  • This longitudinal study examined whether experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) were related to subsequent self-efficacy (i.e., belief in one’s own abilities to manage difficulties), and, in turn, to valued living (i.e., behavioral alignment with personal values) among 190 Veteran women. Participants completed 3 questionnaires over 4 years. Lifetime and recent experiences (i.e., the past 6 months) of psychological, physical, and sexual IPV were assessed at Time 1 (T1; N = 190); self-efficacy was assessed 3 years later, at Time 2 (T2; n = 142); and valued living was assessed 1 year later, at Time 3 (T3; n = 101). On average, Veteran women with more lifetime experiences of any type of IPV had lower self-efficacy, and in turn, lower valued living than Veteran women with fewer experiences of lifetime IPV.
