Abstract

The goal of this study was to examine the indirect effect of protective factors (i.e., resilience, coping, and self-esteem) on the association between exposure to traumatic events in childhood and internalizing difficulties for men and women. We surveyed 583 young adults aged 18 to 25 years about past exposure to traumatic events and current internalizing difficulties. The results suggest that there is a significant indirect effect of protective factors on the association between lifetime traumatic event exposure and internalizing distress. Furthermore, there was a gender difference between groups for the indirect effect of protective factors; protective factors had a mediating effect for women but not for men. This study highlights the importance of protective factors in understanding why some individuals experience internalizing difficulties after exposure to traumatic events. When working with victims of traumatic events, it is essential to consider their sex and the presence of protective factors such as coping, resilience, and self-esteem.

作为创伤与男女青少年内化困难之间媒介的保护因素。

本研究的目的是考察保护性因素（即复原力、应对能力和自尊）对童年时期遭受创伤事件与男性和女性内化困难之间关系的间接影响。我们对 583 名 18 至 25 岁的年轻人进行了调查，了解他们过去曾遭遇的创伤事件和目前的内化困难。结果表明，保护性因素对终生创伤事件暴露与内化困扰之间的关联有显著的间接影响。此外，保护性因素的间接效应在不同组别之间存在性别差异；保护性因素对女性具有中介效应，而对男性则没有。这项研究强调了保护性因素在理解为什么有些人在遭受创伤事件后会出现内化困难方面的重要性。在与创伤事件受害者合作时，必须考虑到他们的性别以及是否存在应对、复原力和自尊等保护性因素。
