低性自信被认为是发生性再次受害的可能机制，但对此的证据好坏参半。在这项研究中，前瞻性路径分析被用来研究随着时间的推移，在社区样本的妇女性拒绝自信和性受害之间的关系。结果提供了支持的互惠关系，与历史的受害预测低性自信和低性自信预测随后的受害。最近的性侵害对随后的性自信的影响也被前瞻性地复制。这些研究结果表明，加强性自信可能有助于减少未来受害的脆弱性。
Low sexual assertiveness has been proposed as a possible mechanism through which sexual revictimization occurs, yet evidence for this has been mixed. In this study, prospective path analysis was used to examine the relationship between sexual refusal assertiveness and sexual victimization over time among a community sample of women. Results provide support for a reciprocal relationship, with historical victimization predicting low sexual assertiveness and low sexual assertiveness predicting subsequent victimization. The effect of recent sexual victimization on subsequent sexual assertiveness also was replicated prospectively. These findings suggest that strengthening sexual assertiveness may help reduce vulnerability to future victimization.
