Abstract

Childhood trauma can disrupt one's sense of the meaning of life. Forgiveness can be an important strategy in restoring the meaning of life and gaining a new meaning. In this context, the present study aims to test the theoretical model evaluating the hypothesis that forgiveness repairs the meaning of life deteriorated after traumas and makes positive contributions. A total of 552 individuals, 369 female (66.8%) and 183 male (33.2%), participated in the study. The sample group of the study was found by using a convenience sampling method via online survey. Introductory information form, The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-28), Heartland Forgiveness Scale, and the Meaning in Life Questionnaire were used as data collection instruments. Means and standard deviations of the variables and the correlation coefficients between the variables were calculated using descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation. The hypothesized model was tested by using structural equation modelling. In the model, childhood traumas have a negative and significant direct effect on forgiveness (β:-.362) and meaning in life (β:-.256). Forgiveness has a positive and significant effect on meaning in life (β:.715). Also, the mediating (indirect) effect of forgiveness in the relationship between childhood mental traumas and meaning in life was statistically significant (β:-.259). Structural equation modeling showed that forgiveness was the mediating variable affecting changing meaning in life.

童年精神创伤与生命意义:宽恕的中介作用。
童年创伤会扰乱一个人对生命意义的认识。宽恕是恢复生命意义和获得新意义的重要策略。在此背景下,本研究旨在检验宽恕修复创伤后生活意义退化并做出积极贡献这一假设的理论模型。共有552只个体参与研究,其中雌性369只(66.8%),雄性183只(33.2%)。本研究的样本组采用在线调查的便捷抽样方法。数据收集工具包括介绍信息表、童年创伤问卷(CTQ-28)、心灵宽恕量表和生活意义问卷。采用描述性分析和Pearson相关计算各变量的均值和标准差以及各变量之间的相关系数。采用结构方程模型对假设模型进行了验证。在该模型中,童年创伤对宽恕(β:- 0.362)和生活意义(β:- 0.256)有负向且显著的直接影响。宽恕对人生意义有积极而显著的影响(β:.715)。此外,宽恕在童年精神创伤与生活意义之间的中介(间接)作用具有统计学意义(β:- 0.259)。结构方程模型表明,宽恕是影响生活意义变化的中介变量。
