Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify abuse characteristics and attitudes that influence blame attributions among CSA victims from a community sample. Data from respondents with a history of CSA (N = 1,496) have been used in predicting blame attributions; perpetrator-blame, self-blame, or both. Results from a multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that attitudes toward gender roles had a significant effect on blame: victims were more likely to blame themselves when they endorsed more conservative gender attitudes than victims with more liberal attitudes. Implications for this finding are discussed.19 p.application/pdfeng(c) Taylor & Francis, 2018CulpabilitatEstudi de casosAbús sexual envers els infantsGuiltCase studiesChild sexual abuseinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6834902025-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
