This study examines the role of income in a psychosocial resource impairment model that explains partner violence and distress. Using data from a nationally representative sample, we test whether psychosocial resources of social support and self‐esteem operate differently in four income groups (poor, “working”‐poor, middle and upper‐income). Structural equation modeling shows that among women considered working‐poor, low self‐esteem is relevant for the process through which violence becomes linked to distress. Women of upper‐income appear distinct with negative interactions serving as sole mediator of violence and distress. Other findings indicate impaired support may mediate the violence and distress relation for women, regardless of income. Overall, income partially moderates the impact of partner violence on distress, suggesting social contexts should be considered when examining the effects of violence
