| dc.description.abstract | The role of positive (i.e. growth) and negative (i.e. posttraumatic stress symptoms) adjustment following a sexual assault experience were examined using a standardized definition of abuse. These reactions were explored in association with positive and negative support from formal and informal providers. Finally, the collective impact of positive and negative, formal and informal, support was investigated in predicting positive and negative adjustment with standardized measures. Both forms of informal support were found to be associated with positive outcomes. Only negative informal support was associated with posttraumatic stress symptoms. | |
