Every year, millions of people experience intimate partner violence (IPV) and commercial sexual exploitation (CSE), with researchers increasingly discussing the overlap between these two forms of interpersonal violence. However, researchers have not yet used quantitative methods to examine the link between IPV and CSE or to explore potential mechanisms underlying the overlap, including child maltreatment risk factors and psychological mechanisms. One potential mechanism is trauma-related shame, a symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder commonly experienced by both victims of CSE and IPV. The current study explores trauma-related shame, childhood maltreatment, and IPV and their associations with CSE using a sample of 174 primarily Black women. Binomial logistic regression is used to analyze the impact of IPV, child abuse and neglect, and trauma-related shame on CSE. Results indicate that IPV and trauma-related shame are both significant predictors of CSE. Implications for future research and the incorporation of shame in trauma-related treatment are discussed.

商业性剥削与亲密伴侣暴力的重叠：对创伤相关羞耻的探索性检验

每年，数百万人经历亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）和商业性剥削（CSE），研究人员越来越多地讨论这两种形式的人际暴力之间的重叠。然而，研究人员尚未使用定量方法来检验 IPV 和 CSE 之间的联系或探索重叠背后的潜在机制，包括虐待儿童的风险因素和心理机制。一种潜在的机制是与创伤相关的羞耻感，这是 CSE 和 IPV 受害者普遍经历的创伤后应激障碍症状。目前的研究以 174 名主要是黑人女性为样本，探讨了与创伤相关的羞耻感、童年虐待和 IPV 及其与 CSE 的关联。使用二项式逻辑回归分析 IPV、儿童虐待和忽视以及创伤相关羞耻对 CSE 的影响。结果表明，IPV 和创伤相关羞耻感都是 CSE 的重要预测因素。讨论了对未来研究的影响以及将羞耻纳入创伤相关治疗中的意义。
