“…Women who experience relationship violence are more often young than old, black than white or Hispanic, less educated than well educated, unemployed than employed, on welfare than off, single than married, and with children than without. [2][3][4][5]6,8,35,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] These same general patterns also tend to hold for psychological distress. 43,44 In accordance with prior research, subsequent analyses include controls for age (in years), race (non-Hispanic white, Mexican, and other Hispanic compared with black), education (in years), employment status (1 = worked for pay in past week), current welfare status (1 = currently receiving welfare), marital status (1 = married and living with spouse), cohabiting status (1 = cohabiting, not married), and number of children (1 to 5 or more).…”

“…1 Although relationship violence is an important issue for women in all segments of society, studies consistently show that women of low socioeconomic status exhibit higher rates of violence victimization than their more affluent counterparts. [2][3][4][5][6] In their review of the literature, Tolman and Raphael 5 estimate that between 34 and 65% of women receiving welfare report some form of relationship violence in their lifetime, and between 8 and 33% experience some form of relationship violence each year, 5 levels that surpass those for women overall. 1 Given that rates of relationship violence are disproportionately high among women of low socioeconomic status, attention must be directed to the patterns and health consequences of violence in the lives of these women.…”

Relationship Violence and Psychological Distress Among Low-income Urban Women

In this paper, we examined the association between relationship violence and psychological distress among low-income urban women. Extending prior research, we considered the effects of relationship violence within the context of other chronic stressors that are common in the lives of these women. Using data from the Welfare, Children, and Families project (1999), a probability sample of 2,402 low-income women with children living in low-income neighborhoods in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio, we predicted psychological distress with multiple measures of relationship violence, a wide range of sociodemographic variables, and several chronic stressors. Our results show that relationship violence is associated with higher levels of economic hardship, neighborhood disorder, and household disrepair. We also find that relationship violence is associated with higher levels of psychological distress, net of these other chronic stressors. Finally, we observe that the effects of relationship violence do not vary according to the chronic stressors under study. Because the adverse effects of relationship violence are similar for women despite other adverse circumstances, interventions and treatment efforts focused exclusively on relationship violence may make a unique contribution to the psychological well-being of low-income urban women.

“…Os resultados deste estudo revelaram que, apesar de seleccionadas com base num perfil sócio-económico similar, as mulheres vítimas apresentaram habilitações inferiores às não vítimas: bastante mais mulheres com apenas o 1º ciclo / ensino fundamental (17 vítimas e 2 não vítimas) e bastante menos mulheres tinham um ní-vel de habilitações de secundário/ensino médio (apenas 2 vitimas e 10 não vítimas), o que é congruente com as evidências da investigação (Cunradi, Caetano, & Schafer, 2002;Renner & Whitney, 2010). A mesma tendência foi encontrada ao nível da escolaridade dos filhos das ví-timas.…”

ResumoA violência doméstica contra mulheres afecta negativamente o desenvolvimento de alguns domínios de auto-regulação. Contudo, pouco se conhece sobre o seu impacto na auto-regulação da aprendizagem. Este estudo avaliou a auto-regulação da aprendizagem em 50 filhos de vítimas de violência doméstica contra mulheres. O grupo de filhos de vítimas apresentou níveis inferiores de rendimento académico. O grupo de filhos de vítimas simultaneamente de violência psicológica e física registou níveis inferiores nas dimensões de Avaliação e Execução de auto-regulação da aprendizagem. Estes resultados suportam as evidências de que a exposição à violência doméstica afecta negativamente o desenvolvimento da auto-regulação. Para além disso, sugerem que a exposição a violência familiar afecta negativamente também algumas dimensões da auto-regulação da aprendizagem. Palavras-chave: Violência na família, auto-regulação, aprendizagem, aprendizagem auto-regulada. AbstractDomestic violence against women has a negative impact on several domains of self-regulation. However, very little is known about its impact on self-regulated learning. This study evaluated self-regulation of learning in children and adolescents exposed to domestic violence. Fifty children and adolescents, whose mothers were victims of domestic violence and 50 whose mothers were not, participated in the study. The group of children and adolescents whose mothers were victims of intimate partner violence registered lower academic performance and the group exposed simultaneously to psychological and physical violence registered lower scores on the self-regulation dimensions of evaluation and execution. The results support the evidence that exposure to domestic violence has a negative impact on self-regulation. Also, they suggest that exposure to domestic violence has a negative impact in some dimensions of self-regulated learning.

“…Though several major studies indicate that more physical violence exists in lower-income families (Greenfeld et al 1998;Rennison 1999;Cunradi et al 2002), the presence of emotional abuse in these relationships is somewhat less clear. We hypothesize, however, that emotional abuse will exhibit a similar relationship.…”
