我们检验性侵害的不同特征、创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状严重程度和一般控制感之间的关系。我们的主要关注点在于测试。根据Foa，Zinbarg和Olasov-Rothbaum(1992)提出的创伤后应激障碍动物模型，基于不可控和/或不可预测的厌恶事件的影响，得出了三个预测。117名女大学生参与并完成了过去儿童性虐待、成人性虐待、创伤后应激障碍症状严重程度和心理控制源的自我报告。结果表明，儿童性虐待的多次经历与普遍控制感的减弱有关，而普遍控制感的减弱与成人性受害后更严重的创伤后应激障碍症状有关，当儿童性虐待经历一次或涉及武力时。这些结果部分支持了创伤后应激障碍的不可控性/不可预测性模型。然而，有必要进行进一步的研究，以坚定地确定这些关联所涉及的因果关系的方向。(C)1997年爱思唯尔科学有限公司。
We examined the relations among various characteristics of sexual victimization, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity, and generalized perception of control. Our main focus lay in testing. three predictions derived from the animal model of PTSD articulated by Foa, Zinbarg, and Olasov-Rothbaum (1992) based on the effects of uncontrollable and/or unpredictable aversive events. A sample of 117 female undergraduates participated and completed self-report measures of past experience with child sexual abuse, adult sexual victimization, PTSD symptom severity, and locus of control. The results showed that child sexual abuse experienced on multiple occasions was associated with diminished generalized perception of control and that diminished generalized perception of control is associated with greater PTSD symptom severity following adult sexual victimization when experienced on a single occasion or involving force. These results provide partial support for the uncontrollability/unpredictability model of PTSD. Further research is necessary, however, to firmly establish the direction of causality involved in these associations. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
