Childhood Sexual Abuse, Adolescent-Adult Sexual Assault, and Revictimization
Women with a history of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and/or adolescent-adult sexual assault (ASA) can have different trauma-related symptom presentations in early adulthood, but the role of coping resources in mitigating victimization-related distress is understudied. Thus, the present study examined women with sexual victimization histories by developmental period (CSA-only, ASA-only, or CSA + ASA) and the role that mindfulness and emotion regul…
Sexual Assault Labeling Over Time Among Gender and Sexual Identity Groups
Beyond Force, Incapacitation, or Verbal Coercion
To date, most sexual assault research has focused on specific perpetrator tactics, including verbal coercion, substance-related incapacitation, and force. Responding to recent calls to assess a broader range of nonconsensual sexual experiences, we examined the occurrence and outcomes of sexual assault without warning - when a perpetrator "just does" a behavior without giving a chance to say "no." Participants were 850 college students (Mage = 19.…
Associations Among Emotion Regulation, Covid Stress, Alcohol Use, and Intimate Partner Aggression Among College Students During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Sexual Decision Making When Intoxicated
Young adult women report high condom use intentions, but inconsistent condom use. Cognitive appraisals during sexual encounters are important determinants of condom use decisions, but a nuanced understanding of what cognitions emerge during women's "hot states" (e.g., sexual arousal, alcohol intoxication) remains lacking. To address this gap, we examined women's heat of the moment cognitions in their own words using mixed methods. Young adult wom…
An event-level evaluation of women’s self-medicated drinking
Alcohol interventions that provide adaptive regulatory strategies are needed for women who experience increased negative or positive affect, with a particular focus on self-medication for young women with more severe SA histories. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
Friends-Based Protective Strategies and Unwanted Sexual Experiences
Risk for unwanted sexual experiences can emerge in social contexts-the same contexts that early college women navigate with their friends. Though friends naturally engage in prevention strategies, less is known about how capable guardianship influences risk. Using multilevel structural equation modeling, the present study examined guardianship at the person- and situation-level. First year college women ( N = 132) completed eight weekends of dail…
Social Network Changes and Disclosure Responses After Sexual Assault
Social support after sexual assault is important for recovery, but violence and recovery may also challenge relationships. We examined functional and structural social support changes following sexual assault and their association with mental health. College women ( N =544) with and without a sexual assault history completed a cross-sectional survey assessing current and past egocentric social networks. Functional support (perceived global suppor…
Examination of Sex-Related Distress and Self-Medication Drinking Model in U.S. College Women
Adult sexual assault (ASA) in college remains a concern. Consequently, many college-aged women experience negative emotions surrounding sexual activity (sex-related distress). Consistent with self-medication theory, some drink to cope with sex-related distress, which may reduce distress, but lead to greater drinking quantity before sex and negative sexual consequences. How women with ASA histories navigate sexual situations and cope with sex-rela…
A formative evaluation of a web-based intervention for women with a sexual assault history and heavy alcohol use
Incorporating user feedback early in the intervention development process provides critical information for content and delivery modifications that may enhance the target population's engagement and satisfaction with the final product. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
The Role of Alcohol-Related Behavioral Risk in the Design of HIV Prevention Interventions in the Era of Antiretrovirals
A Prospective Study of Predictors and Consequences of Hooking Up for Sexual Minority Women
A Qualitative Study on Friends and the Social Context of Sexual Victimization
Sexual victimization (SV) risk can begin in social contexts, ones where friends are present, though it is unclear how friends might be integrated into SV prevention. Using focus groups, female college drinkers described (a) the role of friends in preventing SV, (b) the strategies friends use to reduce vulnerability, and (c) the barriers to implementation. Friends-based strategies (keeping tabs on one another, using signals to convey potential dan…
Reciprocal processes in trauma and coping
Our study sheds new light on how coping and stressful events may impact one another across time. Findings suggest that a focus on approach-based coping skills may be an important direction for prevention efforts. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
A mixed methods investigation of sexual victimisation and coping among sexual minority compared to heterosexual women
Sexual victimisation (SV) is pervasive in our society and is associated with a variety of negative outcomes. Sexual minority women (SMW) – particularly bisexuals – report higher rates of SV compared to heterosexual women, yet little is known about SMW’s post-SV outcomes. The present study sought to fill this gap using a mixed methods approach. A community sample of 246 women (88 lesbians, 84 bisexuals, 74 heterosexuals) completed questionnaires a…
Prospective Risk for Incapacitated Rape Among Sexual Minority Women
Sexual minority women (SMW), including lesbian and bisexual women, are at greater risk for heavy drinking and sexual victimization than heterosexual women. Risk factors for alcohol-related sexual victimization, such as incapacitated rape (IR), include frequent heavy drinking and hookups among heterosexual women, but it is less clear whether these risk factors extend to SMW. This current study was designed to address this gap. In a national sample…
Role of alcohol in college sexual victimization and postassault adaptation
For many young adults, the effects of college sexual victimization extend well beyond the college years. These findings add to our understanding of college sexual victimization experiences and the posttrauma adaptation process in young adults. (PsycINFO Database Record
College status, perceived drinking norms, and alcohol use among sexual minority women
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual young adults are at elevated risk for drinking compared to heterosexual young adults, and this discrepancy is particularly striking for sexual minority women (SMW). Perceived social norms are strong predictors of young adult alcohol use, especially among college students. The college environment is often one where increases in alcohol use are seen, but the impact of college status on SMW's drinking has been understudied…
Racial/ethnic differences in identity and mental health outcomes among young sexual minority women
Previous research suggests that sexual minorities are at greater risk for trauma exposure, mental health problems, and substance use. To date, few studies have examined racial/ethnic differences among sexual minorities in relation to health-related behaviors and outcomes. Furthermore, studies of racial/ethnic differences among young adult sexual minority women (SMW) are virtually nonexistent. The current study adds to the previous literature by e…
Coping as a mediator of internalized homophobia and psychological distress among young adult sexual minority women
Sexual minorities have higher rates of depression and anxiety than their heterosexual counterparts. This elevated risk of psychological distress has generally been hypothesized to be a result of the effects of discrimination including internalized negative beliefs about sexual minorities. However, little research has examined the role of various types of coping in mediating between internalized homophobia and mental health. We tested the direct r…
Use of Drinking Protective Behavioral Strategies and Sexual Perceptions and Behaviors in U.S. College Students
Alcohol use among college students is linked to an increased likelihood of engaging in risky sexual behaviors, including casual sex and unprotected sex. These behaviors increase college students' risks for negative social and health-related consequences. This study examined the relationship between drinking behaviors and protective behavioral strategies (PBS), expectancies and perceptions of sexual risk, and actual alcohol-related sexual behavior…
Posttraumatic cognitions, somatization, and PTSD severity among Asian American and White college women with sexual trauma histories
The need for trauma research with monoracial groups such as Asian Americans (AA) has recently been emphasized to better understand trauma experiences and inform interventions across populations. Given AA cultural contexts, posttraumatic cognitions and somatization may be key in understanding trauma experiences for this group. AA and White American (WA) trauma-exposed college women completed a survey on sexual trauma history, posttraumatic cogniti…
Underestimating Protection and Overestimating Risk
Individuals who engage in risky sexual behavior face the possibility of experiencing negative consequences. One tenet of social learning theory is that individuals engage in behaviors partly based on observations or perceptions of others' engagement in those behaviors. The present study aimed to document these norms-behavior relationships for both risky and protective sexual behaviors, including alcohol-related sexual behavior. Gender was also ex…
What Is Hooking Up? Examining Definitions of Hooking Up in Relation to Behavior and Normative Perceptions
Research has demonstrated ambiguity about the definition of hooking up among college students. The current research examined whether there were multiple definitions of hooking up among college students and how different definitions might be associated with the participant's own hooking up behavior and normative perceptions of peer hooking up behavior. A random sample (N = 1,468) of undergraduates (56.4% female) completed a Web-based survey compos…
