Abstract

Previous findings suggest that childhood maltreatment leads to the development of early maladaptive schemas (EMS) which, in turn, can predispose individuals to future psychopathology. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating roles of the quality of the early parent-child relationship and dispositional forgiveness, as potential protective factors, in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and maladaptive schemas. A total of 173 participants completed measures of the problematic relationship with their father and their mother, forgiveness, childhood maltreatment, and maladaptive schemas. Results revealed that participants with multi-type maltreatment had significantly higher maladaptive schema scores than those with a single type. In addition, the problematic relationship with the father mediated the relationship between childhood maltreatment and maladaptive schemas. Finally, self-forgiveness emerged as a significant predictor of lower early maladaptive schemas over and above all the other key variables. These results suggest that early interventions can benefit from including strategies focusing on promoting healthy parent-child relationships, as well as forgiveness of the self in children to cultivate their well-being. Furthermore, interventions in adulthood can target perceptions of parent-child relationships and self-forgiveness in the present moment.

童年虐待与早期适应不良模式:自我原谅的作用
以往的研究结果表明,童年虐待会导致早期适应不良图式(EMS)的形成,而这种图式反过来又会导致个体日后出现心理病态。本研究旨在调查早期亲子关系的质量和性格上的宽容(作为潜在的保护因素)在童年虐待与适应不良图式之间关系中的中介作用。共有 173 名参与者完成了关于他们与父亲和母亲之间的问题关系、宽恕、童年虐待和适应不良模式的测量。结果显示,受多种类型虐待的参与者的适应不良模式得分明显高于受单一类型虐待的参与者。此外,与父亲之间的问题关系对童年虐待和适应不良模式之间的关系起到了中介作用。最后,在所有其他关键变量之上,自我宽恕成为降低早期适应不良模式的重要预测因素。这些结果表明,早期干预可以受益于以促进健康的亲子关系为重点的策略,以及对儿童的自我宽恕,以培养他们的幸福感。此外,成年后的干预措施可以针对对亲子关系的看法和当下的自我宽恕。

期刊介绍: Journal of Child and Family Studies (JCFS) international, peer-reviewed forum for topical issues pertaining to the behavioral health and well-being of children, adolescents, and their families. Interdisciplinary and ecological in approach, the journal focuses on individual, family, and community contexts that influence child, youth, and family well-being and translates research results into practical applications for providers, program implementers, and policymakers. Original papers address applied and translational research, program evaluation, service delivery, and policy matters that affect child, youth, and family well-being. Topic areas include but are not limited to: enhancing child, youth/young adult, parent, caregiver, and/or family functioning; prevention and intervention related to social, emotional, or behavioral functioning in children, youth, and families; cumulative effects of risk and protective factors on behavioral health, development, and well-being; the effects both of exposure to adverse childhood events and assets/protective factors; child abuse and neglect, housing instability and homelessness, and related ecological factors influencing child and family outcomes.
