationship and how sex and social dominance goals moderate these effects. This study utilized random cluster sampling to survey 659 adolescents (mean age = 15.05, <i>SD</i> = 1.576, 53.6% female) in Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province, China. Data on childhood trauma, meaning in life, resilience, and prosocial behavior were collected through self-reported measures. The data were analyzed through Process Macro Model 4 for mediation effects and Model 8 for moderated mediation in SPSS 26.0. Findings indicated that meaning in life (β = -.042, <i>P</i> < .001, SE = 0.015) and resilience (β = -.071, <i>P</i> < .001, SE = 0.018) partially mediate the impact of the main effect. Social dominance goals reduced the negative effects of trauma on prosocial behavior; higher levels lead to reduced impacts (β = -.173, <i>P</i> < .001, SE = 0.039, <i>t</i> = -4.448). Sex differences also moderated the effect of trauma on meaning in life, with females experiencing a greater decrease in the meaning of life after adversity (β = -.825, <i>P</i> < .001, SE = 0.112, <i>t</i> = -7.372).

It is well documented that dating violence can persist over time, occurring within the same relationship or across multiple relationships. Self-esteem could be a key factor in understanding the mechanisms of violence continuity, potentially acting as a protective factor during adolescence. Exploring its role in the continuity of dating violence and the potential differences based on whether the violence occurs within the same relationship or across different relationships could inform interventions aimed at preventing repetitive violence and revictimization by multiple partners. This study aimed to (1) examine the association between dating violence measured at two distinct time points, (2) investigate the moderating role of self-esteem in this association, and (3) explore potential variations in the protective role of self-esteem based on whether the violence reoccurred within the same relationship or across different relationships. Sex differences were also examined. A subsample of 1,018 adolescents who reported being involved in a dating relationship at two time points completed self-reported questionnaires. A moderation analysis revealed that dating violence at Time 1 predicted dating violence at Time 2 (6 months later) for both boys and girls. Among girls, self-esteem acted as a protective factor when considering the effect of partner change. Hence, girls who experienced dating violence victimization at Time 1 but had higher self-esteem were more inclined to engage in a subsequent relationship devoid of dating violence at Time 2. However, self-esteem did not emerge as a significant protective factor among boys. Self-esteem appears to be a pivotal factor in promoting engagement in subsequent positive relationships following experiences of dating violence among girls. These findings offer valuable insight that can inform preventive measures and interventions, ultimately contributing to healthier relationship dynamics and improving the well-being of dating violence victims during adolescence.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"4399-4422"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12408926/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142467667","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}

When school bullying occurs, there may be a large number of bystanders in addition to the bullies and victims. What actions bystanders take affects the progress of school bullying. Relevant studies indicate that social norms including how peers around them react (descriptive norms) and how important adults such as teachers and parents demand (injunctive norms) play important roles in bystanders' action-taking, but limited studies have considered individual differences. Therefore, this study used a person-centered approach to explore the co-existence patterns of social norms and bystanders' defending intention to further understand their relations. We surveyed 1,384 junior high school students in China by self-report questionnaires, and they were asked to assess their defending intention when witnessing school bullying events under different contexts of social norms. Through latent profiles analysis, five co-existing patterns were identified: no norms-no defending group (4.8%), parent norms-no defending group (3.6%), weak norms-low defending group (24.3%), teacher-peer norms-medium defending group (40.6%), teacher-peer norms-high defending group (26.7%). In four out of the five patterns, students' levels of defending intention were highly consistent with the levels of peer and teacher norms, but largely contradicted parent norms. This suggests that descriptive norms from peers and injunctive norms from teachers, other than those from parents are crucial for promoting bystanders' defending intention, which provides important enlightenment for school bullying prevention. These findings provide important enlightenment for the prevention and control of school bullying in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"4798-4816"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142644357","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}

Data from four nationally representative Mexican surveys (2000, 2006, 2012, and 2018) were analyzed using logistic regression models to assess trends in the health consequences of violence stratified by age, education, place of residence, employment, pregnancy status, and location of violence. We employed a probit regression model to assess sociodemographic determinants that contribute to a higher likelihood of experiencing community violence compared to violence at home. In the 2018 survey, the health consequences of violence were observed in 1.9% of adult women and 2.2% of adolescents. We identified a significant annual increase in the health consequences of violence, especially in 2012 and among adolescents. Similarly, there was an increase in the health consequences among adults due to community violence (8.1% annual increase), and the rise was higher among adolescents (9.4% annual increase). Urban residence, higher education, and economic activity significantly increased the likelihood of community violence exposure in adult women, while higher education was a significant factor among adolescents.

For mental health, Hispanic students reported more PTSD symptoms compared to White students while Asian students reported more depressive symptoms compared to their White counterparts. It is noteworthy that early experiences of child physical abuse and lower warmth and support continued to significantly impact both PTSD symptoms and depressive symptoms.

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.

The results of this study mirror what has been found in previous research. Namely, low self-control had an indirect effect on sexually coercive behavior through rape myth acceptance and hypersexuality, and that direct effects for low self-control are fully mediated once these other variables are added to the model. This indicates that while low self-control does play a role in sexually coercive behaviors, it is not the only factor that must be considered. This is especially true for hypersexuality, which has been a treatment target for practitioners working with individuals who have sexually offended.

This study used data from the 2023 to 2024 Lesotho Demographic and Health Survey, a nationally representative cross-sectional survey, to determine the prevalence of IPV among reproductive-age women in Lesotho and its associated factors. A total of 1,687 women aged 15 to 49 who had ever been married were included in the study. To ensure representativeness, weighted estimates were applied in the analysis using STATA version 17. A cross-sectional study design was used, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multilevel logistic regression to examine individual and community-level factors associated with IPV. Statistically significant variables were identified using adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The overall prevalence of IPV was found to be 41.68% (95% CI [39.35, 44.05]). Factors associated with IPV included depressive symptoms (AOR = 1.55 [1.04, 2.30]), current tobacco smoking (AOR = 1.71 [1.10, 2.64]), having an alcoholic partner (AOR = 2.07 [1.58, 2.71]), having a jealous partner (AOR = 4.1 [3.13, 5.36]), and women justifying wife-beating (AOR = 1.57 [1.11, 2.21]).
