Prior researches have implicated a relationship of recidivism with childhood trauma (CT) and emotional intelligence (EI). However, the internal mechanism by which CT and EI influence the recidivism has not been examined.
This study aimed to map the road from CT and EI to recidivism in Chinese male offenders.
Three thousand one hundred and eighty-one Chinese adult male offenders participated in this study and completed Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS). Recidivism was quantified by the number of convictions according to official records.
After controlling for age, education levels, family criminal history, and nature of offence, logistic regression sanalysis was performed to examine the effects of CT and EI on severity of recidivism. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to explore the mediation model between CT, EI and recidivism.
Logistic regression model shows a significant effect of CT (OR = 1.008, p < 0.01), rather than EI, on recidivism. SEM supported a full mediating effect of CT in the relationship between EI and severity of recidivism.
Our findings suggest that EI has no direct effect on the recidivism, but exerts indirect influence on the recidivism through the mediating role of childhood trauma.
先前的研究表明，累犯与儿童期创伤（CT）和情绪智力（EI）之间存在关系。然而，CT 和 EI 影响累犯的内在机制尚未得到检验。
本研究旨在探讨中国男性罪犯中 CT 和 EI 与累犯之间的关系。
3181 名中国成年男性罪犯参加了这项研究，并完成了儿童期创伤问卷（CTQ）和 Wong 法律情绪智力量表（WLEIS）。累犯的严重程度根据官方记录的定罪次数来量化。
在控制年龄、教育程度、家庭犯罪史和犯罪性质后，采用逻辑回归分析检验 CT 和 EI 对累犯严重程度的影响。结构方程模型（SEM）用于探讨 CT、EI 和累犯之间的中介模型。
逻辑回归模型显示 CT（OR=1.008，p<0.01）而不是 EI 对累犯有显著影响。SEM 支持 CT 在 EI 和累犯严重程度之间的关系中具有完全中介作用。
我们的研究结果表明，EI 对累犯没有直接影响，而是通过儿童期创伤的中介作用对累犯产生间接影响。
