N2  - Abstract Previous research points to links between risk detection (ability to detect danger cues in various situations) and sexual revictimimzation in college women. Given important differences between college and community samples that may be relevant to revictimization risk (e.g., complexity of trauma histories), the current study explored the link between risk detection and revictimization in a community sample of women. Community-recruited women (N = 94) reported on their trauma histories in a semi-structured interview. In a laboratory session, participants listened to a dating scenario involving a woman and a man that culminates in sexual assault. Participants were instructed to press a button 'when the man had gone too far'. Unlike in college samples, revictimized communtiy women (n=47) did not differ in risk detection response times from women with no- (n=10) or single-victimization (n=15) histories. Data from this study point to the importance of examining revictimization in heterogeneous community samples where risk mechanisms may differ from college samples.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
