| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the nature of the relationship between childhood sexual abuse (CSA), adult attachment style as measured by the Relationship Questionnaire (RQ; Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991), and current psychological functioning as measured by the Trauma Symptom Inventory (TSI; Briere, 1991) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Inventory (Rosenberg, 1965). Participants were 333 female university students, including 85 women with a history of CSA. Results indicated that CSA predicted both current psychological functioning and adult attachment style. In addition, adult attachment style predicted current psychological functioning. A mediational model, in which attachment is considered a mediator between CSA and current psychological functioning was suggested. Results are discussed in terms of implications for conducting therapy with CSA survivors. | en |
