Abstract
Intimate partner violence (IPV) does not discriminate based on gender, culture, or background, making IPV a universal (i.e., etic) phenomenon; however, Latinas’ cultural realities (i.e., emic) can be overlooked if their IPV experiences are only examined through an etic lens. Therefore, the present study implemented an emic-etic approach to examine Latina student survivors’ well-being. Utilizing the Psychosociocultural Framework, the present study examined if psychological (resilient coping), social (perceived social support), and cultural (marianismo) variables explicate Latinas’ emic and etic well-being. Resilient coping, social support, and marianismo collectively explained emic (19%) and etic (38%) well-being. Limitations and future directions are presented.
