Abstract Details

2023, Master of Arts, Miami University, Psychology.
While child sexual abuse (CSA) has been widely studied in its relation to increased risk for adult sexual victimization, research now suggests a similar link between child psychological maltreatment (CPM) and adult sexual victimization. Of particular interest is the association between CPM and intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV), and the way in which early maladaptive schemas (EMS) related to CPM can be linked to interpersonal behaviors that then increase vulnerability to later victimization. The current study examined how specific EMSs and maladaptive interpersonal behaviors contribute to risk for later IPSV. We hypothesized that CPM would indirectly predict IPSV serially via the shame schema and non-assertive behavior. Additionally, we hypothesized that CPM would indirectly predict IPSV serially via the subjugation schema and overly accommodating behavior. Hypotheses were tested with data collected from 547 college age women. Serial mediation analyses showed that CPM significantly predicted IPSV risk via the shame schema, and separately via the subjugation schema and overly accommodating behavior. A post-hoc serial mediation analysis showed that CPM significantly predicted IPSV via the shame schema, the subjugation schema, and overly accommodating behavior. These findings suggest that maladaptive interpersonal schemas and behaviors play a role in the relation between CPM and IPSV.
