Sexual violence against women is highly prevalent on college campuses. Survivors of sexual violence often engage in coping strategies such as risky sexual behavior. The present study used a behavioral task to measure sexual risk-taking following experiences of positive or negative affect and an emotion suppression experimental manipulation. Sexually active adult female undergraduates (N = 175) completed measures of sexual traumatization and affective experiences as well as an autobiographical recall task and a delay discounting task for hypothetical sexual outcomes. Half of the participants (n = 87) were asked to suppress their emotional response to the autobiographical recall task. The findings indicate that sexual traumatization had a significant effect on risky sexual decision-making, F(1, 167) = 23.27, p < .001, η_p² = .12, but affective condition, F(1, 167) = .57, p = .451, and emotion suppression, F(1, 167) = .69, p = .412, exhibited no significant associations with sexual risk-taking. These findings suggest other factors may underlie the association between sexual trauma and risky sexual behavior, but further research is warranted.

女性性创伤幸存者危险性行为的实验室检查

针对女性的性暴力在大学校园中非常普遍。性暴力的幸存者经常采取应对策略，例如冒险的性行为。本研究使用行为任务来衡量积极或消极影响经历后的性冒险行为以及情绪抑制实验操作。性活跃的成年女大学生（N = 175）完成了性创伤和情感经历的测量，以及自传回忆任务和假设性结果的延迟贴现任务。一半的参与者（n= 87) 被要求抑制他们对自传回忆任务的情绪反应。研究结果表明，性创伤对有风险的性决策有显着影响，F (1, 167) = 23.27，p < .001，η _p ² = .12，但情感条件，F (1, 167) = . 57，p = .451 和情绪抑制，F (1, 167) = .69，p = .412，与性冒险没有显着关联。这些发现表明，其他因素可能是性创伤与危险性行为之间关联的基础，但还需要进一步研究。
