Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Trauma processing is central to healthy recovery, but few studies examine how youth process experiences of child sexual abuse (CSA). The current study builds on our prior work identifying individual differences in CSA processing strategies (i.e., Constructive, Absorbed, Avoidant) to examine whether abuse stigmatization, PTSD symptoms, and negative reactions from others experienced during the year after abuse discovery were associated with subsequent CSA processing strategies. METHOD: Participants included 160 ethnically diverse youth (8-15 years, 73% female) with confirmed cases of CSA. Predictors were measured at abuse discovery (T1) and 1 year later (T2). Individual differences in CSA processing strategies were assessed 6 years after discovery (T3) from participants' abuse narratives. RESULTS: = 0.636). CONCLUSIONS: Results further validate prior work identifying distinct CSA processing strategies and suggest the persistence of abuse-specific disruptions over the year after abuse discovery may be associated with subsequent problems processing CSA experiences.

  • AVHs related to shame and guilt can be considered in a continuum of clinical severity: the more inflexibility is adopted to try to deal with negative experiences the more AVHs will be severe as they will be probably related to unresolved materials and ruminative thoughts.

    “Within this perspective AVHs related to shame and guilt can be considered in a continuum of clinical severity: the more inflexibility is adopted to try to deal with negative experiences the more AVHs will be severe as they will be probably related to unresolved materials and ruminative thoughts [37].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
