Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To determine if negative cognitions accounted for the associations of sexual victimization with depression and alcohol-related problems among first-year college women. METHODS: Data were collected from 719 first-year college females. Structural equation modeling was used to test if negative cognitive schemas mediated the links between sexual victimization and 2 outcomes. RESULTS: Sexual victimization was related to higher levels of depression and alcohol-related problems, and negative cognitions partially accounted for these associations. Whether or not the incident happened in a dating context did not impact on cognitions. CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that preventing negative cognitions might help offset adverse consequences associated with sexual victimization.
