This paper reports on meta-analyses of the relations of child sexual abuse to adult psychological adjustment. Results indicated statistically significant relationships between the experience of child sexual abuse and subsequent difficulties in psychological adjustment as measured by psychological symptomatology, depression, and self-esteem. Significant heterogeneity occurred across studies using a variety of different subject populations, research designs, and assessment methods. Some explanation of the effect size variance was partially accounted for by certain identified study characteristics, most notable in regard to sample source used in the included studies. Student samples consistently generated smaller, more homogeneous effect size estimates than did community or clinical samples. This indicates that abused subjects drawn from student samples may experience fewer impairments in psychological adjustment, when compared to abused subjects drawn from community or clinical samples. The implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.
本文报道了关于儿童性虐待与成人心理调适关系的荟萃分析。结果表明，以心理症状、抑郁和自尊来衡量，儿童性虐待经历与随后心理调适方面的困难之间存在统计学上的显著关系。在使用各种不同研究对象群体、研究设计和评估方法的研究中，出现了显著的异质性。效应量差异的一些解释部分可归因于某些已确定的研究特征，其中最显著的是纳入研究中所使用的样本来源。与社区或临床样本相比，学生样本始终产生更小、更具同质性的效应量估计值。这表明，与从社区或临床样本中抽取的受虐对象相比，从学生样本中抽取的受虐对象在心理调适方面可能经历更少的损害。本文讨论了这些发现的意义以及对未来研究的建议。
