Childhood emotional maltreatment has been linked to a wide range of deleterious physical and psychological adult health outcomes. The present study extends past research by examining the effects of childhood emotional maltreatment on young adult men's life satisfaction through its effects on hostility and perceptions of social relationships. Participants were 423 single men who completed two interviews 1 year apart. As hypothesized, the association between self-reported childhood emotional maltreatment and adult life satisfaction was mediated through general hostility, rejection sensitivity in romantic relationships, and perceptions of male friends' social support. These findings suggest that interventions which address distorted perceptions of romantic partners and friends might reduce the negative impact of childhood emotional maltreatment.
童年期情感虐待与广泛的有害的成年身心健康结果有关。本研究通过考察童年期情感虐待对敌意和社会关系认知的影响,来探究其对年轻成年男性生活满意度的影响,从而扩展了以往的研究。参与者为 423 名单身男性,他们在 1 年内完成了两次访谈。正如假设的那样,自我报告的童年期情感虐待与成年生活满意度之间的关联是通过一般敌意、恋爱关系中的拒绝敏感性以及对男性朋友社会支持的认知来介导的。这些发现表明,干预措施可以纠正对恋爱伴侣和朋友的扭曲认知,从而减少童年期情感虐待的负面影响。
