N2  - A group of 775 women from a medium-size western Canadian university completed the Trauma Symptom Inventory (TSI) along with assessments of childhood sexual abuse and physical maltreatment and a number of other psychological and behavioral measures. Multivariate analyses determined that women with a history of either form of child maltreatment had significantly higher scores on the TSI than did nonmaltreated women. Similarly, indicators of greater severity of abuse or maltreatment were predictive of higher symptom scores. Normative data derived from this sample are provided, and evidence of the reliability and validity of the TSI for the assessment of trauma-related difficulties in female university students is described.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
