The objective of the current study was to evaluate the direct and indirect effects of childhood victimization on adult mental health, focusing on adult re-victimization as a mediator. Participants ( = 279) were recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk reported on childhood victimization, adulthood victimization, and current mental health. Sixty percent of the sample reported at least one incident of re-victimization in adulthood. Three regressions were conducted in SPSS using the PROCESS macro for mediation, and the indirect effect was tested through bootstrapping (10,000) confidence intervals. Total childhood victimization was a significant predictor of current anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress. For all models, adulthood re-victimization was a significant mediator of the relationship between childhood victimization and current mental health. The effects of childhood victimization on mental health are at least in part explained by the high risk of chronic re-victimization into adulthood.
本研究的目的是评估童年期受侵害对成年期心理健康的直接和间接影响,重点关注成年期再次受侵害作为中介变量的作用。通过亚马逊土耳其机器人平台招募了279名参与者,他们报告了童年期受侵害、成年期受侵害及当前的心理健康状况。60%的样本报告在成年期至少有一次再次受侵害事件。在SPSS中使用PROCESS宏进行中介效应分析,通过自抽样法(10,000次)构建置信区间来检验间接效应。童年期受侵害总量是当前焦虑、抑郁和创伤后应激障碍的显著预测因素。在所有模型中,成年期再次受侵害是童年期受侵害与当前心理健康之间关系的显著中介变量。童年期受侵害对心理健康的影响至少部分可由成年期慢性再次受侵害的高风险来解释。
