The association between a history of child sexual abuse (CSA) and specific negative outcomes (attachment, feelings of power, and self-esteem) was explored as was the relationship between those negative outcomes and sexual victimization during the first semester of college. Two groups of freshman college women (67 who had experienced CSA and 55 who had not) completed measures of attachment, feelings of power, and self-esteem at the beginning of their freshman year of college. At the end of their first semester of college, participants (n = 93) provided information about whether they had been sexually assaulted during their first semester of college. The results indicated that participants in the CSA group did not differ on reported attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, feelings of power, or self-esteem as compared to the control group. However, participants in the CSA group were more like to be sexually victimized during their first semester of college. Finally, logistic regression indicated that the negative outcomes of CSA were significantly related to sexual victimization during the first semester of college, with attachment anxiety playing an important role. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
探讨了儿童性虐待（CSA）史与特定负面结果（依恋、力量感和自尊心）之间的关联，以及这些负面结果与大学第一学期性受害之间的关系。两组大一女大学生（经历过 CSA 的 67 人和未经历过 CSA 的 55 人）在大学一年级开始时完成了依恋、力量感和自尊心的测量。在大学第一学期结束时，参与者（n=93）提供了他们在第一学期是否遭受过性侵犯的信息。结果表明，与对照组相比，CSA 组的参与者在报告的依恋焦虑、依恋回避、力量感或自尊心方面没有差异。然而，CSA 组的参与者在大学第一学期更有可能遭受性侵犯。最后，逻辑回归表明，CSA 的负面结果与大学第一学期的性受害显著相关，其中依恋焦虑起着重要作用。讨论了研究结果的理论和实践意义。
