这项研究调查了受虐妇女与家人和朋友谈论她们所经历的虐待的程度以及家人和朋友的反应。参与者是 137 名最近遭受家庭暴力并即将离开庇护所的妇女。大多数女性都会向家人和朋友吐露自己遭受虐待的经历。家人和朋友的反应取决于具体情况，包括妇女与袭击者的关系、分居次数、孩子数量以及家人和朋友是否受到威胁。家人和朋友的负面反应和提供的有形支持与女性的幸福感显着相关，但积极的情感支持则不然。
This study examined the degree to which battered women talked with family and friends about abuse they were experiencing and how family and friends responded. Participants were 137 women who had recently experienced domestic violence and were exiting a shelter. Most women confided in family and friends about the abuse. Family and friends' reactions depended on contextual factors, including the woman's relationship with her assailant, number of separations, number of children, and whether family and friends were threatened. Family and friends' negative reactions and offers of tangible support were significantly related to women's well-being, although positive emotional support was not.
