Awareness of adverse childhood experiences and their impact on adult psychopathology primarily focuses on adversities within the home. There is limited insight into the impact of adversities across peer environments.
This study investigates 19 items related to adverse experiences across the home, school and peer environments and their relationship to 12-month and lifetime psychopathology.
Secondary analysis of the Ulster University Student Well-being Study. The dataset included completed responses across all selected variables for 729 participants.
Latent profile analysis identified a low adversity profile, bullying adversity profile and higher prevalence adversity profile. Regression analysis of the three profiles and demographics variables indicated their impact on adult psychopathology lifetime and 12-month prevalence rates.
Schools and HE institutions should acknowledge the impact of childhood adversities. In doing so, it is important to consider the deeper impact of bullying due to its links with psychopathology across the lifespan. Educational institutions should take appropriate steps to mitigate continued exposure as students' progress through the education system.
对童年不良经历及其对成人精神病理学影响的认识主要集中在家庭内部的逆境。对于同龄人环境中逆境的影响了解有限。
本研究调查了与家庭、学校和同龄人环境中的不良经历相关的19个项目，以及它们与12个月和终生精神病理学的关系。
阿尔斯特大学学生幸福感研究的二次分析。数据集包括729名参与者对所有选定变量的完整回答。
潜在剖面分析确定了低逆境剖面、欺凌逆境剖面和高患病率逆境剖面。对这三个剖面和人口统计学变量的回归分析表明了它们对成人精神病理学终生患病率和12个月患病率的影响。
学校和高等教育机构应认识到童年逆境的影响。在此过程中，考虑欺凌行为的更深层次影响很重要，因为它与整个生命周期的精神病理学有关。教育机构应采取适当措施，随着学生在教育系统中的成长，减少他们持续暴露于此类逆境的情况。
