This study was an exploratory analysis of the variables which differentiated incest survivors who self-mutilate from those who do not.
A sample of women incest survivors (N = 84) were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of self-mutilation. Participants included both community and clinical populations. A packet consisting of a demographic questionnaire, Sexual Attitudes Survey, Diagnostic Inventory of Personality and Symptoms, Dissociative Events Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory was completed by each participant.
Demographic, incest, and family of origin variables distinguished the self-mutilating women from those who did not. These include ethnicity and educational experiences; duration, frequency, and perpetrator characteristics regarding the incest; and multiple abuses, instability, birth order, and loss of mother in one's family of origin. Psychological and physical health concerns also differentiated between the two groups.
Many variables may differentiate between women incest survivors who self-mutilate from those who do not. A rudimentary checklist to describe the lives of incest survivors who self-mutilate resulted from these findings. The importance of the concept of embodiment is also discussed.
本研究对区分有自残行为的乱伦幸存者和无自残行为的乱伦幸存者的变量进行了探索性分析。
根据是否存在自残行为，将84名女性乱伦幸存者样本分为两组。参与者包括社区人群和临床人群。每位参与者都完成了一份包含人口统计学问卷、性态度调查、人格与症状诊断量表、分离事件量表和贝克抑郁量表的资料包。
人口统计学、乱伦及原生家庭变量区分了有自残行为的女性和无自残行为的女性。这些变量包括种族和教育经历；乱伦的持续时间、频率和施暴者特征；以及多重虐待、家庭不稳定、出生顺序和原生家庭中母亲的缺失。两组在心理和身体健康问题方面也存在差异。
许多变量可能区分有自残行为的女性乱伦幸存者和无自残行为的女性乱伦幸存者。基于这些发现得出了一份描述有自残行为的乱伦幸存者生活的初步清单。同时还讨论了具身化概念的重要性。
