“…The internal consistency of the instrument was satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha of 0.89). Regarding validity indexes, an earlier study (Nunes, Rezende, Silva, & Mansur-Alves, 2015) showed that the total score of this questionnaire was positively correlated with impulsivity levels (r = 0.48, p < 0.001) and with history of childhood traumas (correlations between 0.12 and 0.34, p < 0.001), both of which are frequently pointed out as related to the diagnosis of BPD. It should be emphasized that this questionnaire does not attempt to diagnose borderline personality disorder, it only informs about the number of symptoms of the disorder that would be present in the participants.…”

The present study analyzes the relationship between maladaptive beliefs, personality traits, and Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms by focusing in the mediating role of beliefs in the prediction between personality and psychiatric disorders. The sample consisted of 823 adults aged between 18 and 39 years (M = 24.09, SD = 4.71), who answered a questionnaire of symptoms and beliefs for Borderline Personality Disorder and Big Five Personality Inventory. The predictive model that fit better to the data indicates Neuroticism and Conscientiousness as predictors of Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms, mediated by maladaptive belief patterns. In this sense, it is possible to conclude that both personality traits and maladaptive beliefs are important for the understanding of Borderline Personality Disorder. The theoretical implications of this result and the limitations of the study are discussed.

“…17 Research also indicates that mental disorders arise from the interaction between biological and environmental factors. 18,19 In this sense, data show several correlations between maltreatment in childhood and psychiatric disorders developed in adolescence and adulthood. 20,21 Studies indicate that anxiety disorders and depressive disorders (internalizing disorders), substance use disorders and antisocial behavior (externalizing disorders); as well as suicidal behaviors are the ones most associated and predicted in cases of abuse and neglect.…”

“…[14][15][16][17] Being exposed to these harmful acts at an early age generates greater symptom chronicity and duration. 18,19 The symptoms that appear due to abuse and neglect are heterogeneous. They vary in types of symptoms, the form of clinical presentation, severity, and evolution.…”

INTRODUCTION:Childhood maltreatment is extremely harmful to health, especially regarding the development of psychiatric disorders throughout life. The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence and types of maltreatment and investigate the association between maltreatment and anxiety and depressive symptoms, sociodemographic variables, and risk behaviors in a sample of school adolescents. The study also identified which variables were Trends Psychiatry Psychother -Pre-Proof -http://doi.org/10.47626/2237-6089-2021-0456 the greatest predictors of anxiety and depressive symptoms. METHOD: We conducted a crosssectional study with a sample of 654 students aged 11 to 17 years. We collected sociodemographic data and applied the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS-47) to measure anxiety and depressive symptoms, and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) to evaluate maltreatment and adverse experiences in childhood and adolescence, like abuse and negligence. Statistical analyses were made to obtain correlations between sociodemographic data, anxiety, depression, and types of maltreatment. Also, a regression analysis was made to identify the maltreatment types that predict psychological symptoms. RESULTS:Emotional abuse and emotional neglect are the most prevalent types of maltreatment. Statistically, emotional abuse was the maltreatment most correlated with depression and anxiety and tended to co-occur simultaneously with other types of maltreatment. Also, emotional and sexual abuse were the greatest predictors of anxiety and depression in adolescence. Conclusion: The above results reinforce the findings of previous studies in terms of understanding the effects of maltreatment. They point to emotional abuse as the main predictor of depressive and anxiety symptoms.
