虽然研究人员发现，亲密伴侣暴力的幸存者寻求从专业人员到非正式支持网络等多种来源的支持，但对社区成员伸出援手帮助幸存者的程度知之甚少。本研究探讨了向幸存者提供的支持类型以及与个人帮助意愿相关的各种因素。幸存者更有可能得到妇女、年轻人、那些强烈支持对犯罪者进行刑事司法干预的人以及那些认为亲密伴侣暴力是其社区经常发生的问题的人的帮助。另外两个因素被发现与个人协助他人的可能性有关，包括儿童时期目睹亲密伴侣的暴力行为和以前的受害情况。需要在这一领域进行进一步的研究，以探讨可能影响一个人向幸存者提供援助的可能性的帮助者、幸存者和背景特征。
Although researchers have found that survivors of intimate partner violence seek support from a multitude of sources, ranging from professionals to informal support networks, little is known about the extent to which community members reach out to help survivors. This study explored the type of support provided to survivors and various factors that relate to individuals' willingness to help. Survivors were more likely to be helped by women, younger individuals, those who strongly endorsed criminal justice interventions for perpetrators, and those who perceived intimate partner violence as a frequently occurring issue in their communities. Two additional factors were found to relate to an individual's likelihood of assisting others, including witnessing intimate partner violence as a child and prior victimization. Further research is needed in this area to explore helper, survivor, and contextual characteristics that may affect one's likelihood to offer assistance to survivors.
