Deconstructing self-blame following sexual assault: the critical roles of cognitive content and process.

چکیده
As part of a larger study, predictors of self-blame were investigated in a sample of 149 undergraduate sexual assault survivors. Each participant completed questionnaires regarding their preassault, peritraumatic, and postassault experiences and participated in an individual interview. Results confirmed the central hypothesis that, although several established correlates independently relate to self-blame, only cognitive content and process variables- negative self-cognitions and counterfactual-preventability cognitions-uniquely predict self-blame in a multivariate model.
