To present statistics documenting the scope and the nature of child victimization, polyvictimization, and revictimization and to explore the relationship between victimization in childhood and later revictimization in adulthood.
The sample comprises 975 undergraduates in a cross-sectional, retrospective design. Childhood victimization and lifetime revictimization were assessed using the Traumatic Life Events Questionnaire.
26.59% of participants reported childhood interpersonal victimization and 16.80% reported an interpersonal victimization episode in adulthood. Polyvictimization was reported by 8.30%, whereas 7.50% of the sample suffered child victimization and adult revictimization. Multiple regression showed that child polyvictimization significantly predicted adult revictimization.
The results support the idea that polyvictimization in childhood exerts a cumulative effect on interpersonal victimization in adulthood. More importantly, polyvictimization is a key concept to understanding the risk of revictimization, even at low rates.
呈现记录儿童受害、多重受害和再受害的范围及性质的统计数据,并探讨童年期受害与成年期后期再受害之间的关系。
样本包括975名采用横断面回顾性设计的本科生。使用创伤性生活事件问卷评估童年期受害情况和终生再受害情况。
26.59%的参与者报告童年期人际受害,16.80%报告成年期人际受害事件。8.30%的人报告了多重受害情况,而7.50%的样本既遭受过儿童期受害又遭受过成年期再受害。多元回归显示,儿童多重受害显著预测成年期再受害。
研究结果支持童年期多重受害对成年期人际受害产生累积影响这一观点。更重要的是,多重受害是理解再受害风险的关键概念,即使发生率较低时也是如此。
