TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Interpersonal violence and mental health outcomes: mediation by self-efficacy and coping JO - Victims and offenders A1 - MagalhÃes, Eunice A1 - Grych, John A1 - Ferreira, Célia A1 - Antunes, Carla A1 - Prioste, Ana A1 - Jongenelen, Inês SP - 182 EP - 198 VL - 17 IS - 2 N2 - There is a compelling need to explore the mechanisms linking violence to mental health. This study tested the mediating role of self-efficacy and coping in the association between victimization and mental health. Data were obtained from 422 adults (aged 18-77; M = 30.05; SD = 10.93). Self-efficacy and maladaptive coping strategies mediated the association between physical victimization and anxiety, and the association between psychological victimization and satisfaction with life anxiety and depression. Self-efficacy and adaptive coping also mediated the association between psychological victimization and satisfaction with life. This study provides important implications for research and practice.
