“…Social support and social nonsupport were measured with 20 items from Bosch Support Measure (Bosch & Bergen, 2006; Bosch & Schumm, 2007). Subscales of social support (e.g., “Encouraged you to share your story and feelings with others”) and social nonsupport (e.g., “Backed away from you or avoided you when they found out about the abuse”) were defined by 10 items each.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the role of social support for posttraumatic growth (PTG) and identity processes in a sample of 217 women victims of intimate partner violence (IPV), recruited from women shelters, social support centers, and through counseling psychologists. The results of the study highlight the important role of social support in seeking positive personal resolutions after experiencing traumatic events of IPV. It indicates that social support, but not social nonsupport, predicts higher levels of PTG and the development of new positive identities. In particular, social support was positively associated with the manifestation of all five identity processes, that is, with identification with commitment, commitment making, exploration in breadth, exploration in depth, and ruminative exploration. Furthermore, contextual and socioeconomic factors, such as time after last

Items from the Emotional Support Subscale of the Bosch Support Measure were administered in a small survey of 56 formerly abused rural women in the midwestern USA. Maximum likelihood factor analyses were performed on a total of 21 items. A 5-factor solution appeared to produce the best results, but only 3 factors suggested viable subscales with Cronbach alphas greater than .80. Informal support networks in the rural areas studied here appeared to provide survivors of domestic violence with general emotional support to a greater extent than guidance on accessing professional resources and help.

The purposes of this study were to translate the English version of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire into Persian and to examine its psychometric properties. Reliability was examined using Cronbach coefficient alpha and corrected item-total correlation. A confirmatory factor analysis, based on a five-factor model, was performed using AMOS. Consecutive samples of 194 drug addicts, 197 psychiatric patients, and 599 college students were selected for the study. The mean age of participants (N = 1,000) was 24.8 yr. (SD = 7.1), and 49% were female. The test-retest reliability coefficient and the internal consistency reliability coefficient for the whole scale were suitable. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire exhibited acceptable convergent validity with the General Health Questionnaire. A four-factor solution was selected as the most appropriate model using exploratory principal component analysis with oblique rotation. In conclusion, the Persian version of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire showed acceptable psychometric properties.
