Area of Science:
- Social Psychology
- Public Health
- Mental Health Research
Background:
- Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global issue with significant, yet understudied, negative impacts on victims in South Korea.
- IPV victimization is linked to adverse mental health outcomes, including suicidal ideation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the mediating roles of interpersonal dependency and anger in the relationship between IPV victimization and suicidal ideation.
- To clarify the psychological pathways linking IPV to suicidal thoughts among South Korean adults.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive, cross-sectional study involving 301 participants (aged 18-65) in South Korea.
- Online questionnaires administered via a social networking site.
- Structural equation modeling used to analyze data collected between February and March 2017.
Main Results:
- Significant correlations were found between IPV victimization, interpersonal dependency, anger, and suicidal ideation.
- IPV victimization's impact on anger and suicidal ideation was contingent on high levels of interpersonal dependency.
Conclusions:
- Developing targeted programs to reduce interpersonal dependency and improve anger management is crucial for IPV victims.
