Experience of Sexual Violence Among Women of Mexican Heritage Raised in the United States
Sexual violence against women is a significant public health crisis that is understudied among Mexican American communities. Yet, there has been little attention directed to sociocultural factors that shape conceptualizations of and responses to sexual violence among Mexican American women. Guided by an integrative contextual framework, this qualitative study aimed to expand knowledge of how second generation Mexican American women conceptualize, experience, and respond to sexual violence. Semistructured interviews focused on conceptualizations of sexual violence, socialization concerning gender, sex, and sexual violence, experiences, and impact of sexual violence, coping, and help-seeking were conducted with 16 women between 20 and 38 years of age (M = 27.13). The interview data, analyzed using qualitative conventional content analysis, revealed four broad domains: (a) implicit and explicit messages about sexuality and sexual violence, (b) psychological consequences of sexual violence, (c) barriers to disclosing violence and seeking help, and (d) sources of resilience and healing. Findings indicated that conceptualizations of sexual violence and coping were influenced by complex interactions among several sociocultural contexts, including families, religious and ethnic communities, and the mainstream U.S. context.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology publishes papers that focus on the interrelationships between culture and psychological processes. Submitted manuscripts may report results from either cross-cultural comparative research or results from other types of research concerning the ways in which culture (and related concepts such as ethnicity) affect the thinking and behavior of individuals as well as how individual thought and behavior define and reflect aspects of culture. Review papers and innovative reformulations of cross-cultural theory will also be considered. Studies reporting data from within a single nation should focus on cross-cultural perspective. Empirical studies must be described in sufficient detail to be potentially replicable.
