|a Over the past two decades, research has focused on the long-term effects of the impact of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) on adult sexual functioning. Past research has provided extensive evidence of the sexual difficulties experienced by women with a history of CSA; however, studies have yielded inconsistent results (Noll et al., 2003). It is proposed that sexual self-schemas may account for this variation. Sexual self-schemas are cognitive generalizations of the self-regarding sexuality. These generalizations include positive and negative dimensions that influence sexual and romantic affect and behavior patterns. Sexual self-schemas guide the intrapersonal and interpersonal processes that influence perceptual and behavioral responses within sexual situations. This study investigated the effect of CSA on sexual self-schemas, and sexual functioning in women. Participants were 325 women with (n = 182) and without (n = 143) a history of CSA. They completed the Sexual Self-Schema Scale (SSSS), and the Hive Sexual Dysfunction Inventory (HSDI). A 2 X 4 between-subjects analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that women in the CSA group reported significantly higher levels of sexual dysfunction than women in the non-CSA group. Post-hoc analyses showed that women with a negative sexual schema type, irrespective of abuse history, reported significantly higher levels of sexual dysfunction than women with a positive, aschematic or co-schematic type. The follow up analysis of simple main effects revealed that women with a negative sexual schema type with a history of CSA reported the highest level of sexual dysfunction than all other schema types. These results imply that women with negative sexual schema types experience higher levels of sexual dysfunctions than all other schema types. |
