Additionally, sexual assault history was associated with political stress via maladaptive coping, but not adaptive coping. The findings suggest that the consequences of sexual assault extend beyond the traditional diagnostic framework to include other outcomes, such as perceived political stress.

Understanding the processes of trauma recovery by identifying strategies that helped survivors in their journey is essential for clinicians to provide proper care to clients reporting similar traumatic experiences. In this pilot study, we explored the process of healing from sexual trauma by conducting two rounds of semi-structured in-depth interviews with six survivors from disability, gender, sexuality, and racially minoritized communities, offering insights into transferable healing strategies to support both survivors and those providing care. The transcribed data were coded and analyzed using NVivo to identify categories and subcategories informing the process of healing sexual trauma. Results showed that survivors' journey of healing was influenced by survivors' experiences of navigating sociocultural contexts and socializations, disclosure, trauma responses, and moments of relief. The processes that connected social-contextual factors and power and privilege with survivors' healing responses contributing to moments of relief were identified as notable factors that provided a positive shift in the participants' recovery journey. Due to the small sample size, the results of this study limit transferability of participants' experiences; however, they can be used as an initial finding for other large‑scale research aimed at exploring experiences of healing from sexual trauma.

Bisexual+ identity was not associated with past‑year binge drinking frequency, and there was no difference between bisexual+ and heterosexual women experiencing sexual victimization in the past year. We also explored whether there was a relationship between bisexual identity and past‑year sexual victimization, moderated by past‑year binge drinking. There was a significant interaction between past‑year sexual victimization and past‑year binge drinking frequency. Decomposing the interaction, bisexual+ women were more likely to report past‑year sexual victimization compared to heterosexual women at all levels of binge drinking frequency. These data provide insight into the relationship between sexual victimization and binge drinking frequency for bisexual+ women.

Despite heightened awareness, professionals working with children and adolescents, particularly within religious settings, often hold misconceptions that hinder effective prevention and intervention. This study aimed to assess Spanish pastoral agents' knowledge of CSA and identify subgroup differences (e.g. by gender or age group). A total of 403 individuals (72.8% women, 27.2% men; age range 16-80, <i>M</i> = 44.6 years, <i>SD</i> = 17.3) responded to ten statements evaluating common myths and factual misconceptions about CSA. Results indicated that pastoral agents generally demonstrated accurate knowledge, though significant gaps remained, especially regarding prevalence. Notably, misconceptions such as \"CSA is more frequent in low socioeconomic status families\" and \"the perpetrator is always a stranger\" revealed marked gender-based differences. In addition, agents working primarily with younger children showed a higher level of belief in CSA myths compared to those working with adolescents. These findings underscore critical areas for targeted educational interventions. Training should address overlooked dimensions, particularly prevalence data and socioeconomic stereotypes, and be tailored to specific subgroups. Incorporating current empirical evidence and highlighting contextual risk factors may enhance pastoral agents' capacity to recognize, prevent, and respond effectively to CSA within their communities. By clarifying misunderstandings and strengthening professional preparedness, tailored programs can help bridge existing knowledge gaps and foster safer, more informed environments for vulnerable youth.</p>","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148680428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored attachment security as a moderator in the association between executive functions and behavior problems in school-aged, sexually abused children in Quebec, Canada. The sample included 212 children aged six to twelve. Teachers completed questionnaires on behavior problems, and children completed tasks measuring inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility, along with an attachment security questionnaire. Results indicated that the effect of cognitive flexibility was specific only in children with high attachment security, showing that higher cognitive flexibility was associated with fewer internalizing behavior problems. For inhibitory control, we found an inverse effect depending on children's level of attachment security: among children with high attachment security, higher inhibitory control was associated with fewer internalizing behavior problems, whereas among children with low attachment security, higher inhibitory control was associated with more internalizing behavior problems. No significant results were found for externalizing behaviors. These findings suggest that the association between executive function and adaptive functioning may depend on attachment security. It may be that less securely attached children display more internalizing behavior problems due to over-control, while more securely attached children with more cognitive flexibility may better manage environmental demands, resulting in fewer internalizing behavior problems. Interventions focused on enhancing children's attachment security after child sexual abuse may thus support adaptive functioning.</p>","PeriodicalId":47645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Sexual Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148563471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
