Guided by a culturally informed prosocial perspective, the study examined the associations between cultural orientation (acculturation and enculturation), familism values, traditional gender role attitudes, and Latinx adolescent parents’ reports of healthy relationship attitudes, healthy conflict management, and intimate partner violence (IPV). Path analyses revealed that higher acculturation and familism values were positively associated with healthier relationship attitudes and engagement in healthy conflict management behaviors. In contrast, less traditional gender role attitudes were linked to healthier relationship attitudes. Notably, the links between acculturation, familism, and relationship attitudes were stronger for U.S.-born youth than immigrant youth. In addition, familism was negatively associated with IPV engagement only among immigrant adolescents. These findings highlight the importance of considering cultural factors, particularly traditional gender role attitudes and familism, in understanding and promoting healthy romantic relationship development among Latinx adolescent parents. The study emphasizes the need for tailored, culturally responsive prevention efforts to address the Latinx community’s diversity. By supporting Latinx adolescent parents in cultivating fulfilling romantic relationships, these efforts can help break cycles of IPV and promote healthy family dynamics.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"74 1","pages":"8862605251365651"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145072487","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. Limitations and implications for future research and policy are also discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"8862605251365658"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145054091","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 purpose of the current study is to examine the association between low self-control and sexual coercion in college men and women, with the inclusion of two factors shown to be important in predicting sexually coercive behaviors: rape myth acceptance and hypersexuality. 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. The results of this study affirm previous findings regarding the importance of addressing rape myths to prevent sexually coercive behaviors and highlight the need to also address hypersexuality, to develop more effective prevention programming.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"8862605251365653"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145054109","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}

Despite the serious health consequences of IPV for survivors, there is a lack of research on it and its associated factors among women in Lesotho. 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]). The prevalence of IPV among reproductive-age women in Lesotho is high. Individual and partner-related factors contribute significantly to its occurrence. Strengthening legal protections addressing issues such as women's justification of wife beating, expanding access to mental health services, and implementing community-based education programs on substance use are recommended to reduce IPV in Lesotho.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"8862605251368842"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145054179","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":"8862605251365661"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","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}

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":"8862605251368835"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","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}

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.

Incidents of IPV may bring parents into contact with the criminal legal system, but parents' criminal legal system contact (whether for IPV or other charges) may also precipitate IPV. This study examines the bidirectional relationship between inter-parental IPV and fathers' contact with the criminal legal system, using data collected from young parents in the Future of Families and Child Well-being Study (N = 4,898) when their children were ages 1, 3, 5, and 9. Autoregressive cross-lagged model results indicate that paternal incarceration (for any charge) predicts later maternal IPV victimization and that maternal IPV victimization predicts later paternal incarceration. Observed effects diminish over the child's early years and are statistically insignificant by age 9. Beta values indicate that incarceration is a stronger predictor of later IPV than IPV is of later jailing or imprisonment. Extending prior empirical work on IPV and the legal system-traditionally focused more on outcomes of domestic violence calls for service, protective orders, and domestic violence criminal adjudication than on IPV-impacted families' broader encounters with the legal system-this study suggests that in a time of mass incarceration, fathers' broader criminal legal system contact may exacerbate early childhood IPV exposure.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"35 1","pages":"8862605251360030"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145032185","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}
