“…The annual frequency is computed by adding up the assumed midpoints in the response categories (0 00, 1 01, 2 02, 304, 4 08, 5 015, and 6025) and by recoding value 7 to be 0 (Straus et al, 1996). The Spanish version of the CTS2 has shown excellent internal consistency for scales and confirmation of the factor structure (Calvete, Corral, & Estévez, 2007). In this study alpha coefficient was 0.93.…”

This study examined the association between intimate partner violence, maladaptive cognitive schemas, coping, and depression in a sample of 298 battered women. The results indicated that maladaptive cognitive schemas were associated with less use of primary and secondary engagement coping, and higher use of disengagement coping. In particular, cognitive schemas reflecting disconnection and rejection accounted for the association between psychological abuse and percentage of disengagement coping. In addition, disengagement coping partially mediated between cognitive schemas and depressive symptoms. Finally, the role of cognitive schemas as personal constraints that affect the choice of coping and the implications for interventions with victims are discussed.

“…The CTS2 is one of the most widely used instruments to assess aggression and conflict within intimate relationships [47,51-54]. The instrument consists of 78 items assessing both perpetration of violence and also victimization; the present study uses only the 39 items relating specifically to women’s victimization experiences [53].…”

“…Items are summed and converted into five conflict resolution subscales: psychological aggression, sexual coercion, negation, physical assaults, and injury experiences [23]. These scales examine actions taken to settle a disagreement (negotiation); acts of verbal and non-verbal aggression (psychological aggression); physical violence (physical assault); unwanted sexual activity (sexual coercion), and; physical pain or injury requiring medical attention (injury) [51]. …”

BackgroundDespite advancements in our understanding of the importance of stress reduction in achieving good health, we still only have limited insight into the impact of stress on cellular function. Recent studies have suggested that exposure to prolonged psychological stress may alter an individual’s physiological responses, and contribute to morbidity and mortality. This paper presents an overview of the study protocol we are using to examine the impact of life stressors on lifestyle factors, health-related quality of life and novel and established biomarkers of stress in midlife and older Australian women.The primary aim of this study is to explore the links between chronic psychological stress on both subjective and objective health markers in midlife and older Australian women. The study examines the extent to which exposure frightening, upsetting or stressful events such as natural disasters, illness or death of a relative, miscarriage and relationship conflict is correlated with a variety of objective and subjective health markers.Methods/DesignThis study is embedded within the longitudinal Healthy Aging of Women’s study which has collected data from midlife and older Australian women at 5 yearly intervals since 2001, and uses the Allostastic model of women’s health by Groër and colleagues in 2010. The current study expands the focus of the HOW study and will assess the impact of life stressors on quality of life and clinical biomarkers in midlife and older Australian women to explain the impact of chronic psychological stress in women.DiscussionThe proposed study hypothesizes that women are at increased risk of exposure to multiple or repeated stressors, some being unique to women, and the frequency and chronicity of stressors increases women’s risk of adverse health outcomes. This study aims to further our understanding of the relationships between stressful life experiences, perceived quality of life, stress biomarkers, chronic illness, and health status in women.

“…Some studies on its prevalence in dating relationships seem to confirm that violence arises at the beginning of relationships, although the most frequent form of aggression in this period is milder and is not of a physical nature [5]. Nevertheless, psychological abuse has been studies to a lesser extent compared to physical abuse [6], although it also has serious consequences on the well-being of its victims [7] [8].…”

“…Nevertheless, it does not include other important forms of partner abuse, such as cutting the partner off his/her family or friends, controlling access to money, etc. [7]. From a feminist point of view, intimate partner violence has been conceptualised as a mechanism of control and subjugation used by men against their partners.…”

The use of psychological aggressive tactics in intimate relationships has become a critical target of research in the social sciences in recent years. The goal of the present study is to analyse the prevalence of covert violence in intimate partner relationships, in general and differentiated by gender, using micro sexist aggressions. The objective of this research was to compare differences within each status category (victim, perpetrator, and mutual). A second aim of the study was to explore the influence of the dominance in the cover violence. A total of 1889 youths, from 28 universities participated in the survey, 81.8% of which were female. The results indicate a high prevalence of covert violence in interpersonal relationships, revealing not important differences between the sexes. The mutual violence was the most frequent pattern in the global cover violence (66.7%). The lineal regression analyses reveal that dominance predicts multi-violence in young partners. These data provide an objective view of mutual violence in Spanish community samples and serve as a reference point for prevention and intervention programs.
