Abstract

Previous studies report a preference for larger comfortable interpersonal distance (CIPD) in individuals with child maltreatment (CM) when being approached by others. Yet, research on approaching others, as opposed to being approached, as well as on potential effects of social anxiety and depression is lacking. We investigated if CM and depressive symptoms influence CIPD and if social anxiety mediates the possible association of CM and CIPD when approaching a female stranger. One hundred ten participants with CM (CM) and 58 participants without CM (non-CM) experiences performed the stop-distance paradigm and stopped first when feeling uncomfortable (D1) and again when feeling very uncomfortable (D2). CM experiences were associated with a preference for larger CIPD, independent of depressive symptoms. All CM subtypes were associated with a larger D2. The relationship between CM and CIPD was partially mediated by social anxiety. These novel findings can help to develop interventions strengthening socially relevant skills and processes in those affected by CM, targeting alterations in social anxiety and depression.

曾遭受儿童虐待的成年人的舒适人际距离更大：抑郁症状和社交焦虑的作用。

以往的研究报告显示，儿童虐待患者（CM）在与他人接触时，倾向于较大的舒适人际距离（CIPD）。然而，关于接近他人（而非被他人接近）以及社交焦虑和抑郁的潜在影响的研究还很缺乏。我们调查了在接近女性陌生人时，CM 和抑郁症状是否会影响 CIPD，以及社交焦虑是否会介导 CM 和 CIPD 的可能关联。110名有CM（CM）经历的参与者和58名没有CM（非CM）经历的参与者进行了 "停止-距离 "范式，在感到不舒服（D1）时首先停止，在感到非常不舒服（D2）时再次停止。CM经历与偏好较大的CIPD有关，与抑郁症状无关。所有 CM 亚型都与较大的 D2 有关。CM与CIPD之间的关系部分由社交焦虑所中介。这些新发现有助于制定干预措施，针对社交焦虑和抑郁的改变，加强受CM影响者的社交相关技能和过程。
