Article Abstract
Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is a prevalent and serious problem throughout the world, causing devastating mental and physical health problems for victims. Recent research has begun to focus on factors that may influence women's decisions to stay or leave their abusive partners, as interventions for batterers has only resulted in minimal success in reducing IPV. Therefore, this study preliminarily examined the influence of women's perceptions of their social network members' subjective norms and their relationship commitment on stages of change to end an abusive relationship among a community sample of female IPV victims (N = 84). Results showed that subjective norms and women's relationship commitment were associated with women's stages of change. Relationship commitment did not mediate the relation between subjective norms and stages of change. These findings indicate that a number of factors contribute to women's stay/leave decision-making process, and close social network members could be included in interventions designed to keep women safe.

Article Synopsis
- Subjective Memory Complaints (SMC) are prevalent among older Brazilians and may indicate higher risks for memory impairment and dementia, but this association is not well studied in diverse populations.
- The study analyzed data from over 9,400 Brazilians aged 50 and older, revealing that 41.9% reported SMC, with significant factors like education, daily living impairments, and depressive symptoms linked to objective memory impairment (MI).
- The findings suggest that while SMC is common, only about 25% of those experiencing SMC also show objective memory impairment, indicating a potential gap between perceived and actual memory issues.
