Psychology Prior research has examined how posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is impacted by different rape types, defined by aspects of the assault such as the method of coercion used. Previous research utilizing methodology that classifies rape experiences as either forcible or substance-involved has yielded mixed findings regarding differences between these two rape types in relation to PTSD. More recent evidence supports the idea that there may be at least two additional rape types warranting empirical investigation, including combined rapes in which force and substance-involvement are present in the same incident, and incapacitated rapes in which victims are intoxicated to the point of unconsciousness during the assault. The current study utilized a sample of 161 community emerging adult women to examine the prevalence and relationship to PTSD symptom severity and assault correlates of four different rape types, based on method of coercion: forcible-only, impaired, combined, and incapacitated. Results indicated that combined and incapacitated rapes are experienced by a significant number of rape victims, and that combined rapes are associated with significantly more severe PTSD symptoms than forcible-only and impaired rapes. Furthermore, differences among the groups were found for peritraumatic fear and injury, and acknowledgment. 2016-04-26 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1461663110 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1461663110 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
