The concept of social support has been found to be a protective
factor in women's intimate partner violence victimization. However,
little is known about the relationship between women's social
support from family and friends and their intimate partner violence
perpetration. Research evidence demonstrates that women's
perpetration of violence is surprisingly frequent, particularly in
women younger than age 30. This study investigated the role of
social support in heterosexual women's use and receipt of
non-lethal aggression against an intimate partner among 673 female
college students. The implications of these findings for research
and practice are discussed.
