Self-blame is an important\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esymptom to consider, and some research has shown certain characteristics may lead to increased\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etrauma-related self-blame for survivors. High rates of self-blame are likely to lead to increased\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esymptomatology and increased treatment resistance. The aim of this study was to explore the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erelationship between rape myth acceptance, tonic immobility, negative disclosure response\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexperiences, substance use, and sexual arousal and how they may impact trauma-related selfblame\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efor male survivors of adult sexual assault and\/or child sexual abuse. 179 cisgender men\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith a history of CSA and\/or ASA completed online measures to assess for rape myth beliefs, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etonic immobility, disclosure experiences, sexual arousal, and substance use. Findings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edemonstrated that only rape myth acceptance significantly predicted self-blame in male\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esurvivors. Additionally, results indicated participants who used substances within 72 hours of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etheir nonconsensual sexual event and previously disclosed their abuse experienced higher rates\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof self-blame than those who did not. Notably, even though sexual arousal was not a significant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epredictor in this study, only 2.8% of the total sample reported experiencing no indications of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ephysiological sexual arousal and 60% had significant experiences of physiological sexual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003earousal. Additionally, over two thirds of the sample never disclosed the nonconsensual sexual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eevent to anyone.
