The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that AS would emerge as a statistical predictor of PTSS dimensions among community members and undergraduate students endorsing lifetime exposure to sexual trauma. Adults endorsing a history of sexual assault (N = 52) completed an online battery, including self-report measures of AS, general distress, dysfunctional trauma-related beliefs (i.e., posttraumatic cognitions), and PTSS. Although AS was associated with PTSS dimensions at the bivariate level (rs ranged .68–82), AS did not emerge as a significant unique predictor of PTSS dimensions in linear regression analyses after controlling for general distress and posttraumatic cognitions. In fact, general distress was th...
