In order to document the plight of Saudi women attending colleges and universities in the United States who are bearing the stigma and residual effects of domestic abuse, this study investigates whether intimate partner violence affects the study habits and success of Saudi female students by discomposing their psychological well-being. To understand the prevalence of abuse among Saudi Arabian students studying at universities in the United States (US), some student's files belonging to females who had reported abuse, or whose husbands were arrested by the local police for incidents related to abuse, were reviewed. As a consequence, it was determined that a survey should be conducted in order to determine the prevalence of abuse among married students living in the United States in order to discover what psychological symptoms the female students encounter and how those symptoms affect their studies. Such an investigation required the use of several instruments designed to develop measures of domestic violence in order to explore the nature of violence women in the study are facing and the potential for residual psychological effects. Tools used include the ASICS Academic Scale, the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Scale, Beck's Depression Scale (BDI), and the Intimate Partner Violence Screening Tool.
