“…This measure has been widely used among Chinese students. It has been shown well reliability and well valid in previous research ( Zhang and Lyu, 2017 ; Liu F. et al, 2020 ; Li et al, 2021 ). Confirmatory factor analyses were also conducted (CFAs) to examine the five dimensions.…”

To investigate the relationships among child psychological abuse and neglect (CPAN), children’s learning engagement, family socioeconomic status (family SES), and children’s academic achievement, 271 children (Mage = 9.41 ± 0.81 years old) and their parents participated in this study with a longitudinal design. Results revealed that learning engagement at T1 mediated the relationship between CPAN at T1 and academic achievement at T2 when gender, age, grade, and academic achievement at T1 were under control. Family SES at T1 moderated the relationship between children’s learning engagement at T1 and academic achievement at T2. The association between learning engagement and academic achievement was stronger among children from lower family SES. Our findings highlighted the negative impact of CPAN and the critical role of learning engagement in children’s academic achievement, especially for those from low SES families.

“…The results show that CSA is significantly positively correlated with depressive symptoms. This is consistent with previous studies which have found that adolescents who experience traumatic events are more likely to develop mental health problems ( Keiley et al, 2001 ; Brown et al, 2016 ; Li et al, 2023 ). CSA was significantly positively correlated with depressive symptoms in college students ( Zhang et al, 2022 ), and CSA had a positive predictive effect on depressive symptoms in female adolescents and adults ( Trickett et al, 2011 ; Girard et al, 2021 ).…”

ObjectiveChildhood sexual abuse (CSA) can have a negative impact on women’s psychological, emotional and social functioning. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between CSA and depressive symptoms in female college students, as well as the mediating roles of negative core schema and experiential avoidance.Methods515 female college students responded to the Sexual Abuse subscale of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Depression subscale of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, the Brief Core Schema Scales, and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire – II. The structural equation modeling was used for the mediation analysis.ResultsThere was a significant positive correlation between CSA and depressive symptoms in female college students. The theoretical model was well fitted, χ2/df = 3.422, RMSEA = 0.069, CFI = 0.929, TLI = 0.919. The negative core schema played a mediating role between CSA and depressive symptoms. Experiential avoidance played a mediating role between CSA and depressive symptoms. The negative core schema and experiential avoidance played a serial mediating role between CSA and depressive symptoms.ConclusionThese results deepen our understanding of the relationship between CSA and depressive symptoms in female college students, and provide theoretical guidance for the prevention of depression in female college students. Attention should be paid to female college students who have experienced CSA, to eliminate the adverse influence of negative core schema on these students. Meanwhile, we should teach female college students to accept themselves as they are, and thereby reduce their use of experiential avoidance strategies.

“…A study reported that resilience was positively associated with life satisfaction among 282 Chinese college students [ 30 ]. A study indicated that resilience predicted later life satisfaction among 249 Chinese adolescents based on a longitudinal study [ 31 ], and these results were confirmed other studies [ 32 , 33 ].…”

Although some studies have explored the relationships between childhood maltreatment and life satisfaction, few studies have explored the pathways between those two variables in a sample of student preschool teachers. The current study, thus, attempts to explore the relationships between childhood maltreatment and life satisfaction in Chinese student preschool teachers and to examine the roles of resilience and social support in those relationships. A total of 1218 students majoring in early childhood education were recruited from three Chinese universities to attend this study. Self-reported questionnaires were used to collect data, and structural equation modeling was used to perform data analysis. Results showed that childhood maltreatment was negatively associated with life satisfaction in Chinese student preschool teachers; resilience and social support mediated those relationships. The findings suggest that childhood maltreatment not only has a direct relationship with life satisfaction, but also has an indirect relationship with life satisfaction via resilience and social support. Childhood maltreatment should be considered when enrolling student preschool teachers, and increasing levels of resilience and social support should be meaningful approaches when cultivating student preschool teachers who have experienced childhood maltreatment.
