The present study examined correlates of immediate (within 48 h) and delayed (after 48 h) sexual assault disclosure among a sample of 83 college women who experienced sexual victimization since age 14. The use of physical resistance and experiencing a "freeze response" was positively associated with delayed disclosure. Identifying the perpetrator as a friend/acquaintance, compared to a was a romantic partner, increased the likelihood of immediate disclosure. Other individual characteristics (i.e., assault characteristics, a history of childhood sexual abuse, attitudes towards seeking help, and sexual assertiveness) and microsystem-level characteristics (i.e., perceived social support) did not impact the timing of disclosure.
本研究调查了 83 名曾在 14 岁后遭受性侵犯的女大学生样本中,即时(48 小时内)和延迟(48 小时后)性侵犯披露的相关因素。身体抵抗和经历“冻结反应”与延迟披露呈正相关。与性伴侣相比,将施害者识别为朋友/熟人会增加即时披露的可能性。其他个体特征(即,攻击特征、童年性虐待史、寻求帮助的态度和性自信)和微系统特征(即,感知的社会支持)不会影响披露的时间。
