Berliner (2000) and David Finkelhor (1979) defined sexual abuse as involving any sexual activity with a child where consent is not or cannot be given. Studies by Finkelhor (1979) show that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys are victims of child sexual abuse. Research shows that child sexual abuse victims exhibit more psychological symptoms and more characterological self-blame that results in the use of more avoidant coping strategies (Arata,1999). Archival data was used from a large online survey about sexual sexschemas and sexual functioning in women (Hive, 2009). The participants were 200 adult women with a history of childhood sexual abuse and 156 adult women with no history of childhood sexual abuse. The ages of the participants ranged from 18 years old to 69 years old. The participants were from various ethnic backgrounds and sexual orientations. The participants completed the following: demographic questionnaire, childhood sexual abuse assessment, depression scale, anxiety scale, Sexual Self-Schema Scale (SSSS), and Psychological Strength Scale (PSS). For women who experienced CSA the scores from the depression scale, anxiety scale, and PSS were subjected to a Pearson\u2019s correlations. It was hypothesized that there would be significant negative correlations between depression and anxiety and psychological strengths women who experienced CSA. This hypothesis was not supported. The correlations between depression and anxiety and psychological strength were significantly positive. A series of post hoc analyses were conducted to try and clarify these results. The correlational analyses were conducted on the group of women who did not experience CSA and a comparison was made between CSA and non-CSA women. The analyses showed that the CSA women and non-CSA women did not differ on the anxiety scale scores, but CSA women did show significantly higher levels of depression and a lower level of psychological strength than non-CSA women. The results suggest that CSA women have lower levels of psychological strengths than non-CSA women. Furthermore, the maintenance of CSA women\u2019s psychological strength maybe more psychologically costly. Several limitations with the research were also discussed." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Classification" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RC569.5.A28W55 2018" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publication Date" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "2018" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Genre" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Academic theses" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Holding Location" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University Archives and Special Collections" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Resource Identifier" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "RC569.5.A28W55 2018_WilliamsKatina" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Language" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "English" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Permanent Link" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "http://sobekcmsrv.barrynet.barry.edu/AA00001600/00001" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Creator" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Williams, Katina" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Note" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Thesis (M.S.)--Barry University, 2018.", "Includes bibliographical references (leaves 28-31)." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Physical Description" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "35 leaves ; 28 cm" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Publisher" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Barry University" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Place of Publication" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Miami, Fla." ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Type" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Book" ] } }, { "label": { "en": [ "Rights Management" ] }, "value": { "none": [ "Copyright Katina Williams.
