Abstract:
This study examines whether a personal experience narrative (PEN) can be used to elicit positive reactions to psychological intimate partner violence (PIPV) survivors. We conducted an experimental vignette-based study among 430 young adults (50.5% men; aged 18-25 years) to compare the effect of narrative formats (written PEN, audio PEN, video PEN, and non-PEN control condition) as delivered by a female and male survivor. The results demonstrate that video PENs (presented as TED-style talks) elicited higher empathic reaction and victim likeability than other narrative formats. Victim gender had no effect on outcome measures. Results can be used for developing PIPV interventions.
