Participants included 147 adult, predominantly African-American (88%) women, 59% of whom had a documented history of child sexual abuse. Participants were interviewed in adulthood about adolescent and adult sexual victimization, as well as other background and lifestyle characteristics. Structural equation modeling indicated that the relationship between child and adolescent sexual victimization was indirect, mediated by adolescent risk taking behavior. The relationship between adolescent and adult sexual victimization was also indirect, mediated by risky sexual behavior. The residual effects of early childhood family environment and childhood physical abuse also indirectly predicted sexual revictimization. Results provide empirical support for the general supposition that the relationship between child and adult sexual victimization is complex and that many intermediary factors differentially affect risk for a heightened vulnerability to sexual revictimization. 2008-08-22 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1210636112 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1210636112 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
