摘要

孤独是一种主观的、痛苦的体验，是由期望的和感知的社会关系之间的不平衡所导致的。一些情境因素可能会增加年轻人的孤独感。本研究旨在通过将童年创伤经历和当前心理困扰作为潜在的中介因素来探索父母关系与孤独感之间的关系。方法随机抽取608名心理学专业大学生（Mage = 21.23, SD = 2.10）。通过在线调查评估社会人口学特征、父母关系（PBI）、孤独感（UCLA）、童年创伤性情绪经历（CTQ）、焦虑（GAD-7）、抑郁（PHQ-9）和躯体症状（PHQ-15）。在初步评估了频率分布、描述性统计和相关性之后，我们进行了通径分析，以检查感兴趣的变量之间的直接和间接影响。结果路径模型显示PBI护理与儿童创伤经历呈负相关（ps≤0.01）。儿童时期的情绪虐待和忽视预示着更高水平的焦虑和抑郁（ps≤0.05）。情绪虐待进一步预测躯体症状(p <；措施)。最后，童年创伤性情感经历（忽视和虐待）对孤独感有正向预测作用(ps <；0.001)，以及抑郁症(p <；措施)。总体而言，该模型解释了UCLA量表的显著差异(R2 = 0.44, p <；措施)。结论童年创伤和成年抑郁症状在低亲代关爱与孤独感之间起中介作用。认识到早期负面父母关系的影响，可以通过解决早期依恋问题来定制干预措施，以增强心理健康。

The echoes of childhood: How parental bonding and emotional trauma shape loneliness in young adults

Background

Loneliness is a subjective and painful experience resulting from an imbalance between desired and perceived social relationships. Several situational factors may increase loneliness in young adults. The study aimed to explore the association between parental bonding and loneliness by including childhood traumatic experiences and current psychological distress as potential mediators.

Method

A sample of 608 college students in psychology (Mage = 21.23, SD = 2.10) was consecutively enrolled. Sociodemographic characteristics, parental bonding (PBI), loneliness (UCLA), childhood traumatic emotional experiences (CTQ), anxiety (GAD-7), depressive (PHQ-9), and somatic symptoms (PHQ-15) were assessed through an online survey. After preliminarily assessing frequency distributions, descriptive statistics, and correlation, we performed a path analysis to examine both direct and indirect effects among the variables of interest.

Results

The path model showed that PBI care was negatively associated with traumatic experiences in childhood (ps ≤ 0.01). Both emotional abuse and neglect during childhood predicted higher levels of anxiety and depression (ps ≤ 0.05). Emotional abuse further predicted somatic symptoms (p < .001). Finally, loneliness was positively predicted by childhood traumatic emotional experiences, both neglect and abuse (ps < 0.001), as well as by depression (p < .001). Overall, the model explained a significant amount of variance in the UCLA scale (R² = 0.44, p < .001).

Conclusions

Childhood trauma and adult depressive symptoms mediate the link between low parental care and loneliness. Recognizing early negative parental bonding's impact allows for tailored interventions to enhance psychological well-being by addressing early attachment issues.
