Psychological symptoms, abuse characteristics, abuse disability, and coping were assessed in college women who either did or did not acknowledge victim status relative to rape or intimate partner violence. Women were asked directly whether they had experienced intimate partner violence or rape. They also completed the Conflicts Tactic Scale (CTS) and the Sexual Experience Survey (SES). Participants were then classified into groups depending upon whether their answer, when directly asked, was consistent with their self-report on the CTS or SES. Overall, women who met the experiential criteria for either assault, but who did not acknowledge victimization, reported greater disability, more psychological symptoms, and impaired coping. This effect was particularly strong for the rape groups, where those who did not acknowledge victimization reported far more psychological distress, disability, and impaired coping than controls and other victim groups. The authors discuss the results in terms of their methodological implications for studies of assault victims and in terms of the clinical implications for victim identification and treatment.
心理症状、虐待特征、虐待残疾和应对方式在承认或否认与强奸或亲密伴侣暴力有关的受害身份的女大学生中进行了评估。女性被直接询问是否经历过亲密伴侣暴力或强奸。她们还完成了冲突策略量表 (CTS) 和性经历调查 (SES)。然后，根据她们的回答与 CTS 或 SES 自我报告的一致性，将参与者分为不同的组。总体而言，那些符合任何一种攻击经验标准但不承认受害的女性报告了更大的残疾、更多的心理症状和受损的应对能力。对于强奸组来说，这种影响尤其强烈，那些不承认受害的女性报告的心理困扰、残疾和应对能力受损程度远远高于对照组和其他受害组。作者根据研究强奸受害者的方法学意义以及受害者识别和治疗的临床意义讨论了这些结果。
