“…A major limitation to our understanding and intervening with sexual victimization is a lack of standardized measurement tools; it is impossible to ascertain the scope or characteristics of the problem without an assessment of how often it occurs. The development of checklists and behaviorally-specific items has greatly improved the measurement of violence and other stigmatized behavior (Cook, Gidycz, Koss, & Murphy, 2011); however, measures of sexual victimization in men have largely been adapted from measures with women without testing the psychometric properties of these adaptions (Aosved et al, 2011;Conway et al, 2004). For instance, a review of the literature found that none of the 79 prevalence studies of sexual victimization in men used a standardized measure to assess sexual victimization (Peterson et al, 2011).…”

Estimates of the rate of sexual victimization in college men vary wildly-likely due to the lack of validated measures. This study provides psychometric data on the Sexual Experiences Survey-Short Form Victimization (SES-SFV) and basic descriptive characteristics of sexual victimization of college men via the SES-SFV. Participants (n = 405) completed a web survey containing the study measures; a subset of 69 participants completed the SES-SFV again 1-3 weeks later. Convergent validity correlations were consistent but modest in size. Two-week test retest reliability estimates varied widely by the type of sexual victimization assessed and scoring format used; dichotomous scores were the most reliable and category scores the worst. Over one in four participants (28%) reported experiencing sexual victimization at Time 1; most reported victimization frequencies greater than one (22.8% of sample). Using behaviorally specific items, one in seven reported experiencing rape (14.1%). The most common type of sexual victimization experienced was unwanted sexual contact. Rape acknowledgement among men who experienced rape (12.2%) was much lower than has been observed in women. Our results indicate mixed evidence for the reliability and validity of the SES-SFV in college men, highlight important characteristics of sexual victimization in college men, and demonstrate the need for further research on the best strategies for the assessment of sexual victimization in college men.

“…For example, whereas SR correlates positively with measures of negative affectivity (e.g., Anderson et al, 1996;Conway, Giannopoulos, Csank, & Mendelson, 1993;Kingree & Ruback, 1996), neuroticism (e.g., Ben-Artzi & Hamburger, 2001;Creed & Funder, 1998;Trapnell & Campbell, 1999), self-concept clarity (Campbell et al, 1996), and loneliness (Watson, Milliron, & Morris, 1995), ISA shows either null or opposite associations with these measures (Anderson et al, 1996;Ben-Artzi & Hamburger, 2001;Kingree & Ruback, 1996;Piliavin & Charng, 1988;Watson, Hickman, Morris, Stutz, & Whiting, 1994).

Factor Structure of the Private Self-Consciousness Scale: Role of Item Wording

In 3 studies, I have tested the structure of different phrasing versions of the Private Self-Consciousness Scale (PrSC; Fenigstein, Scheier, & Buss, 1975) using exploratory and confirmatory factor-analytic methods and examined their predictive validity. For the original version of the PrSC, a 2-factorial model similar to Nystedt and Ljungberg's (2002) solution was found to best fit the data. When all scale items included extreme rate of occurrence words such as always, a single-factor solution emerged. Finally, when all words reflecting rate of occurrence were removed, again a 2-factor structure emerged, although different in item composition from that of the original version. In addition, different patterns of association emerged between the PrSC factors and depression and self-esteem for the extreme and neutral versions. I discuss the importance of reconceptualizing self-consciousness and the need for a new, theoretically based scale for self-consciousness.

“…Youth exposed to abuse are more likely to have their emotional displays dismissed, minimized, or punished by adults (Eisenberg, Fabes, & Murphy, 1996). As a result, they may suppress or inhibit emotional expression and instead employ maladaptive patterns of emotion regulation strategies, such as rumination, suppression, or avoidance (Krause, Mendelson, & Lynch, 2003;Conway, Mendelson, Giannopoulos, Csank, & Holm, 2004;Sarin & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2010).…”

“…Indeed, a large body of research provides evidence for the association between exposure to child abuse and multiple forms of emotion regulation difficulties (Gruhn & Compas, 2020;Maughan & Cicchetti, 2002). Youth exposed to abuse are more likely to use maladaptive emotion regulation strategies, such as rumination, expressive suppression, and avoidance as indicated by self and parent reports and behavioral observations (Heleniak et al, 2016;Conway et al, 2004;Shenk, Putnam, & Noll, 2012;Weissman et al, 2019). Exposure to child abuse is also associated with poor emotional awareness (i.e., difficulty identifying and labeling one's emotions), which underlies emotion regulation difficulties (Barrett, Gross, Christensen, & Benvenuto, 2001;Kalokerinos, Erbas, Ceulemans, & Kuppens, 2019).…”

Child Abuse Subtypes and Automatic Emotion Regulation Processes in Children and Adolescents

Child abuse is associated with elevated risk for psychopathology. The current study examined the role of automatic emotion regulation as a potential mechanism linking child abuse with internalizing psychopathology. A sample of 237 youth aged 8–16 years and their caregivers participated. Child abuse severity was assessed by self-report questionnaires, and automatic emotion regulation was assessed using an emotional Stroop task designed to measure adaptation to emotional conflict. A similar task without emotional stimuli was also administered to evaluate whether abuse was uniquely associated with emotion regulation, but not cognitive control applied in a non-emotional context. Internalizing psychopathology was assessed concurrently and at a two-year longitudinal follow-up. Child abuse severity was associated with lower emotional conflict adaptation but was unrelated to cognitive control. Specifically, the severity of emotional and physical abuse, but not sexual abuse, were associated with lower emotional conflict adaptation. Emotional conflict adaptation was not associated with internalizing psychopathology prospectively. These findings suggest that childhood emotional and physical abuse, in particular, may influence automatic forms of emotion regulation. Future work exploring the socioemotional consequences of altered automatic emotion regulation among youth exposed to child abuse is clearly needed.
