Validation of the Brief Pathological Narcissism Inventory and Its Association with Cyber Intimate Partner Violence in Portuguese Emerging Adults.

Rego Mónica M, Caridade Sónia S

Cyber intimate partner violence (C-IPV) refers to abusive and controlling behaviors enacted through digital technologies toward a current or former intimate partner. Previous research suggests that pathological narcissism may be associated with C-IPV. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Brief Pathological Narcissism Inventory (B-PNI), the frequency of self-reported C-IPV perpetration and related behaviors, and the association between C-IPV perpetration and pathological narcissism among emerging adults. The sample comprised 371 participants aged 18-25 years (M = 21.52, SD = 1.97), of whom 78.7% were female. Confirmatory factor analysis provided support for the a priori two-factor model of the B-PNI (CFI = 0.982, TLI = 0.965, RMSEA = 0.076), comprising grandiose and vulnerable narcissism. The B-PNI showed satisfactory internal consistency and theoretically expected associations with psychopathological symptoms and broader personality dimensions. Overall, 79.5% of participants reported at least one C-IPV behavior, with 61.5% reporting online control, 62.0% online jealousy, and 31.5% online intrusive behaviors. C-IPV perpetration was positively and significantly associated with both grandiose and vulnerable narcissism, although the associations were small in magnitude. The findings provide preliminary support for the use of the B-PNI among Portuguese emerging adults and indicate that pathological narcissism is associated with C-IPV perpetration. Given the modest magnitude of these associations, narcissistic traits should be considered as one of multiple individual and relational factors potentially involved in C-IPV.

Increasing Language Access for Intimate Partner Violence Support Services: A Scoping Review.

Richey Ann E AE, DiMascolo Lisa D LD, Bender Anna E AE, Bhattacharya Anindita A et al.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health concern. Survivors face numerous barriers to accessing services, particularly when services in many places are only provided in English. This scoping review aimed to identify research and practice-based articles that explore interventions to increase language accessibility to support services for IPV. Articles were identified through a systematic search of databases and selected for inclusion if they involved language accessibility for IPV support services across settings (e.g., legal services, advocacy, hotlines, social services, healthcare, law enforcement). We identified 15 research and 14 practice-based articles for inclusion. Most interventions and practices for increasing language access were in settings related to health care, advocacy and social services, or community-based organizations. Research articles described various adaptations to interventions for increasing language access, which mostly included interpretation, translation, bilingual assistance, and culturally tailored programs. All research articles had language access adaptations for their intervention, but only 60% of the research articles included specific findings related to language access and culture. Practice-based articles discussed guidance around the development, assessment, and evaluation of a language access plan, language access engagement and implementation, and different elements and settings for language access. Findings highlight the intersection between language and culture, underscoring the need to address these interconnected aspects beyond simple translation and interpretation. IPV support services should hire multilingual and multicultural staff and address fear around immigration status. Increased funding is needed to ensure higher quality language access supports are implemented. Additional implications for research, practice, and policy are discussed.

First mRNA Cancer Vaccine Succeeds in Phase III Trial.

Adding the mRNA-based individualized neoantigen vaccine intismeran autogene to the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab following surgery for melanoma reduced the risk of disease recurrence or death by 42%, according to the results of the phase III INTerpath-0001 trial.
