Abstract Details

2014, Master of Arts, Miami University, Psychology.
One specific area of revictimization research concerning intimate partner violence (IPV) has garnered increasing attention. Although researchers have recently begun to investigate mechanisms between child maltreatment and IPV victimization, interpersonal effects of child maltreatment, specifically on the development of self, have received little attention. Briere (1993) posited that interruption of normal childhood development, caused by trauma, draws attention away from the internal process of developing the self, which in turn leads to impaired self-functions in adulthood increasing risk for revictimization. The current study examined whether impairments in self accounted for the link between child maltreatment and IPV victimization among 546 college women. Impaired self-reference consistently mediated the relationship between all five forms of child maltreatment (sexual, physical, and emotional abuse; physical and emotional neglect) and minor and severe forms of IPV victimization (psychological aggression, physical assault, and sexual coercion). Future directions for research and implications for intervention are discussed.
