“…La experimentación de múltiples sucesos violentos en un mismo sujeto ha sido denominada como polivictimización (PV) 12 . La PV ha tenido un gran auge en el estudio de la victimización en la última década, aportando a la comprensión del efecto del trauma acumulativo de la violencia en la salud y en el desarrollo psicosocial en adolescentes [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] y universitarios [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] . Diferentes eventos violentos tienden a coocurrir o superponerse, de manera que es poco frecuente la ocurrencia de un hecho victimizante aislado 21 .…”

“…La PV en universitarios se ha estudiado en contextos internacionales, lo que ha permitido corroborar su asociación con diversas variables de la salud mental [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] y algunos indicadores de bienestar social (BS) [36][37][38] . Este último, se centra en la relación que las personas establecen con su medio social, el cual es de gran importancia para el desarrollo personal, la satisfacción de las necesidades de los individuos y, por ende, la estabilidad psicológica de las personas 39 .…”

Multiple violent events in the same individual is a frequent phenomenon and negatively affects the way in which people perceive their functioning in society. The present study aims to evaluate the relationship between Polyvictimization (PV) and Social Welfare (BS). An analytical observational study was designed. First semester students from a public university in the city of Santa Marta, Colombia, participated, who filled out the Trauma Symptoms Verification List (LVST) and the Keyes Social Well-being Scales. 590 students participated, aged between 18 to 57 years (M = 19.83 years; SD = 3.48), 55.3% male and 95.6% residing in socioeconomic stratum 1, 2 and 3. The multivariate analysis was estimated using opportunity ratios (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). The PV was related to the dimensions of BS integration (OR = 1,832 95% CI 1,221-2,747), acceptance (OR = 1,663 95% CI 1,125-2,460) and social contribution OR = 1,715 95% CI 1,055-2,789). It is concluded that multiple violence is linked to the components of integration, acceptance and social contribution. Studies are needed to identify the impact of PV on other indicators of social welfare and on social capital in university students.

Research on subgroups of female college students who share similar experiences of childhood maltreatment (CM) and intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization is sparse. The primary aims of the current study are: (a) to identify subgroups of victims related to experience of psychological, physical, and sexual CM and IPV and (b) to test the association between subgroups and depressive and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity. Survey data was collected from 327 female students at a public university in the Northeast. Three distinct subgroups, that is, victimization classes, were found using Latent Class Analysis: A lifetime victimization class, comprised of females reporting high rates of CM and IPV across types (19.0% of the sample), a childhood victimization class (26.9%); and a low victimization class (54.1%). Depressive symptom severity was positively associated with lifetime and childhood, relative to low, victimization class membership. PTSD symptom severity was associated with the childhood victimization class relative to both lifetime and low victimization class. Subgroups of institutions of higher education (IHE) females who share CM and IPV victimization experiences are discernable. The co-occurrence of IPV and CM in female college students is not uncommon. PTSD symptom severity may be more related to CM than IPV in IHE female students.

There is a dearth of research on the relation of men’s cumulative experiences of nonintimate victimization (polyvictimization) to their victimization in intimate relationships. This study examines the association between nonintimate polyvictimization (including being abused as a child, cyberbullied, stalked, physically assaulted, and experiencing property crime) and the severity of intimate partner violence victimization in men. The sample of 8,784 men in current married/common-law relationships was drawn from a random sample of the 2014 Canadian General Social Survey. About 3% of the men (an estimate of about 265,000 men in Canada) experienced the most severe forms of partner abuse, including the combination of emotional abuse and controlling behaviors, physical violence, and the resulted injuries. Among these severely abused men, about one-third were polyvictims. As expected, a nonintimate polyvictimization predicted the increased severity of male partner abuse victimization, controlling for sociodemographic variables. These findings highlight the importance of preventing nonintimate polyvictimization of men that can help reduce their partner violence victimization.
