Christine Cissy White posted:Laurie: I was so curious about this I looked around as well. I found this:
No One Noticed, No One Heard: A Study of Child Abuse Disclosures: https://www.nspcc.org.uk/globa...one-heard-report.pdf
It's the most direct and related research I could find. It's fairly in depth and has other references which might point you in the right direction.
- This one might help you get in touch with researchers who know more:
Lessons learned from child sexual abuse research: prevalence, outcomes, and preventive strategies. https://capmh.biomedcentral.co....1186/1753-2000-7-22
- Some on impact of emotional abuse (not specifically not being believed)
http://dana.org/Cerebrum/2000/Wounds_That_Time_Won’t_Heal__The_Neurobiology_of_Child_Abuse/
- There were things about the role of feelings of self-efficacy after trauma. Would be hard to have in light of a trauma people don't believe. It's more the inverse of what you are asking for but the researchers and articles might help. https://www.uky.edu/~eushe2/Ba...a/Bandura2004CTR.pdf
- Often early experience has its effect indirectly by initiating a chain of events, by altering the organism in some way, and/or by promoting the impact of later experience. We provide examples where early experience is moderated and mediated by other factors and where it shows latent effects following developmental change. We illustrate developmental processes through which early experience has its effect and conclude that despite the complexity of development variations in early experience retain a vital place in the study of development. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2857405/

I hope you report back and link to the article you write on this topic so we can all learn more. Cissy
Hi Cissy,
This is a great help! I really appreciate it. I have been in touch with RAINN in the past. Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely let people know when my article comes out and likely write a blog post about it to let people know.
Best regards,
Laurie
