Abstract

In the present study, 200 male university students between the ages of 18 and 27 years (mean = 21.4 yr.) completed a questionnaire designed to record data about childhood sexual abuse. The rate of disclosure of sexual abuse was 14%. Analysis indicated that the 28 abused subjects had experienced earlier separation from parents and a generally more unstable environment than the nonabused subjects. Implications for research are discussed.
