Rates of child and adult sexual assault (SA) among women are staggering and place women at risk for intra- and interpersonal difficulties. However, the independent contributions of child and adult SA or the mechanisms of this risk are unknown. This study's goal was to examine the indirect effects of child and adult SA on women's own and partner's relationship functioning through their impact on women's mental health, emotional intimacy, and sexual intimacy. Results revealed that the association of women's child SA with both her own and her partner's relationship satisfaction operated through emotional intimacy. Considerations for the study of women with a history of SA in the context of couple functioning are discussed.
女性中儿童期和成年期遭受性侵犯(SA)的比例惊人,使女性面临内部和人际方面的困难风险。然而,儿童期和成年期性侵犯的独立影响或这种风险的机制尚不清楚。本研究的目的是通过儿童期和成年期性侵犯对女性心理健康、情感亲密和性亲密的影响,来检验其对女性自身及其伴侣关系功能的间接影响。结果显示,女性儿童期性侵犯与其自身及伴侣关系满意度之间的关联是通过情感亲密起作用的。本文还讨论了在伴侣关系功能背景下对有性侵犯史女性进行研究的相关考量。
