This study examined the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and resilience through a sense of purpose in life (SP) among 578 college students, applying resilience theory and positive psychology.
Using a cross-sectional, online survey design, data were collected. Most respondents were female (71.9%), heterosexual (69.9%), and Caucasian (61.6%) undergraduate students.
The results indicated that ACEs were not directly related to resilience ( = -.09, .05). SP had an indirect effect in the relationship between ACEs and resilience ( = -.11, 95% CI = -.16 to -.05). SP fully mediated the association between ACEs and resilience in college students.
This indicates that students with a history of ACEs tend to have lower levels of resilience due to their reduced levels of SP.
Trauma-informed, campus-wide interventions targeting SP for college students who were exposed to ACEs may be effective.
本研究运用复原力理论和积极心理学,对578名大学生进行调查,探讨童年不良经历(ACEs)与通过生活目的感(SP)产生的复原力之间的关联。
采用横断面在线调查设计收集数据。大多数受访者为女性(71.9%)、异性恋(69.9%)和白人(61.6%)本科生。
结果表明,ACEs与复原力无直接关联(β = -0.09,p = 0.05)。SP在ACEs与复原力的关系中具有间接效应(β = -0.11,95%CI = -0.16至-0.05)。SP完全中介了大学生中ACEs与复原力之间的关联。
这表明有ACEs经历的学生由于其较低的SP水平,复原力往往较低。
针对有ACEs经历的大学生,以SP为目标的创伤知情的全校性干预措施可能有效。
