Examining the Link Between Domestic Violence Victimization and Loneliness in a Dutch Community Sample: A Comparison Between Victims and Nonvictims by Type D Personality

Abstract  

The current study investigated whether differences in loneliness scores between individuals with a distressed personality
type (type D personality) and subjects without such a personality varied by domestic violence victimization. Participants
(N = 625) were recruited by random sampling from the Municipal Basic Administration of the Dutch city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch and
were invited to fill out a set of questionnaires on health status. For this study, only ratings for domestic violence victimization,
type D personality, feelings of loneliness, and demographics were used. Statistical analyses yielded main effects on loneliness
for both type D personality and history of domestic violence victimization. Above and beyond these main effects, their interaction
was significantly associated with loneliness as well. However, this result seemed to apply to emotional loneliness in particular.
Findings were discussed in light of previous research and study limitations.
