“…Victimization is linked to a host of costly mental health outcomes, including symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD, e.g., Kelley, Weathers, Mason, & Pruneau, 2012; and dissociation (e.g., DePrince et al, 2012;Go´mez & Freyd, 2017;Go´mez, Kaehler, & Freyd, 2014). In addition to being at increased risk for victimization (Chronister & Aldarondo, 2012;Hampton & Gullotta, 2006;Porter & McQuiller Williams, 2011;Rennison & Planty, 2003;West, 2012), Black Americans also endure discrimination (e.g., Hardy, 2013), which further impacts mental health (Kessler, Mickelson, & Williams, 1999;Pascoe & Smart Richman, 2009;Pieterse, Todd, Neville, & Carter, 2012). Moreover, discrimination (Bryant-Davis, Chung, Tillman, & Belcourt,, 2009) and other aspects of the sociocultural context, such as cultural values (e.g., Pole & Triffleman, 2010;Tyagi, 2002), affect outcomes of violence (Brown, 2008;Bryant-Davis, 2005;Bryant-Davis et al, 2009;Campbell, Dworkin, & Cabral, 2009;Wyatt, 1992).…”

Violence victimization is prevalent in the US and is linked to costly mental health outcomes, including dissociation and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Black Americans are at increased risk for violence victimization, while additionally enduring racism that impacts mental health. Moreover, discrimination affects outcomes of violence. Cultural betrayal trauma theory (CBTT) is a new framework for examining the impact of within-group violence victimization (termed cultural betrayal trauma) and minority status on outcomes. Furthermore, CBTT examines posttraumatic group dynamics, such as (intra)cultural pressure. As pressure to protect the minority in-group by not disclosing cultural betrayal trauma, (intra)cultural pressure may impact outcomes. The purpose of the exploratory study was to examine the impact of cultural betrayal trauma and (intra)cultural pressure on dissociation and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). Participants ( N = 43) were Black/African American university students who completed online measures assessing violence victimization and outcomes. Linear regression analyses revealed that cultural betrayal trauma predicted PTSS, whereas (intra)cultural pressure predicted dissociation. The current study has implications for examining the impact of group dynamics, such as (intra)cultural pressure, in clinical interventions for Black victims of cultural betrayal trauma. Such cultural competency in mental health care treatment may help reduce mental health disparities.

“…These impacts do not include the devastating effects that PA has on children, extended family, friends, and communities (Gregory et al, 2017). Communities that experience racism, economic oppression, xenophobia, ableism, homophobia, and other forms of social and economic marginalization are at increased risk for experiencing PA and its devastating consequences (e.g., Chronister & Aldarondo, 2012; Chronister et al, 2013). The focus of this study was on the experiences of one such vulnerable community—Filipinos and Filipino Americans.…”

Partner abuse (PA) continues to be one of the most critical human rights and public health issues of our time (UNICEF, Facts and figures: Ending violence against women, 2014). Communities that experience oppression are most at-risk. Social networks, however, are a key target for PA prevention and intervention. One of the most important sources of support for individuals experiencing PA is family and friends (Coker et al., 2003). The vast majority of PA victims, for example, disclose first to family and friends and turn to them most for informal support (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000). Scholars have conducted few studies with family and friends directly to understand what factors influence how they respond to PA. Our study purpose was to expand on Chronister et al.'s (2020) findings by identifying what contextual and cultural factors affected, how family members and friends responded to their Filipino loved ones involved in PA relationships. We used a constructivist-interpretivist research paradigm and phenomenological methods to conduct 29 in-depth interviews with family members and friends. The factors that influenced how participants responded included their understanding of PA and its mental health impact; their emotional and physical safety and the safety of their loved ones; cultural scripts; the availability of culturally appropriate responses and services; and interpersonal relationship contexts. Identification of these factors brought to light prominent Filipino values and psychological concepts; the challenges that intersections among cultural values as well as age, generation status, and acculturation posed for participants; and the desperate need for health care and social service systems that work for Filipinos.

“…An estimated 95% of women who experience PA disclose first to a friend or family member as well as turn to family and friends most for informal support (Klein, 2012; Sylaska & Edwards, 2014; Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000). Far fewer victims and perpetrators seek formal support resources like the police, social services, medical help, and so forth (Bridges, Karlsson, Jackson, Andrews, & Villalobos, 2018; Evans & Feder, 2016; Hashimoto, Radcliffe, & Gilchrist, 2018), especially individuals from ethnic minority and immigrant communities (Chronister & Aldarondo, 2012; Chronister, Knoble, & Bahia, 2013; Chronister et al, 2018; Shoultz, Magnussen, Manzano, Arias, & Spencer, 2010).…”

Community-based research shows that 22% of Filipino Americans report experiencing at least one form of partner abuse (PA) during their lifetime, a higher prevalence rate than those documented among other Asian ethnic groups (Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-Based Violence, 2018). Victims with support resources are less likely to experience negative health outcomes and revictimization, and one of the most important sources of support is family and friends (Coker, Watkins, Smith, & Brandt, 2003). The vast majority of PA victims disclose first to family and friends and turn to them most for informal support (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000). There is little research, however, that has involved asking family and friends directly about how they responded to loved ones involved in abusive intimate partnerships. The purpose of this study was to explore in depth family members’ and friends’ responses to Filipino loved ones involved in PA relationships. We used a constructivist–interpretivist research paradigm and phenomenological methods to conduct 29 in-depth interviews with family members and friends. Findings indicate that participants considered it important to respond in ways that allowed them to maintain their connection with loved ones and support their welfare, and 2 types of response categories emerged: communication responses and actions taken. Findings illuminate the importance of working collaboratively with family and friends to cocreate definitions of PA as well as identify PA responses that consider a collective perspective on individual well-being and address the dynamic relationship, social, and cultural contexts in which family and friends respond.
