Cyber-Intimate Partner Violence and Mental Health Outcomes in a Sample of High School Girls
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interpersonal violence is a prevalent public health issue. Cyberbullying and intimate partner violence (IPV) are two types of interpersonal violence that have major health consequences. This study examines the relationship between adolescent girls’ involvement in cyber-IPV and two types of self-efficacy: general self-efficacy and coping self-efficacy. Secondarily, this study explores the association between cyber-IPV and depression, anxiety, and childhood trauma. Participants were 51 high school girls. No significant relationships were found between perpetration and either type of self-efficacy. Trends towards significance were found for the relationship between victimization and coping self-efficacy. There was a significant relationship between both victimization and perpetration and childhood trauma, such that childhood trauma predicted victimization and trended towards predicting perpetration. There was also a relationship between victimization and anxiety. Results of this study can be used to develop ageand gender-appropriate interventions for adolescent girls.
