N2  - We examined the associations between women's behavioral coping responses during sexual assault and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and the moderating role of alexithymia in college women (N  =  152). Immobilized responses (b  =  0.52, p < .001), childhood SA (b  =  0.18, p  =  .01), and alexithymia (b  =  0.34, p < .001) significantly predicted PTSD. The interaction between immobilized responses and alexithymia was significant (b  =  0.39, p  =  .002), indicating a stronger association for those higher in alexithymia. Immobilized responses are associated with PTSD, particularly for those with difficulty identifying and labeling emotions.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
