This study generates a metatheory of interpersonal violence from an
initial qualitatively highest scoring academic literature item and
theoretically sampling over 200 additional literature items using classic
grounded theory methodological analysis and synthesis. Danger emerged
as the main concern of those experiencing interpersonal violence.
Safetifying from interpersonal violence through the socio-psychophysical
process of Phasic Protective Sequencing emerged as the resolution of the
main concern.
The metatheory of safetifying emerged in four parts:
1. The first was the socio-structural process of endangering with
interpersonal violence through the interaction of the people and the
elite resulting in endangerment (danger).
2. Danger precipitates the socio-psychological process of safetifying
before interpersonal violence which involves awarenessing, setting up,
and evaluating.
3. If the person is attacked, it precipitates the psycho-physical process of
safetifying during interpersonal violence including resiliencing,
finishing, and victoring.
4. The aftermath of an attack or the avoidance of an attack precipitates
the psycho-social process of safetifying after interpersonal violence
including reclaiming, relinquishing, and achieving.
The metatheory of safetifying was shown to contribute uniquely to the
field of interpersonal violence, to many related theories, and to have
potential for therapeutic application. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
