BACKGROUND
Childhood maltreatment can impede gratitude, yet little is known about the older population and its moderators. The aim of this study is to clarify the association between childhood maltreatment and levels of gratitude of the older population, and the moderating effect of social ties on the association.
METHODS
We analyzed the data of 524 community-dwelling older adults aged 65-84 years without functional disabilities in Tokamachi City, Niigata, Japan, collected for the Neuron to Environmental Impact across Generations (NEIGE) study in 2017. Using a questionnaire, the participants rated three types of childhood maltreatment before the age of 18 (physical abuse, emotional neglect, and psychological abuse), level of gratitude, and social ties.
RESULTS
We found an inverse association between emotional neglect and gratitude. Furthermore, emotional neglect was inversely associated with gratitude only for those with lower levels of social ties.
CONCLUSIONS
Promoting social ties may mitigate the adverse impact of emotional neglect on the level of gratitude.
背景
儿童期虐待会阻碍感恩，但对于老年人及其调节因素知之甚少。本研究旨在阐明儿童期虐待与老年人感恩水平之间的关系，以及社会关系对这种关系的调节作用。
方法
我们分析了 2017 年在日本新潟县燕市进行的跨越代际神经元对环境影响（NEIGE）研究中，524 名无功能障碍的 65-84 岁社区居住老年人的数据。使用问卷，参与者在 18 岁之前评定了三种类型的儿童虐待（身体虐待、情感忽视和心理虐待）、感恩水平和社会关系。
结果
我们发现情感忽视与感恩呈负相关。此外，只有那些社会关系水平较低的人，情感忽视才与感恩呈负相关。
结论
促进社会关系可能会减轻情感忽视对感恩水平的不利影响。
