项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by candidate): The proposed project is designed to test the hypothesis that physiological changes attributed to childhood sexual abuse (CSA) moderate the relationship between CSA and adult sexual dysfunctions. Despite the pervasive and debilitating impact of CSA on women's lives and their sexuality, no studies to date has looked at the impact of biological changes, as sequela of CSA, on the physiology of female sexual functioning. Understanding the physiological implication of sexual dysfunction in CSA survivors is the first step in developing effective treatments to support this underserved population in developing and maintaining satisfying and functional intimate relationships. The proposed project will look at the relationship between levels of autonomic activity at rest and heightened activity, and physiological and subjective sexual arousal. Women with CSA and sexual arousal disturbances will be compared to women with CSA and no sexual arousal disturbances, and women without CSA and with no sexual disturbances. Autonomic activity will be manipulated with physical exercise, and assessed through heart rate and norepinephrine levels. Sexual response will be manipulated through exposure to sexual videos and measured with a vaginal photoplethysmograph, self-report questionnaires.

描述（由候选人提供）：拟议的项目旨在检验以下假设：归因于儿童性虐待（CSA）的生理变化使CSA与成人性功能障碍之间的关系。尽管CSA对妇女的生活及其性行为产生了普遍性和令人衰弱的影响，但迄今为止，尚未研究生物学变化的影响，如CSA的续集对女性性功能的生理学。了解性功能障碍在CSA幸存者中的生理含义是开发有效治疗的第一步，以支持这一服务不足的人群发展和维持令人满意和功能性的亲密关系。拟议的项目将探讨静止活动和增强活动的自主活动水平与生理和主观性唤醒之间的关系。患有CSA和性唤醒性障碍的妇女将与CSA且没有性唤醒障碍的妇女进行比较，没有CSA，没有性障碍。自主活动将通过体育锻炼来操纵，并通过心率和去甲肾上腺素水平进行评估。性反应将通过暴露于性视频来操纵，并通过阴道照相仪，自我报告问卷进行测量。
