The current study examines the utility of self-trauma theory for explaining the long-term impact of childhood psychological abuse on aggression. Specifically, the self-capacities of interpersonal relatedness, identity, and affect regulation are tested as mediators of the impact of psychological abuse on various types of aggression in adulthood. Hierarchical regression analyses are used to examine data collected from 268 university students who completed the Personality Assessment Inventory, Comprehensive Child Maltreatment Scale, and the Inventory of Altered Self-Capacities. Results show that self-capacities were predicted by maltreatment, particularly psychological abuse. Altered self-capacities fully mediate the impact of child maltreatment on various forms of aggression. Problems with interpersonal relationships play the most significant role in mediating the relationship between child maltreatment and aggression. Results suggest more frequent maltreating experiences predict more dysfunctional self-capacities, which increases the probability of displaying various forms of aggression.
本研究考察了自我创伤理论在解释儿童期心理虐待对攻击行为的长期影响方面的效用。具体来说，将人际关联性、身份认同和情绪调节等自我能力作为心理虐待对成年后各种类型攻击行为的影响的中介进行了检验。采用层次回归分析方法，对 268 名完成人格评估量表、综合儿童虐待量表和自我能力改变量表的大学生进行了数据分析。结果表明，自我能力可以由虐待，特别是心理虐待来预测。自我能力的改变完全中介了儿童虐待对各种形式攻击行为的影响。人际关系问题在中介儿童虐待和攻击行为之间的关系中起着最重要的作用。结果表明，更频繁的虐待经历预示着更失调的自我能力，从而增加了表现出各种形式攻击行为的可能性。
