JO - Psychology of violence A1 - The editors, SP - 219 EP - 219 VL - 11 IS - 2 N2 - Reports an error in "Intimate partner violence and psychological well-being: Examining the effect of economic abuse on women's quality of life" by Adrienne E. Adams and Marisa L. Beeble (Psychology of Violence, 2019[Sep], Vol 9[5], 517-525). In the article "Intimate Partner Violence and Psychological Well-Being: Examining the Effect of Economic Abuse on Women's Quality of Life," by Adrienne E. Adams and Marisa L. Beeble (Psychology of Violence, 2019, Vol. 9, No. 5, pp. 517-525, http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/vio0000174), due to an editorial production error, the final two sentences of the introductory paragraph were incorrect. These sentences have been corrected to read "Limited research has explored the psychological consequences of economic abuse (Antai, Oke, Braithwaite, & Lopez, 2014; Haj-Yahia, 2000; Postmus, Huang, & Mathisen-Sylianou, 2012; Voth Schrag, 2015). The current study seeks to expand our understanding of the effects of IPV on women's general psychological well-being by empirically investigating the longitudinal effects of economic abuse on subjective quality of life." The online version of this article has been corrected. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2018-18182-001.) Objective: To expand our understanding of the effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) on women's general psychological well-being by empirically investigating the longitudinal effects of economic abuse on subjective quality of life.

METHOD: In total, 94 women who had recently experienced physical violence and were receiving IPV services participated in 3 in-person interviews over a 4-month period.

RESULTS: Time 1 (T1) economic abuse was not related to perceived quality of life at T1 or to change in quality of life over time. However, within-woman change in economic abuse was significantly related to change in quality of life over time. In other words, relative to T1, at times when economic abuse was higher, quality of life was lower, and vice versa.

CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that economic abuse plays a role in the psychological well-being of IPV survivors, and the effect appears to be immediate. Research examining the psychological consequences of IPV would benefit from the inclusion of economic abuse in the measurement of IPV. Further, research examining the effects of economic abuse on survivors' psychological well-being should consider including indicators of quality of life and explore how this relationship unfolds over time using a lagged design and a longer follow-up period. Finally, practitioners can support the overall psychological well-being of survivors of IPV by implementing strategies to help prevent, minimize, or recover from economic abuse.
