Objective - To explore the associations between characteristics of exposure to psychological violence in the workplace and depressive symptoms in a sample of currently employed workers. Materials and Methods - The sample consisted of 3,132 men and 4,562 women from the working population of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA) region. Individuals exposed to violence were identified using both Leymann’s definition and self-reports by employees. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the CES-D scale. Results - After adjusting for covariates—age, family status, presence of children, educational level, and occupation—exposure to violence was a risk factor for depressive symptoms. The more frequent the exposure, the higher the risk of symptoms. Past exposure was also observed as a risk factor. Witnessing violence increased the risk, particularly among women who had already been exposed to violence. Discussion-Conclusion - Psychological violence in the workplace was identified as a major risk factor for depressive symptoms. Although no causal conclusions can be drawn from this cross-sectional study, it suggests that efforts to prevent such violence should be intensified. (R.A.)
