abstract="Scientific research has explored the impact of violence during adulthood on psychopathology. Fewer efforts have been made from a positive theoretical framework,  and no systematic evidence has been provided. This manuscript describes a literature  review and meta-analysis on the relationship between victimization experiences and  well-being in adulthood. A literature review was performed, and 27 studies met the  inclusion criteria for the systematic review 16 for the meta-analysis. The  meta-analysis yielded a medium and significant overall effect size (r = -0.309, p <.001), which indicated that greater victimization experiences partly explain lower  well-being outcomes. A set of theoretical and methodological issues are discussed,  specifically considering the conceptualization of victimization and well-being as  well as the studies design, sample characteristics, measures, and data analysis. Derived from this integrative discussion, some recommendations are also provided for  future research.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
