To inform support approaches following sexual assault, we examined how sexual assault labeling and PTSS were related over time. We also examined the contextual factor of pre-assault trust in the perpetrator on these relations. Participants were 609 college student sexual assault survivors (aged 19 to 25) who completed an initial online survey and were invited to a follow-up survey 1 to 2 months later. When controlling for individual and assault-specific covariates, results of a cross-lagged panel model indicated that greater sexual assault labeling was associated with subsequent elevations in PTSS, and heightened PTSS was associated with subsequent increases in sexual assault labeling. Moreover, pre-assault trust in the perpetrator was a significant moderator. Specifically, participants who reported greater (vs. weaker) pre-assault trust demonstrated more stability in labeling between timepoints, stronger associations between labeling and later PTSS, and weaker relations between PTSS and later labeling. Findings supported a prospective, bidirectional relation between sexual assault labeling and PTSS and underscored the importance of pre-assault trust in the perpetrator, which may make such labeling uniquely distressing. Informal and formal support providers should be prepared for the distress that may be associated with using a sexual assault label, particularly when survivors trusted the perpetrator before the assault.","PeriodicalId":47476,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Trauma & Dissociation","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143765411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to develop a standardized self-report instrument designed to measure an individual's current level of internal moderation. An initial version of the Internal Moderation Questionnaire (IMQ), the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-33) were applied to 329 college students. A test-retest evaluation was conducted on a separate group of 50 college students with two administrations in a 7-day interval. Reliability and validity analyses yielded a 24-item final version of the questionnaire with excellent internal consistency. The IMQ demonstrated strong to moderate correlations with DES and DERS total scores, while its association with CTQ-33 total scores was rather minimal. In principal components analysis, a three-factor solution yielded the \"dual,\" \"on,\" and \"off\" modes of internal moderation. Higher scores on these modes, and in particular the dual mode score, which represented the largest proportion of the total variance, and the sum of the on and off scores were associated with higher disturbance overall, while the difference between them was not. This preliminary study supported the validity and reliability of the IMQ in a self-referred non-clinical sample of young adults. Further studies on larger, diverse, and clinical samples should identify its significance in detection of prodromal risk syndromes, assessment of treatment response, forensic evaluations, prediction of self-destruction and impulsivity, and decision-making in uncertain conditions.","PeriodicalId":47476,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Trauma & Dissociation","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a randomized controlled trial that took part between 2014 and 2016 in Germany, N = 193 cisgender women with PTSD after child abuse (mean age = 36.3 years) completed the Multidimensional Sexuality Questionnaire, assessing psychological dimensions of sexuality and the Resources in Sexuality and Partnership, assessing relationship dimensions of sexuality. PTSD was assessed via Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5. Assessments took part in the beginning and after Dialectical Behavior Therapy for PTSD or Cognitive Processing Therapy. Using hierarchical linear modeling, changes in psychological and relationship dimensions of sexuality from beginning to post treatment were assessed, also the association between PTSD symptom reduction and reduction in psychological and relationship dimensions. From beginning to post treatment, relationship dimensions of sexuality improved (p < .01; Cohen's d = .36). PTSD symptom reduction moderated this effect. The psychological dimension sexual satisfaction increased (p < .05; Cohen's d = .32), sexual anxiety (p < .001; Cohen's d = ‒.51) and sexual depression (p < .001; Cohen's d = ‒.44) decreased. PTSD symptom reduction moderated these effects. Sexual esteem and sexual motivation did not change after therapy. Our results suggest that relationship dimensions and some psychological dimensions of sexuality can improve after trauma focused therapy. Other psychological dimensions like sexual esteem might need specific therapeutic interventions to improve.","PeriodicalId":47476,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Trauma & Dissociation","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research suggests that one factor associated with schizoid pathology is childhood maltreatment, although it is unclear which specific experiences of childhood maltreatment may be most impactful. In this study, we examined associations between different experiences of childhood maltreatment (e.g. physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, and physical and emotional neglect) and schizoid pathology in a sample of men and women recruited online (N = 327) using a Bayesian approach to structural equation modeling. Results suggest that emotional neglect had the strongest association with schizoid pathology over and above other forms of maltreatment and other traumatic life events. Findings further indicate that emotional and physical neglect as well as other negative life events are associated with schizoid pathology in men but only emotional abuse is associated with schizoid pathology for women. These findings provide support for the influence of childhood maltreatment on schizoid pathology and have implications for future research and clinical intervention.","PeriodicalId":47476,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Trauma & Dissociation","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143677325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given this dependence, Institutional Betrayal (IB) may be a useful framework to characterize caregivers' experiences with child protection. However, research has yet to examine IB in the child protection system. The current study sought to understand whether caregiver report experiences that are consistent with key characteristics of IB identified in other systems, such as sexual assault investigations. Caregivers of children involved in child maltreatment investigations (n = 32) were asked open-ended questions. Through content analysis, we identified examples and counterexamples of four key characteristics of IB: exclusion, discrimination, invalidation, and inaction. Caregivers described exclusion from the process (e.g. through uncertainty about their role), discrimination (e.g. through perceptions that socioeconomic factors influenced investigation outcomes), invalidation (e.g. through victim-blaming), and inaction on the part of system personnel (e.g. through lack of follow-through on promised steps). Participants also provided counterexamples to each characteristic. All participants highlighted the importance of communication in experiences of IB. Utilizing caregiver feedback to address IB is crucial for enhancing caregiver engagement and supporting the child protection system's goals of promoting child and family well-being.","PeriodicalId":47476,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Trauma & Dissociation","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143664840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 489 Italian young adults (Mage = 23.63, SDage = 3.53, 68.7% female) through an online survey. Findings indicated positive associations between childhood trauma and emotion dysregulation, suppression, need frustration, and dissociation. In contrast, negative associations were found with emotion integration, need satisfaction, life satisfaction, and attitude toward seeking psychological help. Structural equation modeling analysis supported the hypothesized indirect associations, suggesting that childhood trauma is indirectly associated with 1) higher levels of dissociation through increased emotion dysregulation, emotion suppression, and need frustration; 2) lower life satisfaction via higher emotion dysregulation and need frustration, as well as diminished need satisfaction and emotion integration; and 3) less positive attitude toward seeking psychological help by elevated emotion suppression and reduced emotion integration.
