Abstract
This study examined negative life events and sexual assault victimization as predictors of psychological functioning in female students. Negative life events presented a stronger negative predictor of positive functioning (e.g., life satisfaction, positive affect), while sexual assault victimization was a stronger positive predictor of negative functioning (e.g., anxiety).
