Asking research participants about trauma and abuse.
Ullman, Sarah E.
American Psychologist, Vol 62(4), May-Jun 2007, 329-330.
Comments on the article by K. Becker-Blease and J. Freyd (see record 2006-03947-003), which presented a timely, persuasive, and well-documented argument to psychologists about why it is important to consider asking about a history of abuse and/or trauma in research studies. As a social psychologist studying victims' disclosures of sexual assault, social reactions received from others following disclosure, and the effects of these reactions on victims, S. E. Ullman expands on just a few of the 10 concerns discussed in their article regarding risks associated with trauma and abuse disclosure that may help researchers decide about whether to ask such questions.
