生活改变文献中的一个中心假设是，生活改变的严重程度与疾病之间存在线性关联。生活的变化被视为压力源，扰乱了个体正常的体内平衡，从而增加了对疾病的易感性。目前的研究，使用收集的成年[人类]女性强奸受害者的数据，调查了以前的生活改变对性侵犯受害者所经历的情感创伤水平的影响。开发并测试了模型(4)。以前的生活变化与受害者遭受的强奸影响程度之间存在显著的曲线关系。这种曲线关系，这是一致的模型之一，发现在急性期和重组阶段的强奸创伤综合征。过去生活变化的定性性质（无论是积极的还是消极的）以及与受害者和性侵犯有关的其他控制变量不会改变过去生活变化与强奸影响之间的关系。本文从改变生活的文献和为性侵犯受害者提供强奸危机治疗服务的角度讨论了这些发现的含义。
A central assumption in the life-change literature asserts a linear association between severity of life change and illness. Life changes are viewed as stressors that upset the normal homeostasis of the individual, and so increase susceptibility to disease. The present research, using data collected on adult [human] female rape victims, investigates the effects of prior life change on the level of emotional trauma experienced by victims of sexual assault. Models (4) are developed and tested. There is a significant curvilinear relationship between prior life change and the level of rape impact suffered by the victim. This curvilinear relationship, which is consistent with one of the proposed models, is found during the acute stage, and the reorganization stage of the rape trauma syndrome. The qualitative nature of the prior life change (whether it was positive or negative) and other control variables relating to the victim and the sexual assault do not alter the relationship between prior life change and rape impact. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of the life-change literature and of the provision of rape crisis treatment services to sexual assault victims.
