儿童虐待（CM）会破坏自我发展，影响形成积极关系的能力，包括浪漫依恋。虽然心理健康是已知的虐待史和浪漫关系的中介，但对自我认知的作用知之甚少。目的本研究的目的是了解自我知觉在青春期和青年期CM史与恋爱关系之间的关系中所起的作用。我们收集了来自儿童福利和比较青少年的纵向数据，以检验自我知觉是否介导了CM史与积极恋爱关系比例之间的关联。T1时平均年龄11.03岁，T4时平均年龄18.24岁。方法CM组研究对象来自西海岸某大城市儿童保护服务中心的活跃病例。比较组是从居住在相同10个邮政编码的学校名单中招募的孩子的名字。评估在一所城市研究型大学进行。在获得同意后，对青少年进行问卷调查。在目前的分析中，只有那些表示自己曾经有过恋爱关系的人被包括在内（n= 306）。采用Mplus 7.0中的路径建模对假设进行检验。结果scm病史与各领域的自我认知水平较低有关。只有行为自我知觉（β= 0.15,p=0.02）和学业自我知觉（β= -0.14,p=0.04）能预测日后积极恋爱关系的比例。仅对行为自我知觉有显著的中介效应。结论以自我认知和积极行为参与为目的的干预措施可以增强具有CM和儿童福利经历的青少年的积极关系。
BackgroundChild maltreatment (CM) can disrupt the development of self, influencing the ability to form positive relationships, including romantic attachment. While mental health is a known mediator of maltreatment history and romantic relationships, less is known about the role of self-perception.ObjectiveThe goal of this work is to understand the role self-perception plays in the association between CM history and romantic relationships during adolescence and young adulthood.ParticipantsLongitudinal data from child welfare involved and comparison youth were gathered to examine whether self-perception mediated the association between CM history and the proportion of positive romantic relationships. Mean age at T1 was 11.03 years and 18.24 years at T4.MethodsParticipants in the CM group were recruited from active Child Protective Services cases in a large west coast city. The comparison group was recruited using names from school lists of children residing in the same 10 zip codes. Assessments were conducted at an urban research university. After assent/consent were obtained, the adolescent was administered questionnaires. For the current analyses, only those who indicated they had ever had a romantic relationship were included (n= 306). Hypotheses were tested used path modeling in Mplus 7.0.ResultsCM history was associated with lower self-perceptions in all domains. Only behavioral (β= 0.15,p=0.02) and scholastic (β= -0.14,p=0.04) self- perceptions predicted proportion of later positive romantic relationships. A significant mediation effect was found only for behavioral self- perceptions.ConclusionsInterventions aimed at bolstering self- perceptions and engagement in positive behaviors could strengthen positive relationships for youth with CM and child welfare experiences.
