Intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization is a strong predictor of women's sexual risk behavior. Social disconnection may be central to understanding this association. In a sample of 204 IPV victims, we (a) evaluated the extent to which social disconnection underlies the association between IPV severity and sexual risk behavior, and (b) tested the idea that the association between social disconnection and sexual risk behavior is stronger among women without alternative means to social connection (i.e., lack close friendships). The indirect effect of physical and sexual IPV, respectively, on sexual risk behavior via social disconnection was significant. The number of close friends women had moderated the association between social disconnection and sexual risk behavior, such that having multiple close friendships buffered the effects of social disconnection.

社交断开是亲密伴侣暴力受害者中性风险行为的一种途径。

亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）受害是女性性风险行为的有力预测指标。社会脱节可能是理解这种联系的中心。在204位IPV受害者的样本中，我们（a）评估了社会断开是IPV严重性与性风险行为之间的关联的基础，并且（b）测试了社会断开与性风险行为之间的关联在以下人群中更强的想法没有社会联系的其他方式的妇女（即缺乏亲密的友谊）。物理和性IPV分别通过社交断开对性风险行为的间接影响是显着的。妇女的亲密朋友数量减轻了社交断开与性危险行为之间的联系，
