TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Attentional bias for sexual threat among sexual victimization survivors: a meta-analytic review JO - Trauma, violence, and abuse A1 - Latack, Jessica A.

This relationship was also examined among victims of SV with and without a current diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The broader aim was to elucidate potential mechanisms operating between SV and negative health outcomes. As hypothesized, the findings supported a positive relationship between SV and attentional bias toward sexual threat stimuli, and subanalyses indicated that PTSD symptomatology significantly contributed to this association.
