Research suggests that many sexual assault survivors do not disclose their experience, which may increase associated distress. Pennebaker's emotional disclosure paradigm has been shown to ameliorate psychological and physical distress in individuals exposed to stressful events. The current study assessed the effectiveness of this paradigm with sexual assault survivors (N = 74). College women with a history of sexual assault wrote about their most severe victimization or about how they spend their time (control). Then 73 women (98.6%) completed a 1-month follow-up assessment. Results indicated that across writing sessions, the disclosure group reported greater reductions in negative mood immediately post-writing. However, both groups showed significant reductions in physical complaints, psychological distress, and traumatic stress symptoms at the 1-month follow-up, suggesting no added benefit to disclosure of a sexual assault using a brief written paradigm.
研究表明，许多性侵犯幸存者没有披露他们的经历，这可能会增加相关的痛苦。彭尼贝克的情感披露范式已被证明可以减轻经历压力事件的个体的心理和生理痛苦。本研究评估了这一范式对性侵犯幸存者的有效性（N=74）。有性侵犯史的大学生女性写下了她们最严重的受害经历，或者写下了她们的时间安排（对照组）。然后，73 名女性（98.6%）完成了为期 1 个月的随访评估。结果表明，在整个写作过程中，披露组在写作后立即报告负面情绪有更大的减轻。然而，两组在 1 个月的随访中都显示出身体不适、心理困扰和创伤后应激症状的显著减少，这表明使用简短的书面范式披露性侵犯没有额外的好处。
