Coping-Related Differences in Academic and Health Outcomes for College Student Victims of Nonconsensual Pornography

ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of St. Thomas (Houston)
Nonconsensual pornography (NCP), the distribution of sexually graphic images or videos without consent, is a prevalent form of cyber sexual abuse (Eaton et al., 2017; Ruvalcaba & Eaton, 2019). In recent years, incidents of NCP have received increased attention as a growing number of celebrities and public figures have been at the center of newsworthy scandals after the release of their private images to the world. Although research on NCP has grown, little is known about the effects of NCP on U.S. college students. This quantitative survey and causal-comparative study examined the coping-related differences in academic and health outcomes among U.S. college student victims of NCP. The setting of this study was online and participants were recruited using a digital flyer posted on popular social media and social networking platforms. Participants in the final sample all reported being a victim of NCP while enrolled at a college or university within the United States. College student victims of NCP included in this sample experienced high levels of somatic symptom burden, low levels of psychological well-being, and negative academic change with limited engagement with help-seeking resource utilization after their NCP experience. Additionally, there was a difference in the amount of somatic symptom burden, psychological distress, and academic change experienced based on the applied coping strategy, with those who used avoidance coping strategies often faring worse than those who used approach coping strategies. Help-seeking resource utilization for both NCP-related or academic change-related needs was generally limited for both groups, with the approach group reported higher rates of help-seeking overall.
