Supportive and Unsupportive Aspects of the Behavior of Others toward Victims of Sexual and Nonsexual Assault.

Davis, Robert C.; Brickman, Ellen

Journal of Interpersonal Violence, v11 n2 p250-62 Jun 1996

Victims and their primary significant others (SOs) were asked to rate the amounts of supportive and unsupportive behaviors of the SOs following sexual or nonsexual assaults. Victim and SO reports of supportive behavior were moderately correlated. Victim and SO reports of unsupportive behavior were weakly correlated. Victims and SOs reported similar levels of supportive and unsupportive behavior. Discusses other findings. (KW)
