Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally.

Survey Safety

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Public Health
  • Gender Studies

Background:

  • Transgender individuals experience intimate partner violence (IPV) at disproportionately high rates.
  • Transphobia creates significant barriers for transgender survivors seeking help.
  • Limited research exists on sociodemographic factors influencing help-seeking among transgender IPV survivors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate sociodemographic factors affecting help-seeking behaviors among transgender survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV).
  • To identify predictors of seeking help from survivor agencies and predictors of not seeking help due to fear of transphobic responses.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary data analysis of the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey, a nationally-representative dataset.
  • Logistic regression models were used to analyze data from 15,198 transgender IPV survivors.
  • Examined associations between sociodemographic characteristics and help-seeking behaviors.

Main Results:

  • Trans men, genderqueer individuals, Alaska Native/American Indian survivors, poorer individuals, transphobia victims, and survivors of controlling IPV were more likely to seek help.
  • Trans women, asexual/bisexual survivors, poorer, younger, undocumented, childless, and homeless survivors were more likely to fear transphobic responses and not seek help.
  • Sexual IPV victimization was particularly associated with fear of transphobic responses.

Conclusions:

  • Sociodemographic factors significantly shape the help-seeking experiences of transgender IPV survivors.
  • Fear of transphobic responses is a critical barrier, particularly for specific subgroups of transgender survivors.
  • Findings underscore the need for tailored, trans-competent services and further research to address these disparities.
