The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship of childhood sexual abuse with later psychological and sexual adjustment. Subjects were 383 female college students recruited from undergraduate psychology classes. Each was asked to complete a packet which contained a victimization questionnaire as well as measures of adjustment. A number of small, but significant, relationships were found between a history of childhood sexual abuse and measures of later psychological and sexual adjustment. In light of the relationship between family background and sexual abuse, however, it was questioned whether these associations were due to the sexual abuse per se, or were due to the confounding of sexual abuse with family background. Indeed, once parental supportiveness was controlled, very few significant relationships emerged. There was a trend, however, for the significant correlations to involve the sexual measures rather than the more general adjustment measures. The implications of the current findings, particularly for future research, were discussed.
本研究的目的是探讨儿童期性虐待与后期心理及性适应之间的关系。研究对象是从本科心理学课程中招募的383名女大学生。每位学生都被要求完成一套问卷，其中包括一份受害情况调查问卷以及一些适应情况的测量量表。研究发现，儿童期性虐待史与后期心理及性适应的测量量表之间存在一些虽小但显著的关系。然而，鉴于家庭背景与性虐待之间的关系，有人质疑这些关联是由于性虐待本身，还是由于性虐待与家庭背景的混淆所致。事实上，一旦控制了父母的支持程度，几乎没有显著关系出现。不过，存在一种趋势，即显著相关性更多地涉及性方面的测量量表，而非更一般的适应情况测量量表。讨论了当前研究结果的意义，特别是对未来研究的意义。
