Abstract

This study contributes to the literature on the long-term effects of childhood disadvantage on mental health by estimating the association between patterns of cumulative childhood adversity on trajectories of psychological distress in adulthood. There is little research that investigates how compositional variations in the accumulation of childhood adversity may initiate distinct processes of disadvantage and differentially shape trajectories of psychological distress across the adult life course. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics' Childhood Retrospective Circumstance Study and latent class analysis, we first identify distinct classes representing varied histories of exposure to childhood adversities using 25 indicators of adversity across multiple childhood domains. Next, the latent classes are included as predictors of trajectories of psychological distress in adulthood. The results demonstrate that patterns of experiences of childhood adversity are associated with higher levels of adult psychological distress that persists, and in some cases worsens, in adulthood, contributing to disparities in mental health across the life course.

童年不利的持久印记:童年逆境暴露的累积历史和成年后心理困扰的轨迹。
本研究通过估计童年逆境累积模式与成年期心理困扰轨迹之间的关系,为童年逆境对心理健康的长期影响提供了文献依据。很少有研究调查童年逆境积累的成分变化如何启动不同的不利过程,并在成年过程中不同地形成心理困扰的轨迹。利用收入动态小组研究的童年回顾环境研究和潜在类别分析,我们首先使用跨多个童年领域的25个逆境指标确定了代表不同童年逆境暴露历史的不同类别。接下来,潜在类别被包括作为成年期心理困扰轨迹的预测因子。研究结果表明,童年逆境经历的模式与成年后持续存在的、在某些情况下会恶化的较高程度的心理困扰有关,这导致了整个生命过程中心理健康的差异。
