The purpose of this study was to explore gender differences in symptomatology among sexual abuse survivors utilizing a standardized measure of specific symptom patterns, the Symptom Checklist 90-Revised (SCL-90-R).
Gender differences in symptomatology of adults sexually victimized as children were examined. Participants were 162 women and 25 men entering an outpatient treatment program for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) in a university-based community mental health center. Symptomatology was measured using the Symptom Checklist 90-Revised (SCL-90-R).
Although no differences appeared when examining the raw data, the results changed dramatically once the data were converted into T-scores and epidemiological SCL-90-R gender differences were taken into account. The findings indicate that men exhibited significantly more interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, and phobic anxiety than women in relation to their respective normative samples.
The use of nonclinical T-scores in this study allows for the interpretation that men survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) have higher levels of symptomatology than women survivors when compared to their respective normative samples.
本研究旨在利用特定症状模式的标准化测量工具——症状自评量表90修订版（SCL - 90 - R），探究性虐待幸存者症状学方面的性别差异。
对童年期遭受性侵害的成年人性症状学方面的性别差异进行了研究。参与者为162名女性和25名男性，他们进入了一所大学社区心理健康中心的成人童年期性虐待（CSA）门诊治疗项目。使用症状自评量表90修订版（SCL - 90 - R）测量症状学。
虽然在检查原始数据时未发现差异，但一旦将数据转换为T分数并考虑到SCL - 90 - R的流行病学性别差异，结果就发生了巨大变化。研究结果表明，与各自的常模样本相比，男性在人际敏感、抑郁、焦虑和恐惧焦虑方面的表现明显高于女性。
本研究中使用非临床T分数可以解释为，与各自的常模样本相比，童年期性虐待（CSA）男性幸存者的症状学水平高于女性幸存者。
