ABSTRACT Although shame is a common emotional response to trauma exposure, it may be precipitated by distinct trauma types. To our knowledge, our study is the first to investigate the relationship between shame and PTSD symptom severity and whether exposure to at least one interpersonal trauma influences the relationship between shame and PTSD symptoms. One-hundred and fifty-seven participants from Australia, Canada, United States, United Kingdom, and New Zealand completed a series of self-report measures. Although shame was significantly associated with PTSD symptom severity, it was not an independent predictor of PTSD when considering anxiety, depression, trauma history and guilt. Participants exposed to at least one interpersonal traumatic event endorsed higher levels of shame and PTSD compared to those who did not. Interpersonal trauma exposure also moderated the relationship between shame and PTSD. Clinical implications and directions for future research are also discussed.

ABSTRACT This study explores faculty members’ rape-supportive beliefs and bystander attitudes and behaviors. An online survey was administered to a non-probability, convenience sample of 167 faculty from a university in the US. The results indicate that faculty gender influences bystander behaviors and their age influences rape myth acceptance. Study results found younger faculty and faculty from specific colleges were more likely to engage in bystander intervention programming. Younger bystander intervention program participants were also less likely to endorse rape myths. The findings offer insight regarding specific content to include in faculty-focused bystander intervention programming and suggestions for messaging to ensure that bystander intervention initiatives are impactful to faculty.

ABSTRACT The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recently implemented the Strength at Home (SAH) program to prevent and end use of IPV in Veterans. SAH is an evidence-based, trauma-informed, cognitive-behavioral intervention for Veterans who use, or are at risk for using, IPV. A previous pilot evaluation of implementation outcomes at 10 VA hospitals indicated slow hospital and clinician adoption rates. The implementation strategy was then revised to address several barriers to timely implementation including securing institutional support, pre-training preparation, and relationship building. The present study used program evaluation metrics from 27 VA hospitals to examine whether the change in implementation strategy improved adoption of the SAH intervention. Results indicated significantly improved hospital and clinician adoption rates and hospital-time-to adoption, but not clinician time-to-adoption.

ABSTRACT Although community violence exposure is associated with trauma symptoms, the research on the demographic factors that might amplify this risk in university students is still emerging. Additional data focused on identifying populations most at-risk for trauma secondary to community violence can support the development of outreach and intervention efforts more precisely. This study examines the relationship between community violence victimization and trauma symptoms and determines whether gender, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation moderates the relationship. The sample consisted of 499 undergraduate students who completed a demographic questionnaire, the Trauma Symptom Checklist-40, and the Survey of Exposure to Community Violence. At the bivariate level, gender, sexual orientation, and race were not associated with community violence victimization. Identifying as a woman and community violence victimization were positively related to trauma symptoms, while identifying as LGBTQA was negatively associated with trauma symptoms. Race was not associated with trauma symptoms. Moderation analyses indicated that identifying as a woman and identifying as LGBTQA strengthened the relationship between community violence victimization and trauma symptoms, while racial identity was not a significant moderator. We discuss implications, including the factors that may increase trauma symptom development for females and LGTBTQA survivors of community violence.

ABSTRACT When not overlooked altogether, women who kill are labeled as ‘crazy’ or ‘evil.’ The complexity of the woman’s background and motivations leads to a misunderstanding of how and why a woman could kill another, especially an intimate partner. While it is rare for a woman to kill, and rarer for her to kill her partner, intimate partner violence often predates lethal acts. Frequently, women who use lethal force are survivors of child abuse or domestic violence and their adverse experiences play major contributing roles in their crimes. This special issue on women who kill seeks to fill the gaps in research in elaborating on who these women are, their motivations, other details about their violence, and how they can be aided throughout psychological evaluation and proper expert testimony. Articles within this issue discuss common themes found among women who kill as well as how psychologists may assist in litigation (e.g., consultation, evaluation, and expert witness testimony). Furthermore, this issue discusses women who did not kill, but were punished as if they had. This special issue is published in anticipation of offering further assistance to the criminal justice system and policymakers. We seek to highlight the points in which the legal system has failed these women and demonstrate how clinicians can provide a better understanding of how various psychological and demographic factors contribute to situations where battered women may feel the only option to ensure survival is lethal self-defense.

ABSTRACT The present study investigated the longitudinal effects of multiple environmental risk factors in three social domains (i.e., family, school, and Internet) on traditional bullying and cyberbullying and the moderating roles of self-esteem and trait aggressiveness in these relations. The present research was conducted by a four-wave panel design with 6-month intervals. A total of 358 students (40.5% girls) aged 12 to 14 (M = 12.89) participated in this study and completed the measures on research variables. Results indicated that participants who experienced more risk factors reported higher bullying perpetration scores at later times. Participants exposed to more risk domains reported more cyberbullying activities at T4 than those exposed to none or fewer risk domains. Besides, trait aggressiveness moderated the predictive effects of cumulative environmental risk/cumulative risk domain in bullying perpetration. However, these effects were not moderated by self-esteem. The effects were much stronger for adolescents with higher levels of trait aggressiveness than those with lower levels of trait aggressiveness. These findings can enrich the previous literature and provide some basis for developing interventions on bullying behavior.

ABSTRACT Opium derived drugs (i.e., opioids) are effective in relieving short-term pain but are inherently addictive, causing them to have a high liability for misuse. A number of different risk factors can contribute to opioid misuse, a notable example of which is trauma. One type of trauma that may be particularly relevant is intimate partner violence (IPV), which is a common traumatic stressor among women. Research suggests that IPV and opioid misuse are associated, perhaps because women use opioids to relieve pain associated with IPV-related injuries as well as to cope with psychological distress following IPV. However, there is little research on which types of IPV are most predictive of opioid misuse. In this study, we examined the relative influence of IPV subtypes on opioid misuse in a sample of women (N = 168) using a partial least squares approach to multiple regression. Results suggest on average large correlations between physical, sexual, and psychological IPV as well as IPV-related injury with opioid misuse. Results further suggest that IPV-related injury and psychological IPV predicted opioid misuse over and above other forms of IPV (e.g., physical, sexual) and other traumatic stressors. These findings highlight the pain-relieving function of opioids for both physical injuries and psychological pain, which has implications for screening women for past or current IPV, especially those under consideration for treatment with opioids.

ABSTRACT Despite widespread anecdotal accounts of coaches’ emotional abuse in intercollegiate sports, empirical literature is lacking. To address this gap, the present exploratory study was designed to explore how former intercollegiate student-athletes interpreted experiences of emotionally abusive coaching. Former female NCAA and NJCAA student-athletes (N = 14; M age = 25.3 years) took part in semi-structured, in-depth interviews. Data were interpreted using a constructivist grounded theory approach. The final product of the research was a three-stage grounded theory explaining how former student-athletes interpret their experiences of emotional abuse over time organized into sections on antecedents to abuse, experiences and actions within the abusive program, and after the abuse. Implications for this work include the idea that individual student-athletes may have different experiences and recollections of coaches’ emotionally abusive behavior and that intercollegiate student-athletes are able to discern between “hard, but fair” coaching practices and emotionally abusive coaching practices.
