摘要：
To elucidate individual differences in sexual assault survivor outcomes, we examined locus of control as a moderator of the relationship between victim blaming and both posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and unhealthy alcohol use. The sample consisted of 82 female sexual assault survivors who had disclosed their victimization to at least one person. The results of this survey demonstrated that locus of control did not moderate the relationship between victim blaming and PTSD, or the relationship between victim blaming and unhealthy alcohol use. The findings further supported the direct relationship between victim blaming and a range of negative mental health outcomes among survivors.
