A growing literature links social reactions to disclosures of intimate violence to posttraumatic outcomes. The Social Reactions Questionnaire (SRQ), a widely used measure developed to assess social reactions, asks about reactions received from people generally. The ability to examine the impact of social reactions from specific groups of people-such as criminal justice personnel versus community-based providers-has become increasingly more important from both research and practice perspectives. For example, as sexual assault responses nationally have relied on community-coordinated models that involve both criminal justice and community-based systems, tools are lacking to systematically assess the impact of social reactions from criminal justice personnel and community-based providers on survivors. Using the SRQ, the current study asked women to report on reactions received from criminal justice personnel, community-based providers, and informal supports. We recruited a diverse community sample of women ( = 228, ages 18-63, 19% lesbian/bisexual, 44% ethnic minority) who experienced a sexual assault in the previous year and disclosed to the criminal justice system and/or a community-based provider. Multilevel analyses revealed considerable variability in the social reactions reported by women across criminal justice personnel, community-based providers, and informal supports. Analyses supported a seven-factor structure for the SRQ when the measure is yoked to particular experiences of disclosure, in this case to criminal justice personnel, community-based providers, or informal supports. The utility of this modified administration and scoring of the SRQ and the importance of considering reactions across different groups are described.
越来越多的文献将亲密暴力披露后产生的社会反应与创伤后结果联系起来。社会反应问卷（SRQ）是一种广泛使用的评估社会反应的工具，它询问了人们普遍收到的反应。从研究和实践的角度来看，能够检查来自特定群体的社会反应的影响变得越来越重要，例如刑事司法人员与社区为基础的提供者相比。例如，由于全国范围内的性侵犯反应依赖于涉及刑事司法和社区为基础的系统的社区协调模式，因此缺乏工具来系统地评估刑事司法人员和社区为基础的提供者的社会反应对幸存者的影响。本研究使用 SRQ 要求女性报告从刑事司法人员、社区为基础的提供者和非正式支持中收到的反应。我们招募了一个多样化的社区样本的女性（n=228，年龄 18-63 岁，19%为女同性恋/双性恋，44%为少数民族），她们在过去一年中经历过性侵犯，并向刑事司法系统和/或社区为基础的提供者披露。多层次分析显示，女性在刑事司法人员、社区为基础的提供者和非正式支持方面报告的社会反应存在相当大的差异。分析支持了当测量与特定的披露经历（在这种情况下是与刑事司法人员、社区为基础的提供者或非正式支持）相结合时，SRQ 的七因素结构。描述了这种修改后的 SRQ 的管理和评分的效用以及考虑不同群体的反应的重要性。
