A review of the literature on sexual abuse suggests that many women are repeatedly victimized. To examine the relationship between child and adult sexual victimization, 282 female undergraduates completed questionnaires describing child and adult incidents of sexual abuse. Personality measures (e.g., assertiveness, dependency, self-esteem, and attributional style) and situational variables (family background, and dating and sexual history) were measured to assess their relationship to victimization. Child victimization did not directly predict adult victimization; however, the number of both child and adult victimizations was related to the number of adult consensual sexual partners. A pattern of repeated adult victimization was identified for a group of victims of adult sexual abuse; however, such multiple victimization was not associated with any of the predicted personality variables. Further investigation of women who have been victimized as children and as adults and of adults who present with repeated victimization was identified as a necessary area for further research.
一项关于性虐待的文献综述表明，许多女性多次成为受害者。为了研究儿童期和成年期性侵害之间的关系，282名本科女生完成了描述儿童期和成年期性虐待事件的问卷。测量了人格指标（如自信、依赖、自尊和归因方式）和情境变量（家庭背景、约会和性史），以评估它们与受害情况的关系。儿童期受侵害并不能直接预测成年期受侵害；然而，儿童期和成年期受侵害的次数都与成年期自愿性伴侣的数量有关。为成年期性虐待受害者群体确定了一种反复成年期受侵害的模式；然而，这种多重受害情况与任何预测的人格变量均无关联。进一步研究曾在儿童期和成年期受侵害的女性以及存在反复受侵害情况的成年男性，被确定为一个必要的进一步研究领域。
