Abstract
Objective: The current study examined group differences in peritraumatic tonic immobility (TI) and posttraumatic symptoms among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) females and their straight, cisgender counterparts.
Method: Adult female sexual assault (SA) survivors (N = 86; 41.9% LGBTQ+) completed a questionnaire battery assessing demographics, TI experience, posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, dissociative symptoms, and posttraumatic cognitions. Chi-square analyses, analyses of variance, and hierarchical linear regressions were used to characterize the associations among these variables.
Results: Individuals identifying as LGBTQ+ endorsed higher rates and severity of TI as well as greater posttraumatic stress symptoms compared to their straight, cisgender counterparts. Both LGBTQ+ status and TI experience predicted greater posttraumatic stress symptoms.
Conclusions: Findings suggest that LGBTQ+ individuals who endorse TI during SA experience greater posttraumatic symptoms than their non-LGBTQ+ and non-TI counterparts. These findings have important implications for future research and treatment of female SA survivors. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
研究目的本研究探讨了女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和同性恋者（LGBTQ+）与直男、顺性别者在创伤周围强直性不运动（TI）和创伤后症状方面的群体差异：成年女性性侵犯（SA）幸存者（N = 86；41.9%为 LGBTQ+）填写了一份问卷，对其人口统计学特征、性侵犯经历、创伤后应激障碍症状、分离症状和创伤后认知进行了评估。研究人员使用了卡方分析、方差分析和分层线性回归来描述这些变量之间的关联：结果：与异性恋、同性别的人相比，被认定为 LGBTQ+ 的人有更高的创伤后应激障碍发生率和严重程度，以及更严重的创伤后应激症状。LGBTQ+身份和创伤后应激症状都预示着更严重的创伤后应激症状：研究结果表明，在 SA 期间认可 TI 的 LGBTQ+ 与非 LGBTQ+ 和非 TI 人相比，会出现更严重的创伤后症状。这些发现对未来研究和治疗女性 SA 幸存者具有重要意义。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
