Abstract Details

2018, Master of Arts, Miami University, Psychology.
This work examined the impact of social exclusion on risk assessment for intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization. I tested two theoretically plausible and competing hypotheses: that social exclusion might facilitate (1) insensitivity (or indifference) to warning signs of IPV or (2) hypersensitivity to warning signs of IPV. To test these hypotheses, participants wrote about a time they experienced exclusion or academic failure (control) and then completed an IPV risk assessment, along with measures of possible mediators (basic needs, hostile cognitive bias) and moderators (fear of negative evaluation, social support, IPV history, and perspective-taking) of the anticipated effects. Unexpectedly, neither hypothesis was supported; independent-samples t-tests revealed no significant difference in risk assessment between excluded and non-excluded respondents. However, results revealed a significant indirect effect on risk assessment via relational needs, such that exclusion lowered relational needs, and lowered relational needs predicted a greater latency in leaving an abusive relationship. Implications from both social psychological and clinical perspectives are discussed.
