Evidence supports that the majority of young women who experience sexual victimization that meets the legal definition of rape do not label their experiences as rape--this has been termed unacknowledged rape. In a sample of 77 young adult women, the odds of unacknowledged rape significantly increased as a function of less severe child sexual abuse histories and greater levels of dysfunctional personality traits. Potential explanations for these findings as well as clinical implications are discussed. Because of the potential psychological and societal consequences of unacknowledged rape, it is vital that researchers continue to examine this phenomenon.
有证据表明，大多数遭受符合法定强奸罪定义的性侵害的年轻女性并不将自己的经历视为强奸——这被称为未被承认的强奸。在一项针对77名年轻成年女性的样本研究中，未被承认的强奸几率随着儿童期性虐待史不那么严重以及功能失调的人格特质水平较高而显著增加。文中讨论了这些研究结果的潜在解释以及临床意义。由于未被承认的强奸可能带来心理和社会后果，研究人员继续研究这一现象至关重要。
