“…EA predicted all forms of psychological symptoms, with larger effect sizes for interpersonal sensitivity, depression, and paranoid ideation, 18 possibly by impairing the development of cognitive structures for social interactions and providing a basis for the occurrence of symptoms displaying interpersonal components. 19 Experiencing verbal abuse throughout childhood was frequently self-reported, and was significantly associated with adult psychological distress. 18 In another recent study with a sample involving distinct psychiatric disorders, Martins et al 20 found that EA, among different types of early life stresses, was positively associated with psychopathology in adulthood, especially with mood disorders.…”

Objective: To investigate associations between a history of childhood trauma and dimensions of depression in a sample of clinically depressed patients. Methods: A sample of 217 patients from a mood-disorder outpatient unit was investigated with the Beck Depression Inventory, the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, the CORE Assessment of Psychomotor Change, and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. A previous latent model identifying six depressive dimensions was used for analysis. Path analysis and Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) models were used to investigate associations between general childhood trauma and childhood maltreatment modalities (emotional, sexual, and physical abuse; emotional and physical neglect) with dimensions of depression (sexual, cognition, insomnia, appetite, non-interactiveness/ retardation, and agitation). Results: The overall childhood trauma index was uniquely associated with cognitive aspects of depression, but not with any other depressive dimension. An investigation of childhood maltreatment modalities revealed that emotional abuse was consistently associated with depression severity in the cognitive dimension. Conclusion: Childhood trauma, and specifically emotional abuse, could be significant risk factors for the subsequent development of cognitive symptoms of major depression. These influences might be specific to this depressive dimension and not found in any other dimension, which might have conceptual and therapeutic implications for clinicians and researchers alike.

“…Mental disorders that emerge during adulthood are associated with childhood abuse and neglect, maltreatment, and other childhood traumatic experiences (Güleç et al, 2012;Middeldorp, Cath, Dyck and Boomsma, 2005). These disorders include mood (Spinhoven et al, 2010) and anxiety (Wright, Crawford and Castillo, 2009) disorders, emotional distress, and post-traumatic stress disorder (Whiffen and MacIntosh, 2005).…”

This study examined the mediating role of resilience and gender in the relationship between adults' childhood period traumatic experiences and psychological symptoms. The participants of the research consisted of 276 adults, from whom data were collected using the Short Symptom Inventory, the Traumatic Childhood Experiences Scale, and the Adult Resilience Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied, along with path analysis and mediator test. Results indicated that adults' childhood traumatic experiences had a positively significant effect on their psychological symptoms as well as a negative effect on their resilience. Furthermore, resilience had a mediating role in the relationship between childhood traumatic experiences and psychological symptoms. These findings can guide future studies that aim to determine which factors have a positive effect on adults' psychological symptoms, in order to help prevent childhood traumatic experiences and increase their resilience.

Yetiþkin örneklem üzerinde ve geriye dönük tarama þeklinde yapýlmýþ pek çok çalýþmada, erken dönem uyumsuz þemalarla ebeveynin olumsuz davranýþlarý arasýnda bir iliþki bulunmuþtur (16,17). Çocuða bakým verme iþlevi yerine getirilmediði ya da bakým verenlerin olumsuz iþlevlere sahip olduðu ortamda yetiþen bireyler bir sosyal gruba ait olamayacaðý, duygusal iliþki gereksinimlerinin yeterince karþýlanamayacaðý, duygularýný göz ardý etmesi gerektiði ve diðerlerinin onu inciteceði gibi olumsuz inançlar geliþtirebilirler.…”

SUMMARYObjective: This study was designed to examine the relationship between early maladaptive schemas, parenting styles, psychological symptoms and the need threats in university students. Method: The sample of the study consisted of 133 undergraduate students studying at Hacettepe University. Aforementioned variables were assessed by Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form 3, The Turkish versions of the Young Parenting Inventory, Symptom Assesment Inventory, Need Threat Scale. Results: A series of regression analyses revealed that perceived paternal Conditional/Success-Oriented parenting style predicted the decrease in self esteem. The Pessimistic/Anxious paternel parenting style predicted the increase in self esteem. Extreme Permissive/Unlimited and Pessimistic/Anxious paternal parenting styles predicted the increase in the need of control. On the other hand paternal Punitive parenting style predicted the decrease in perceived control. Analyzing the relationship between psychological symptoms and self-esteem, results showed that the increase in anxiety score predicted the increase in self esteem and phobic anxiety predicted the decrease in self esteem. Moreover, the decrease in self-esteem predicted by the increase in interpersonal sensitivity. Finally, analyses showed that there is no significant relationship between schema domains and basic need threats. Conclusion: In conclusion, findings pointed out the predictive power of early maladaptive schemas, perceived parenting styles and psychological symptoms on need threats.
