Studies have shown that childhood maltreatment can negatively predict psychosocial flourishing among emerging adults. However, few studies have revealed the factors that can protect the psychosocial flourishing of emerging adults who experienced maltreatment during childhood. Based on theoretical and empirical considerations, this study investigated whether and how psychological (a positive quality that can facilitate individuals' adaptation to environment) plays a protective role in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and psychosocial flourishing among emerging adults. A total of 2863 Chinese emerging adults ( = 19.96 years) completed the self-report measures of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Psychological Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, and Flourishing Scale. The moderated analyses showed that childhood maltreatment had a less negative impact on psychological flourishing in high psychological emerging adults than in low psychological emerging adults. Part of the moderating effect of psychological is mediated through self-esteem. These results demonstrated that psychological plays a buffering effect between childhood maltreatment and psychosocial flourishing, and part of the effect is achieved by mediated variable self-esteem. These findings are discussed, and practical implications are presented.
研究表明，童年期虐待会对成年初期人群的心理社会幸福感产生负面影响。然而，很少有研究揭示哪些因素可以保护那些在童年时期经历过虐待的成年初期人群的心理社会幸福感。基于理论和经验的考虑，本研究探讨了心理韧性（一种能够促进个体适应环境的积极品质）是否以及如何在童年期虐待与成年初期人群心理社会幸福感之间的关系中发挥保护作用。共有 2863 名中国成年初期人群（年龄 = 19.96 岁）完成了童年创伤问卷、心理韧性问卷、罗森伯格自尊量表和幸福感量表的自我报告测量。调节分析表明，在高心理韧性的成年初期人群中，童年期虐待对心理韧性的负面影响较小，而在低心理韧性的成年初期人群中则较大。心理韧性的部分调节作用是通过自尊来介导的。这些结果表明，心理韧性在童年期虐待和心理社会幸福感之间发挥了缓冲作用，部分作用是通过中介变量自尊来实现的。这些发现值得讨论，并提出了实际意义。
