Summary View help for Summary
This project conducts two studies that collect data to examine effects of a history of childhood abuse (CA) on adult intimate relationships. In Study 1, information on intimacy schemas is derived by conducting human-aided content analyses and computer-aided language analyses of control and intimacy through relevant essays written by 150 women with and 150 women without a history of CA. In Study 2, 165 women with a history of CA and intimacy difficulties are randomly assigned to write about either: 1) time management (control), 2) a past traumatic experience, or 3) intimacy-relevant schemas. Pre- and post- (1, 3, 6, months) writing intervention assessments are conducted to examine the impact of the writing interventions on intimacy variables.
