Table 3.
Correlations of Age at Abuse Discovery, Gender, Abuse Severity, General Self-blame Attributions and Abuse-specific Attributions with Depressive and PTSD Symptoms at T3.
| Depression | Intrusive Experiences | Anxious Arousal | Defensive Avoidance | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age | .03 | −.01 | .03 | .02 |
| Female Gender | .23* | .06 | .14 | .14 |
| Abuse Severity | .11 | .05 | .07 | .11 |
| Gen T1 | −.17 | −.16 | −.06 | −.20* |
| Gen Slope | −.23* | −.08 | −.22* | −.07* |
| Self T1 | .19* | .23** | .03 | .12 |
| Perp T1 | .06 | .05 | .05 | .11 |
| Perp Slope | −.06 | −.02 | −.03 | −.07 |
Notes: Gen T1= T1 intercept score for general self-blame attribution (lower score more self-blame); Gen Slope = slope for the general self-blame attribution score (lower score more self-blame); Self T1 = T1 intercept score for abuse-specific self-blame attribution; Perp T1 = T1 intercept score for perpetrator-blame attribution; Perp Slope = slope score for perpetrator-blame attribution;
p < .05;
p < .01. The values in this table are zero-order correlation coefficients, but the text reports regression coefficients with several other variables controlled. Two associations (Anxious Arousal with Gen T1 and Anxious Arousal with Gender) only became significant in the context of the multivariable regression models, while the corresponding bivariate correlations in this table were not significant.
