Abstract

Objectives: This study addresses a critical gap in trauma research by examining the moderated mediation effects of gender on the relationship between resilience, mentalizing, and mental health outcomes among Lebanese trauma survivors following the Beirut port explosion in 2020 as well as the earthquakes in 2023.

Method: With a significant sample of 546 participants, the research used robust psychological scales, such as the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire, to examine how resilience affects mental health through mentalizing processes and how these effects differ between genders.

Results: Findings revealed that mentalizing significantly mediates the relationship between resilience and mental health, with stronger effects observed in females. This study highlights the vital role of gender-sensitive interventions in mental health, advocating for the integration of mentalizing-focused therapies in trauma recovery programs to enhance resilience and mitigate mental health difficulties effectively.

Conclusion: The implications of this research are particularly crucial for regions with high exposure to traumatic events, emphasizing the need for tailored, gender-aware psychological support strategies. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

性别对累积创伤幸存者复原力、心理化和心理健康结果之间关系的调节中介作用：以2020年黎巴嫩港口爆炸为例

目的：本研究通过研究性别对2020年贝鲁特港口爆炸和2023年地震后黎巴嫩创伤幸存者的复原力、心理化和心理健康结果之间关系的调节中介作用，解决了创伤研究中的一个关键空白。方法：采用康诺-戴维森弹性量表和反思功能问卷等强大的心理量表，以546名参与者为样本，研究弹性如何通过心理化过程影响心理健康，以及这些影响在性别之间的差异。结果：心理化在心理弹性与心理健康之间具有显著的中介作用，且在女性中作用更强。本研究强调了性别敏感干预在心理健康中的重要作用，提倡在创伤恢复计划中整合以心理为重点的治疗，以增强心理弹性和有效减轻心理健康困难。结论：本研究的意义对创伤性事件高暴露地区尤其重要，强调需要量身定制的、有性别意识的心理支持策略。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
