Wioletta Karina Ozga

Abstract


The main goal of the research was to determine the personality traits and social skills explaining the difference between the women experiencing domestic violence and control group and facilitating the proper classification of women to the groups of domestic violence victims. An additional goal of the study was to answer the question which personality traits predict social competence of women experiencing domestic violence. The research group consisted of 30 women experiencing domestic violence from their partner and 30 from the control group. Two standardized tools were used to measure psychological variables: Personality Inventory NEO-FFI and the Social Competence Questionnaire SCQ. Based on the discrimination analysis, it was concluded that the high level of neuroticism determined the assignment women to domestic violence victims group. Furthermore, it was found competences related to social exposure were predicted by extraversion and neuroticism. Assertiveness was determined by the level of neuroticism. Interpersonal closeness was predicted by conscientiousness.
