Abstract

Knowledge of the long-term consequences of child sexual abuse (CSA) is crucial to further develop preventive strategies and treatment programs. The aim of this study is to investigate attachment and mentalizing ability in people who have experienced CSA. Attachment style, measured with the Experiences in Close Relationships-Relationship Structures Questionnaire (ECR-RS), and mentalization, measured with the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (RFQ), were examined through a quantitative questionnaire survey in a sample of 49 individuals who had experienced CSA, and a control group of 612 with no history of CSA. The CSA group was, to a greater extent, identified with insecure attachment style. In addition, participants with insecure attachment were more likely to use hypomentalizing compared to individuals identified with a secure attachment. No significant association was found between attachment style and the relationship between the victim and the offender or the length of traumatic episodes.

性虐待幸存者的依恋和心理:问卷调查。
了解儿童性虐待(CSA)的长期后果对于进一步制定预防策略和治疗计划至关重要。本研究旨在调查经历过 CSA 的人的依恋和心理化能力。通过定量问卷调查的方式,对 49 名经历过 CSA 的人和 612 名无 CSA 史的对照组进行了依恋风格(通过亲密关系经历-关系结构问卷(ECR-RS)进行测量)和心智化(通过反思功能问卷(RFQ)进行测量)的研究。CSA组在更大程度上被认定为不安全依恋风格。此外,与被认定为安全型依恋的人相比,不安全型依恋的参与者更有可能使用低意念化。在依恋风格与受害者和犯罪者之间的关系或创伤发作的时间长短之间没有发现明显的关联。
