“…Child maltreatment is an important risk factor for onset and course of mental disorders (L. P. Chen et al, 2010;Lewis et al, 2019;McLaughlin et al, 2012) as well as lower life satisfaction and health-related quality of life during adolescence and adulthood (Cohrdes & Mauz, 2020;Davies, Read, & Shevlin, 2021;Weber, Jud, & Landolt, 2016;Witt, Sachser, Plener, Brähler, & Fegert, 2019). Unsurprisingly, experiencing more types of child maltreatment was additionally associated with lower life satisfaction and health-related quality of life but only emotional abuse further decreased life satisfaction when controlling for other types of child maltreatment in two studies (Cohrdes & Mauz, 2020;Witt et al, 2019).…”

Background: Child maltreatment is a common risk factor for mental disorders and decreased life satisfaction during adolescence. Using network analysis, we investigated whether child maltreatment would connect to life satisfaction both directly and through psychological symptoms, whether these relations would change from admission to discharge after treatment, and which types of maltreatment, symptoms and facets of life satisfaction would be most influential in a transdiagnostic adolescent inpatient sample.Methods: N = 896 adolescents completed questionnaires on child maltreatment experiences, current psychopathology and subjective life satisfaction at admission and discharge (n = 765). Main diagnoses were affective (n = 322), eating (n = 447), obsessive–compulsive (n = 70) and anxiety disorders (n = 57). Network models of child maltreatment, psychopathology and life satisfaction nodes were estimated at admission and discharge and compared using network comparison tests. Bridge nodes and shortest paths from child maltreatment to life satisfaction were analyzed.Results: Network models were stable with no significant differences between admission and discharge. Strongest nodes of each cluster were “emotional abuse” (child maltreatment), “worthlessness”, “thinking about dying” and “feeling lonely” (all psychopathology) and “satisfied with life” (life satisfaction) at both admission and discharge. All shortest pathways from child maltreatment to life satisfaction were directly through “emotional neglect” and “excellent life conditions”, with an indirect path from “sexual abuse” through “distrust”.Conclusions: Child maltreatment is directly connected to life satisfaction in adolescents with severe mental disorders. Emotional abuse and neglect were especially important in linking child maltreatment to life satisfaction and psychopathology.

“…The third implication is creating an adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) intake with PA recommendations. ACEs are traumatic or stressful events such as abuse, neglect, household dysfunction and other forms of adversity, such as parental divorce and substance abuse (Davies et al , 2021). Impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic caused additional stressors and challenges for students that increased their risk of experiencing ACEs.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the perception of algorithm accuracy among data professionals in higher education. Design/methodology/approach Social justice theory guided the qualitative descriptive study and emphasized four principles: access, participation, equity and human rights. Data collection included eight online open-ended questionnaires and six semi-structured interviews. Participants included higher education professionals who have worked with predictive algorithm (PA) recommendations programmed with student data. Findings Participants are aware of systemic and racial bias in their PA inputs and outputs and acknowledge their responsibility to ethically use PA recommendations with students in historically underrepresented groups (HUGs). For some participants, examining these topics through the lens of social justice was a new experience, which caused them to look at PAs in new ways. Research limitations/implications Small sample size is a limitation of the study. Implications for practice include increased stakeholder training, creating an ethical data strategy that protects students, incorporating adverse childhood experiences data with algorithm recommendations, and applying a modified critical race theory framework to algorithm outputs. Originality/value The study explored the perception of algorithm accuracy among data professionals in higher education. Examining this topic through a social justice lens contributes to limited research in the field. It also presents implications for addressing racial bias when using PAs with students in HUGs.

“…This information shows that, it is thought that mothers' childhood trauma experiences may have a determining role in the quality of their relationships with their children. Studies have been conducted on the effects of negative childhood experiences on the psychological state of individuals in the later years of life (Davies, Read & Shevlin, 2021;Hardt, Herke & Schier, 2011;Srivastav et al, 2020;Watt, Kim, Ceballos, & Norton, 2022) and their relationships with their children during the parenting process (Brogden & Gregory, 2019;Guss et al, 2020;Treat et al, 2020). At the same time, research on the negative experiences of mothers in childhood shows that attachment styles with their children and behavior problems of children (Cooke, Racine, Plamondon, Tough & Madigan, 2019;Menon, Katz, & Easterbrooks, 2019), the emotional closeness of mothers with their children (Harris et al, 2020), the physical and emotional health of their children (Madigan, Wade, Plamondon, Maguire & Jenkins, 2017;McDonald et al, 2019), their caregiving situations (Şahin-İpek & Tarlacı, 2021) and the child's traumatic experiences are related (Ezen & Açıkgöz, 2017).…”

This study aimed to examine mothers' childhood trauma situations and their relations with their children. A relational screening model was used in this research. The study group of the research consisted of 250 mothers. Personal Information Form, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and Child‒Parent Relationship Scale were used as data collection tools. The data obtained were analyzed with Pearson Product Moment Correlation Analysis. As a result of the study, it was found that there was a significant negative relationship between the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse subdimensions and emotional neglect, physical neglect subdimensions and Child Parent Relationship Scale-positive relationship subdimensions. It was found that there were positive and significant relationships between the the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse subdimensions and emotional neglect, physical neglect subdimensions and Child‒Parent Relationship Scale conflict subdimensions. There was a positive and significant relationship between Childhood Trauma Questionnaire physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse subdimensions and emotional neglect, physical neglect subdimensions and Child‒Parent Relationship Scale attachment subdimensions.
