rch suggests that compared with females, males are less likely to disclose (e.g., DeVoe & Faller, 1999; Finkelhor, Hotel- lag. Lewis. & Smith. 1990; Widom & Morris. 1997). Williams and Banyard (1997) uncovered significant gender differences when they compared disclosure in Williams's ( 1994a) sample of women w

Further- more, compared with females, males may be less likely to dis- close CSA (e.g., Finkelhor, Hotaling, Lewis, & Smith, 1990; Widom & Morris, 1997; but see Goodman et al., 2003) and may have less detailed autobiographical memories about emotional events (Davis, 1999). If males are hesita

To shed light on this issue, we analyzed adults' memories for verified childhood genital contact after an 18-to-20-year de
