对性侵犯的几项回顾性调查评估了生命早期的性受害经历在多大程度上是随后受害经历的风险因素。目前的调查是一种尝试，通过对857名女大学生的性侵犯样本进行前瞻性分析，以评估受害经历之间的联系，从而扩展以前的工作。设计是这样的，受害者和非受害者的历史，儿童和青少年的性受害的经验进行评估之前，他们最近的攻击经验。心理功能也进行了评估，采用标准化的措施，抑郁和焦虑。在袭击经历后，受害者的心理功能被重新评估，非受害者在一段可比的时间后被重新评估。路径分析的结果表明，在生命早期的性受害是一个危险因素的成年受害的经验。此外，研究结果揭示了心理功能与受害经历之间的联系。讨论强调了这些发现的临床意义，并为未来的研究提出了建议。
Several retrospective investigations of sexual assault have assessed the extent to which a sexual victimization experience early in life is a risk factor for a subsequent victimization experience. The present investigation was an attempt to extend previous work by conducting a prospective analysis of sexual assault in a sample of 857 college women to assess the pathways through which victimization experiences become linked. The design was such that both victims' and nonvictims' history of child and adolescent sexual victimization experiences were assessed prior to their most recent assault experience. Psychological functioning was also assessed utilizing standardized measures of depression and anxiety. After the assault experience, psychological functioning of victims was reassessed, and nonvictims were reassessed after a comparable period of time. Results of the path analysis indicated that a sexual victimization early in life is a risk factor for an adult victimization experience. Furthermore, the results revealed a link between psychological functioning and victimization experiences. The discussion emphasizes clinical implications of these findings and suggested avenues for future research.
