Here is the conclusion section of the abstract of her Phd dissertation (Blasey, Christine Margaret. University of Southern California, ProQuest Dissertations Publishing, 1996)
“Boys and girls relied on similar coping strategies, however there were significant gender differences in the frequency of use of certain coping strategies. The largest difference was that boys were more likely than girls to cope with stories involving physically aggressive behaviors. Girls were more likely to verbalize cooperative, prosocial strategies. In addition, the use of certain coping strategies were differentially related to behavior for boys and girls. Specifically, boys denial of negative affect was related to poor home environment and to cognitive impairment. In addition, boys who were aggressive tended to react to simulated interpersonal conflict by verbalizing cooperative, tension reducing statements. Boys’ who verbalized physically aggressive stories in response to conflict were less likely to actually display aggressive behavior.”
So, where are her HS friends stating that she verbally discussed this assault with them. Seriously tho- where are her friends who remembered this ‘life threatening’ assault?
What a load of B.S. crap. As an aside, wrong punctuation in a couple of places.
