Young adults (aged 18-24) who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) report high rates of sexual assault (SA) victimization, yet much of the research on adverse outcomes resulting from SA has overlooked LGBQ+ victims. A probability-based sample of 901 adults was recruited to examine the negative academic and career outcomes attributed to SA during early adulthood among LGBQ+ cisgender women. LGBQ+ women were more likely to report negative impacts on academic and career goals (e.g., changed course of study) and transitions (e.g., switched jobs) following SA victimization than heterosexual women. Implications for research and LGBQ+ services are discussed.
自认为是女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋或酷儿(LGBQ+)的年轻成年人(18至24岁)报告称遭受性侵犯(SA)的比例很高,但关于SA导致的不良后果的许多研究都忽视了LGBQ+受害者。招募了一个基于概率的901名成年人样本,以研究LGBQ+顺性别女性成年早期SA导致的负面学业和职业后果。与异性恋女性相比,LGBQ+女性在遭受SA后更有可能报告对学业和职业目标(如改变学习课程)以及过渡(如换工作)产生负面影响。文中讨论了对研究和LGBQ+服务的启示。
