This study aimed to examine the pathways from child sexual abuse to sexual assault victimization and perpetration in adolescence and early adulthood, considering risky sexual behavior and lowered sexual self-esteem as mediator variables. In a two-wave longitudinal study with 2251 college students in Germany, male and female participants provided reports of sexual aggression victimization and perpetration since age 14 (T1) and again a year later (T2), covering the last 12 months. In addition, child sexual abuse (CSA; before the age of 14), risky sexual behavior, and sexual self-esteem were assessed at T1, and risky sexual behavior and sexual-self-esteem were assessed again at T2. Experience of CSA was significantly associated with greater likelihood of sexual aggression victimization and perpetration, lower sexual self-esteem, and more risky sexual behavior in both gender groups at T1 and was directly related to victimization at T2 among male participants. In both gender groups, CSA indirectly contributed to a higher probability of sexual victimization at T2 via its impact on victimization T1. In males, the indirect path from CSA to T2 perpetration via T1 perpetration was also significant. Through its negative impact on sexual self-esteem, CSA indirectly increased the probability of sexual victimization among women and the probability of sexual aggression perpetration among men. Risky sexual behavior mediated the pathway from CSA to sexual victimization at T2 for men and women and the pathway from CSA to sexual aggression perpetration for women. The findings contribute to the understanding of gendered effects of CSA on revictimization and the victim-to-perpetrator cycle.
本研究旨在探讨儿童性虐待与青少年和成年早期性侵犯受害和施害之间的途径,同时考虑了风险性行为和降低的性自尊作为中介变量。在一项涉及德国 2251 名大学生的两波纵向研究中,男性和女性参与者分别报告了自 14 岁(T1)以来的性侵犯受害和施害情况,并在一年后(T2)再次报告,涵盖了过去 12 个月的情况。此外,在 T1 时评估了儿童性虐待(CSA;14 岁之前)、风险性行为和性自尊,在 T2 时再次评估了风险性行为和性自尊。在两个性别群体中,CSA 与 T1 时更高的性侵犯受害和施害可能性、较低的性自尊和更多的风险性行为相关,并且与男性参与者 T2 时的受害直接相关。在两个性别群体中,CSA 通过对 T1 受害的影响间接导致 T2 时受害的可能性更高。在男性中,CSA 通过 T1 施害对 T2 施害的间接路径也是显著的。通过对性自尊的负面影响,CSA 间接增加了男性中性受害的可能性和女性中性侵犯施害的可能性。风险性行为在 CSA 与 T2 时的性受害之间以及 CSA 与 T2 时的性侵犯施害之间的途径中起中介作用。这些发现有助于理解 CSA 对再受害和受害者到施害者循环的性别效应。
