In this study, structural equation modeling was used to examine the mediating role of resilience and self-esteem in the relationships between psychological maltreatment-emotional problems and psychological maltreatment-behavioral problems in adolescents. Participants were 937 adolescents from different high schools in Turkey. The sample included 502 female (53.6%) and 435 male (46.4%) students, 14-19 years old (mean age=16.51, SD=1.15). Results indicated that psychological maltreatment was negatively correlated with resilience and self-esteem, and positively correlated with behavioral problems and emotional problems. Resilience and self-esteem also predicted behavioral problems and emotional problems. Finally, psychological maltreatment predicted emotional and behavioral problems mediated by resilience and self-esteem. Resilience and self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between psychological maltreatment-behavioral and psychological maltreatment-emotional problems in adolescents. Thus, resilience and self-esteem appear to play a protective role in emotional problems and behavioral problems in psychologically maltreated individuals. Implications are discussed and suggestions for psychological counselors and other mental health professionals are presented.
在本研究中，采用结构方程模型来检验复原力和自尊在青少年心理虐待-情绪问题以及心理虐待-行为问题之间关系中的中介作用。参与者为来自土耳其不同高中的937名青少年。样本包括502名女生（53.6%）和435名男生（46.4%），年龄在14至19岁之间（平均年龄=16.51，标准差=1.15）。结果表明，心理虐待与复原力和自尊呈负相关，与行为问题和情绪问题呈正相关。复原力和自尊也能预测行为问题和情绪问题。最后，心理虐待通过复原力和自尊的中介作用预测情绪和行为问题。复原力和自尊部分中介了青少年心理虐待-行为问题与心理虐待-情绪问题之间的关系。因此，复原力和自尊似乎在遭受心理虐待个体的情绪问题和行为问题中起到保护作用。文中讨论了研究的意义，并为心理咨询师和其他心理健康专业人员提供了建议。
