TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder following intimate partner violence: the role of self-criticism, guilt, and gender beliefs JO - Violence against women A1 - Naismith, Iona A1 - Ripoll-Núñez, Karen A1 - Henao, Gabriela Baquero SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Intimate partner violence (IPV) predicts anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet the role of cognition in these pathways is poorly understood. This study explored whether self-criticism, guilt, and gender beliefs predicted psychological symptoms, using self-report data from 50 Colombian female IPV survivors with diverse socioeconomic statuses. Self-criticism and guilt were high and significantly associated with IPV. Self-criticism significantly predicted depression and PTSD, whilst only guilt predicted anxiety. Traditional gender role beliefs were associated with emotional abuse, but not with self-criticism, guilt, or symptoms. In conclusion, self-criticism and guilt are important treatment targets for female IPV survivors, regardless of gender beliefs.
