Reactions to Survivors and the Impact of Disclosure on Informal Support Providers from a Dyadic Interview Study

Fri, Nov 17, 2:00 to 3:20pm, Marriott, Franklin 8, 4th Floor

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

This thematic panel will provide an overview of findings related to social support in dyadic matched pairs of sexual assault survivors and their informal support providers, including family, friends, and romantic partners. This panel will examine the role of social reactions to assault disclosure, alcohol related social reactions to alcohol related sexual assaults, and the impact of sexual assault disclosure on the interviewed support providers including post-disclosure help seeking behaviors.
Three interrelated presentations will present new interview data from 45 matched pairs of victims and their informal support sources recruited from a large longitudinal community residing sample of sexual assault victims. All three presentations will draw implications for treatment and intervention with survivors of this crime.
