Adverse effects of interpersonal violence on mental health have been extensively documented (Clements & Ogle, 2009;Dworkin et al., 2017). The literature points out the particularly negative effect of poly-victimization (Elliott et al., 2009;Sabina & Straus, 2008), indicating that the co-occurrence of physical and psychological victimization has the strongest impact on mental health outcomes, particularly depression and anxiety (Calvete et al., 2008). An analysis of the differential effects of victimization subtypes suggests that psychological victimization better predicts anxiety symptoms in victims of intimate partner violence than does physical victimization (Dutton et al., 1999; also see Lagdon et al., 2014). Sexual assault victimization also predicts greater psychopathology (e.g., depression, anxiety), and shows stronger associations with anxiety (e.g., posttraumatic stress; Dworkin et al., 2017). Women are more likely to be victims of violence than are men (e.g., sexual violence; Kelley et al., 2016;Pimlott-Kubiak & Cortina, 2003), but it is unclear if female victims of interpersonal violence are more vulnerable to psychopathology than male victims (Breslau et al., 1999;Pimlott-Kubiak & Cortina, 2003).The primary focus of research on victimization has been on psychopathology as an outcome of violence, with little attention to its effects on well-being. However, mental health is more than a mere absence of psychopathology (Keyes, 2005), and measures of well-being and psychopathology have been shown to be independent but related factors (e.g., Keyes, 2005;Magalhães & Calheiros, 2017). Examining well-being in victims of interpersonal violence has several benefits. Most notably, higher levels of well-being are associated with positive physical VICTIMIZATION AND MENTAL HEALTH
