“…Longitudinal designs would both better address the temporal relations among these constructs as well as reduce reliance on retrospective memory if using a sample of acutely traumatized individuals. Furthermore, tests of RESIT against other methods for determining causal direction (e.g., Chaudhary & Samatova, 2018) have indicated that other methods (e.g., LiNGAM, CRPAM) outperform RESIT in determining causal direction and may provide more specific indications of direction in the future. In addition, continued use of RESIT in psychological and behavioral data will provide more support for its use beyond those in simulated data or geological or climatological surveys (Mooij et al, 2016).…”

Objective: Contamination concerns are common following sexual victimization and are associated with increased attentional bias and difficulty disengaging from contamination cues. While most survivors of sexual trauma disclose their experience to others, it is unclear whether disclosure increases feelings of contamination or whether, consistent with the fever model of disclosure, existing contamination-related distress increases the amount of content shared during disclosure, indicative of attentional bias toward contamination-inducing aspects of the trauma memory. Method: Accordingly, the current study examined the directionality and relationships between contamination symptoms and content shared during sexual assault disclosure in 106 sexual assault survivors (76.4% women). Forced decision regression with subsequent independence test (RESIT) was used to identify directionality of relationships, and multivariate and linear regressions examined these proposed effects in the presence of assault and demographic characteristics. Results: More severe contamination symptoms predicted greater sharing of details during sexual assault disclosure yet had no impact on sharing of emotions, cognitions, and beliefs during disclosures. Although RESIT suggested that contrary to other content domains, disclosure of social experiences may directionally predict contamination symptoms, this relationship did not retain statistical significance in a linear regression model. Conclusions: Findings support the fever model of disclosure and attentional bias theories regarding contamination-related stimuli, and suggest that survivors experiencing postassault contamination symptoms may be more likely fixate on the contamination-invoking details of the trauma memory when disclosing. Such fixation has the potential to interfere with typical treatment-related processes (e.g., habituation) and should be thoughtfully addressed to maximize treatment gains.
