Few studies have examined abuse acknowledgment among intimate partner violence (IPV) victims. To our knowledge, this study is the first to use an experimental manipulation to assess changes in acknowledgment among IPV victims. Female undergraduate students currently in dating relationships completed demographic, coping and psychopathology questionnaires, and the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS). They then watched a video of an IPV perpetrator who either acknowledged abuse or did not acknowledge abuse. Following the video, participants completed a psychopathology questionnaire and a post-video acknowledgment assessment. Approximately 38% of the sample reported IPV victimization. Only 7.89% acknowledged victimization. Acknowledged IPV victims had the highest mean victimization score but reported psychopathology similar to nonvictims on all subscales except phobic anxiety. Unacknowledged victims reported greater psychopathology, depression, anxiety, and hostility than nonvictims and were more symptomatic overall. Unacknowledged victims reported more frequent use of avoidant coping strategies than nonvictims. These strategies included substance use, self-blame, and behavioral disengagement. Acknowledged and unacknowledged victims reported greater abuse disability than nonvictims, and acknowledged victims reported greater life restriction than unacknowledged victims. Following the video, the number of acknowledged victims nearly doubled, and acknowledged victims reported increased depression. On the basis of these findings, clinicians and researchers should carefully consider acknowledgment as a potential factor in post-victimization mental health and explore ways to increases victim acknowledgment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08862605211028289","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,2]],"date-time":"2021-07-02T23:17:24Z","timestamp":1625267844000},"page":"NP17182-NP17204","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Victim and Perpetrator Acknowledgement of Intimate Partner Violence and Victim Psychopathology"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9399-9217","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Caroline M.","family":"Clements","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina at Wilmington, NC, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brittanie C.","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Carolina at Wilmington, NC, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allison","family":"Laajala\u2013Lozano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of North Texas, North Texas, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karly","family":"Casanave","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of West Virginia, West Virgina, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-08862605211028289","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cpr.2009.11.004"},{"key":"bibr2-08862605211028289","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/deafed\/enr048"},{"key":"bibr3-08862605211028289","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2009.12.009"},{"key":"bibr4-08862605211028289","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260517715022"},{"key":"bibr5-08862605211028289","author":"Black M.
