An experience of child sexual abuse (CSA) substantially increases women's risk of adult sexual assault (ASA), but the mechanisms underlying this relationship are unclear. Previous research often has not examined the full range of ASA experiences or included the influence of ethnicity, sexual behavior, and sexual attitudes on CSA and severity of ASA. The current study utilized path analysis to explore the relationships among ethnicity, sexual attitudes, number of lifetime sexual partners, CSA, and severity of ASA in emerging adult women. Results indicated a significant relationship between CSA and more severe ASA that was partially explained by having more lifetime sexual partners. Additionally, European American women, relative to Hispanic women, reported more severe victimization, which was fully explained by more positive attitudes toward casual sex and having more lifetime sexual partners. These results have implications in the design and implementation of universal and selective prevention programs aimed at reducing ASA and revictimization among emerging adult women.
儿童性虐待（CSA）经历会大幅增加女性遭受成人性侵犯（ASA）的风险，但这种关系背后的机制尚不清楚。以往的研究往往没有考察所有类型的ASA经历，也没有纳入种族、性行为以及性态度对CSA和ASA严重程度的影响。当前的研究运用路径分析来探究成年早期女性的种族、性态度、终身性伴侣数量、CSA以及ASA严重程度之间的关系。结果表明，CSA与更严重的ASA之间存在显著关系，而终身性伴侣数量更多在一定程度上解释了这种关系。此外，与西班牙裔女性相比，欧美女性报告的受害情况更严重，对随意性行为持更积极态度以及终身性伴侣数量更多完全解释了这一现象。这些结果对于旨在减少成年早期女性中ASA及再次受害情况的通用和选择性预防项目的设计与实施具有启示意义。
