The current study assessed if childhood sexual abuse (CSA) can be meaningfully classified into classes, based on the assumption that abuse by a close family member differs in important ways from other abuse, and whether abuse classes were differentially associated with couple relationship problems. The childhood experiences and adult relationships of 1335 Australian women (18-41 years) were assessed. Latent class analysis identified three classes of CSA: that perpetrated by a family member, friend, or stranger, which differed markedly on most aspects of the abuse. Family abuse was associated with the highest risk for adult relationship problems, with other classes of CSA having a significant but weaker association with adult relationship problems. CSA is heterogeneous with respect the long-term consequences for adult relationship functioning.
本研究基于近亲家庭成员实施的虐待在重要方面与其他虐待不同这一假设，评估了儿童期性虐待（CSA）是否能够有意义地分类，以及虐待类别是否与夫妻关系问题存在差异关联。对1335名澳大利亚女性（18 - 41岁）的童年经历和成年后的人际关系进行了评估。潜在类别分析确定了三类CSA：由家庭成员、朋友或陌生人实施的虐待，这三类在虐待的大多数方面存在显著差异。家庭虐待与成年关系问题的风险最高相关，其他类别的CSA与成年关系问题有显著但较弱的关联。就成年关系功能的长期后果而言，CSA是异质性的。
