A Life History Assessment of Early Childhood Sexual Abuse in Women
J.M. Vigil, D.C. Geary, J. Byrd-Craven
Developmental Psychology Vol 41(3), May 2005
Life history theory provided a framework for examining the relations among
child sexual abuse (CSA), childhood adversity, and patterns of reproductive
development and behavior. [...] Cluster analyses revealed different patterns
of experiential correlates of reproductive development within the group of
abused women, suggesting CSA may operate in combination with other childhood
circumstances to modify the timing and pattern of individual maturation.
