In science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, SH poses a major obstacle to the retention and advancement of women. The role of the perpetrator can impact the consequences of SH (e.g., academic disengagement) and how students respond to the harassment. The current study examined the prevalence of SH perpetrated against undergraduate students majoring in STEM disciplines and whether responses to harassment and student outcomes (i.e., perceptions of academic support, sense of belonging, and college persistence) varied based on the status of the perpetrator (i.e., peer or faculty/staff). Approximately 60% of students in STEM reported SH from peers, compared to 46% from faculty/staff. Survivors of faculty/staff-perpetrated SH were more likely to use internally (e.g., ignoring the SH) rather than externally focused strategies (e.g., reporting the SH, confronting harasser) to respond to the harassment. Although survivors of peer- and faculty/staff-perpetrated SH reported lower perceptions of academic support compared to participants who did not report any SH, survivors of peer-perpetrated SH reported significantly lower sense of belonging and survivors of faculty/staff-perpetrated SH reported significantly lower college persistence. Implications for prevention and response efforts are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48139,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Victims","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a complex and multifactor phenomenon related to personal and family variables. In view of the lack of research on this topic in Ecuador, the present study was focused on analyzing the presence of CPV in Ecuadorian families and explored the relationship of these behaviors with different parental skills. A total of 270 parents (91.5% mothers) of at-risk zones of the Ecuadorian Coast participated in the study. The participants completed the Child-to-Parent Aggression Questionnaire, the Parental Alliance Inventory, the Parenting Scale and the Parental Locus of Control. The results showed a strong presence of CPV behaviors. A total of 47.41% of the families presented severe levels of CPV and high comorbidity among the different types of CPV. The regression analyses revealed the predictive power of permissive and hostile practices for psychological CPV and of hostile practices for physical CPV. The locus of control was also observed to influence the appearance of CPV, whereas parental alliance did not present a significant linear relationship. In view of the severity of the identified CPV problem, it is necessary for Ecuador to develop a legislative framework that promotes a network of preventive and specialized services to address this phenomenon. The prevention of the escalating growth of CPV behaviors must be focused on the promotion of parenting skills that facilitate the positive exercise of parenting in situations of family conflict.","PeriodicalId":48139,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Victims","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143504519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One test for detecting IPV is the Woman Abuse Screening Tool (WAST). The objective of the study was to obtain evidence of the validity of the WAST in terms of its internal structure, measurement invariance, convergent validity, clinical validity, and reliability. A total of 670 women who have or have had a heterosexual relationship participated in the study. The first stage included 513 adult women who partook of health services (M age = 35.5 years, SD age = 10 years). The second stage included 160 women, 80 diagnosed with IPV (M age = 34.2 years, SD age = 11.8 years) and 80 who were not (M age = 31.8 years, SD age = 11.5 years). We used multivariate and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses. We found evidence that the WAST demonstrates a one-dimensional structure; evidence of measurement invariance regarding cohabitation with the partner, length of the relationship, and age; evidence of convergent validity in terms of correlations with emotional dependence, self-compassion, expressive suppression, anxiety, and depression; and evidence of clinical validity in terms of the high probability of detecting positive cases of IPV. These properties support the use of the WAST for detecting possible cases of IPV, which will allow timely intervention. This instrument can also be used in larger studies on IPV in the Spanish-speaking population.","PeriodicalId":48139,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Victims","volume":" ","pages":"3-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142156391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
