目的:通过考察男性和女性之间的交叉滞后路径,对性侵犯受害、抑郁和性自尊之间的联系进行纵向分析。方法:德国的男、女大学生(N=2,425)在大学一、二、三年级各有3个数据波,每隔12个月进行一次测量。从14岁开始在时间1(T1)和最后12个月的时间2(T2)和时间3(T3)评估性侵犯受害情况。在每一波中测量抑郁和性自尊。结果:控制抑郁和性自尊的个体差异的随机截尾交叉滞后面板分析显示,T1时的性侵犯预测T2时的抑郁和较低的性自尊,T2时的抑郁和自尊预测T3时的性侵犯受害者。此外,从T1抑郁到T2性侵犯受害以及从T2性侵犯受害到T3抑郁的显著路径被发现。T1时的性侵害通过T2时的抑郁与T3时的性侵害间接相关。T1时的抑郁和性自尊与T3时的性侵害有间接联系。男性和女性之间的路径没有显著差异。结论:作为一般心理健康指标的抑郁和作为性行为领域特定结果的性自尊降低,性侵犯受害都是一个危险因素。此外,抑郁和性自尊增加了性侵犯受害的脆弱性,这对预防和干预工作有影响。本文档版权归美国心理学会或其联合出版商所有。本文仅供个人用户使用,不会广泛传播。
Objective: This article presents a longitudinal analysis of the links between sexual assault victimization, depression, and sexual self-esteem by examining their cross-lagged paths among both men and women. Method: Male and female college students (N = 2,425) in Germany participated in the study that comprised 3 data waves in their first, second, and third year of university, separated by 12-month intervals. Sexual assault victimization was assessed at Time 1 (T1) since the age of 14 and at Time 2 (T2) and Time 3 (T3) for the last 12 months. Depression and sexual self-esteem were measured at each wave. Results: Random-intercept cross-lagged panel analyses, controlling for individual differences in depression and sexual self-esteem, showed that sexual assault at T1 predicted depression and lower sexual self-esteem at T2, and depression and lower self-esteem at T2 predicted sexual assault victimization at T3. In addition, significant paths were found from T1 depression to T2 sexual assault victimization and from T2 sexual assault victimization to depression at T3. Sexual victimization at T1 was indirectly linked to sexual victimization at T3 via depression at T2. Both depression and sexual self-esteem at T1 were indirectly linked to sexual victimization at T3. The paths did not differ significantly between men and women. Conclusion: Sexual assault victimization was shown to be a risk factor for both depression as a general mental health indicator and lowered sexual self-esteem as a specific outcome in the domain of sexuality. Moreover, depression and sexual self-esteem increased the vulnerability for sexual assault victimization, which has implications for prevention and intervention efforts.
