Abstract

The current study examined the relationships between witnessing domestic abuse, psychological diagnosis, and antisocial scores as they relate to sober support and participants’ score change for the global assessment of functioning. Results showed a significant three-way interaction between the independent variables as they relate to sober support, such that participants who witnessed domestic abuse, had no psych diagnosis, and had high antisocial scores reported more sober support than participants with low scores. In addition, when participants reported witnessing domestic abuse and had a psych diagnosis, those with low antisocial scores reported more sober support than those with moderate scores.
