Emerging research suggests unique barriers to disclosure and help-seeking in the aftermath of sexual assault, but relatively little work has examined LGBTQIA+ identity-related concerns discussed in a help-seeking context. This study examined anonymous, archival data, from a sample of 292 visitors to the National Sexual Assault Online Hotline. Analyses were limited to visitors who identified as the victim of a sexual violence event, disclosed they identified as LGTBQIA+, and discussed concerns related to their gender identity and/or sexual orientation. Open-ended responses from hotline staff revealed four overarching themes: (1) Identity-related blame and discrimination, (2) barriers to disclosure and/or help-seeking, (3) discussion of identity and/or behavior, and (4) When perpetrators are LGBTQIA+. Practitioners should be aware of the unique barriers LGBTQIA+ survivors face in disclosure and help-seeking and how their experiences may differ from heterosexual, cisgender survivors.

Cluster sampling was used to select 490 university students for participation in the study. The mean age of the participants was 21.89 years (<i>SD</i> = 3.52) and 70% were female. A battery of questionnaires was administered comprising the SDS scale, the sexuality on the internet and social networks questionnaire (CSRI-1), interpersonal reactivity index, and the intimate partner violence (IPV) questionnaire. The questionnaires were administered in a group-classroom setting. The results show that empathy acts as a protective and mediating variable because it reduces the impact of online sexual material on violent behavior. In addition, it was seen that the consumption of online sexual material has a direct impact on IPV and SDS. These findings point to the importance of taking empathy and the consumption of online sexual material into account in the development of prevention and intervention programs for tackling violence in young couples.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"4733-4753"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142681991","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}

Additionally, we investigate the characteristics that lead to good citizenship behavior when adolescents witness cyberviolence. We analyzed annual national survey data from 2018 to 2022 among adolescents in South Korea, including data collected from students ranging from grades 4 to 12. There were patterns that existed across five survey years; adolescents who were more exposed to violent media content, who were younger, and who experienced being perpetrators were more likely to be in an environment where they witnessed cyberviolence. The results also showed that less exposure to violent media content and knowing viable responses when witnessing cyberviolence increased the likelihood of adolescents adopting good citizenship behaviors. Educating adolescents about viable actions they can take when witnessing cyberviolence can lead to good citizenship.

In all, 201 participants reported any type of IPV in the past 6 months (including 109 who reported both victimization and perpetration); these men were then categorized as experiencing balanced bidirectional (<i>n</i> = 53), predominantly victimization (<i>n</i> = 113), and predominantly perpetration (<i>n</i> = 35) IPV. In each of these groups, close to one-third (25.7%-34.5%) had disclosed their IPV experience and one-fifth (13.2%-20.0%) had sought help; however, within the perpetration group, none of the 16 participants who only reported perpetration (the other 19 reported some victimization) disclosed their IPV. Group sizes allowed us to examine correlates of IPV disclosure and help seeking among the bidirectional and victimization groups, from among demographic, psychosocial, relational, and IPV characteristics, using bivariate statistics and multiple logistic regression. Greater IPV victimization was positively correlated with disclosure in both groups, and it was the lone independent correlate in multiple regression analysis (in the victimization group). Greater IPV victimization was also a strong positive and independent correlate of help seeking in multiple regression analysis within the victimization group, as was greater partner assertiveness in conflict resolution.

A sense of belonging within the campus community can protect victims of sexual assault from negative psychological outcomes; however, no study to date has examined whether this aspect of a positive campus climate protects GSM victims, in particular, from developing more severe PTSD symptoms after sexual assault. We hypothesized that GSM victims would experience more severe PTSD symptoms than non-GSM victims after experiencing sexual assault and that their perceptions of campus climate would moderate this relationship. All undergraduate students from a public liberal arts college on the East Coast were asked to participate in an online survey about their history of sexual assault and emotional well-being. Of those who completed the survey, approximately 18% reported a history of sexual assault (<i>N</i> = 146). GSM victims of sexual assault reported more severe PTSD symptoms than non-GSM victims; however, a significant interaction showed that PTSD symptoms were similar for GSM and non-GSM victims with high ratings of campus climate. Thus, positive perceptions of campus climate protected GSM students from experiencing more severe PTSD symptoms.

Using data from 926 Israeli women, the research examines 20 distinct abusive behaviors, testing 3 hypotheses: that mildly severe abusive behaviors (e.g., verbal aggression, emotional manipulation) are more common than severe ones (e.g., physical violence, threats); that physical violence co-occurs with both mildly severe and severe abuse; and that mildly severe abusive behaviors persist in nonviolent relationships, albeit at lower rates. Findings reveal that mildly severe abusive behaviors are more prevalent, with 99.8% of women reporting at least one form of abuse. Physical violence is significantly associated with both mildly severe and severe abuse, with currently battered women experiencing the highest number of abusive behaviors (<i>M</i> = 13.03), followed by previously battered women (<i>M</i> = 7.66) and never battered women (<i>M</i> = 2.92). The cessation of physical violence is associated with a decline in severe abusive behaviors, while mildly severe forms persist even in nonviolent relationships. The study highlights the importance of recognizing the full range of abusive behaviors women face, beyond physical violence, to better understand and address intimate partner violence. By emphasizing the co-occurrence and escalation of abuse, the research advocates for a comprehensive approach to intervention and prevention.
