虽然社会支持已被发现，以减轻性虐待的受害者的心理症状，文学并没有确定具体形式的社会支持，减轻失调性虐待的经验。本研究旨在区分特定类型的感知社会支持，缓冲创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的儿童性虐待（CSA）的受害者的发展。对172名成年女性CSA患者进行了人际支持评价量表（ISEL）和事件影响量表（IES）的调查。ISEL衡量4种支持类型的感知可用性。IES测量侵入和回避的核心PTSD症状。回归分析表明，社会支持显着缓冲PTSD的发展。最好的模型是一个包含自尊和评价支持。Ticket和归属支持对预测的贡献很小。此外，自尊支持被认为是预防PTSD发展的最重要变量。
Although social support has been found to attenuate psychological symptoms in victims of sexual abuse, literature does not identify the specific forms of social support that mitigate maladjustment following a sexual abuse experience. This study sought to distinguish the specific types of perceived social support that buffer the development of post-traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD) in victims of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). One hundred and seventy-two adult females reporting CSA were administered the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL) and the Impact of Events Scale (IES). The ISEL measures the perceived availability of 4 support types. The IES measures core PTSD symptoms of intrusion and avoidance. Regression analysis indicated that social support significantly buffered PTSD development. The best model was one which contained self-esteem and appraisal support. Tangible and belonging support added little to prediction. Further, self-esteem support was identified as the most important variable in preventing PTSD development.
