The Impact of the Resilience Portfolio on Negative Mental Health Outcomes Among College Students: Interactions with Intimate Partner Violence

Description: This study investigated college students’ Resilience Portfolios, namely regulatory, interpersonal, meaning-making, and poly-strengths as protective factors for negative mental health outcomes (suicidal ideation, psychological distress, and loneliness). We also examined the interaction effects of these protective factors for the association of intimate partner violence (IPV) on these outcomes. This study pointed to the importance of regulatory, interpersonal, meaning-making, and poly-strengths in their protective effect on negative mental health outcomes. However, these strengths do not moderate the association of IPV on negative mental health outcomes, indicating that more research is needed on protective factors for IPV.
