Many women who disclose a rape encounter victim-blaming responses, which are associated with negative outcomes. The present study examined rape-related shame and experiential avoidance as mediators of the relation between victim-blaming responses to rape disclosure and depression among 103 rape survivors drawn from a community sample. Results revealed that victim-blaming responses were positively associated with depressive symptoms through rape-related shame and experiential avoidance, and shame was indirectly related to depression via avoidance. Findings suggest clinical interventions should focus on rape-related shame and experiential avoidance in targeting depression among rape survivors, and future research should continue to examine how victim-blaming responses to rape disclosure may be related to these factors.
许多披露遭受强奸经历的女性会遭遇指责受害者的回应,而这些回应与负面后果相关。本研究以从社区样本中抽取的103名强奸幸存者为对象,考察了与强奸相关的羞耻感和经验性回避在指责受害者对强奸披露的回应与抑郁之间的关系中所起的中介作用。结果显示,指责受害者的回应通过与强奸相关的羞耻感和经验性回避与抑郁症状呈正相关,且羞耻感通过回避与抑郁间接相关。研究结果表明,临床干预应聚焦于与强奸相关的羞耻感和经验性回避,以针对强奸幸存者的抑郁问题,未来的研究应继续考察指责受害者对强奸披露的回应可能如何与这些因素相关。
