研究儿童猥亵的长期后果的临床研究人员报告说,儿童性虐待的女性幸存者成年后遭受性侵犯的风险更高。然而,很少有文献关注来自不同种族或文化背景的妇女对儿童和/或成人的性侵害。在研究儿童性虐待的长期后果时,这项调查考察了有色人种女性再次遭受性伤害的比率。从两所社区学院的志愿者库中招募并随机选出 243 名多种族(白人、非裔美国人、拉丁裔和亚裔美国人)女性样本,进行广泛的临床访谈。成年后报告遭到强奸的妇女中,近三分之二有儿童性虐待史,而大约三分之一的未受害妇女有儿童性虐待史。此外,对每个族裔群体内成人强奸率的检查揭示了有和没有儿童性虐待史的妇女之间的差异。白人女性、非裔美国女性和拉丁裔女性之间存在显着差异(即与儿童性虐待史相关的强奸率较高),但亚裔美国女性则不然。这项调查的结果强调了儿童性虐待和成人强奸之间的关系,并表明研究人员需要在更广泛的文化背景下看待性受害行为。
Clinical researchers examining the long-term consequences of child molestation have reported that female survivors of child sexual abuse experience a higher risk of sexual assault as adults. However, very little literature has focused on the child and/or adult sexual victimization of women from different ethnic or cultural backgrounds. In examining the long-term consequences of child sexual abuse, this investigation examined the rates of sexual revictimization of women of color. A multiethnic (white, African-American, Latina, and Asian-American) sample of 243 women, recruited and randomly selected from a pool of volunteers from two community colleges, were administered extensive clinical interviews. Nearly two thirds of the women who reported rape as an adult had a history of child sexual abuse, while approximately one third of the nonvictimized women had a child sexual abuse history. Additionally, an examination of the rates of adult rape within each ethnic group revealed differences between the women with and without a history of child sexual abuse. Significant differences (i.e., higher rates of rape associated with a prior history of child sexual abuse) were found for white women, African-American women, and Latinas, but not for Asian-American women. The results of this investigation highlight the relationship between child sexual abuse and adult rape and suggest the need for researchers to take a broader cultural context in which to view sexual victimization.
