Definitions of Child Care Abuse (CSA), Prevalence Rates, and
Sample-Level Effect Sizes (i.e.) Psychological Correlates in Using College Student
Samples
Note
a [In 'column' 1:] U = only unwanted sex included in definition;
a = all types of sex, unwanted and willing, included.
[In 'column' 2:] C = only physical contact sex included in definition;
b = both contact and noncontact experoenced included.
Next, upper age of "child" is given first; then, the minimum
age of other person is given
(e.g., w/ 5+ means with someone at least 5 years older);
last, other conditions for CSA are
given.
b Ns are number of subjects used for prevalences; may be
different from effect size Ns.
Under CSA, percentage of sample with CSA experiences is provided.
c Ns are numbers of subjects in analysis of psychological
correlates of CSA;
rs are the sample-level effect sizes. "Reaction data
only" indicates data were availble only
for self-reported reaction of effects.
d Dashes indicate that an effect size for psychological correlates was
not computable - only
data for self-reported reactions or effects were provided.
e Represents N and r for female and male students
combined; rsults were not reported separately, thus the dashes on the next row.
