Journal of Interpersonal Violence 25.2 (2010): 274-290. ERIC. EBSCO. Web. 18 Nov. 2010. Developmental effects in relation to traumatic life like sexual abuse will not affect all people attacked. Twelve out of forty-five respondants that experienced abuse before the age of 22 said that their life was affected in a positive way. People exposed to abuse showed more adversity in adulthood rather than those who were not exposed. More studies are needed to underst8and the true complexity of the situation.
