不良的童年经历（ace）与不良的心理健康有关。新兴研究表明，积极的童年经历，包括积极的自我意识以及与人类和动物的关系，在减轻早期生活逆境对心理健康结果的影响方面具有保护作用。这项研究调查了在一个年轻人的样本中，童年时期仁慈的童年经历（bce）或与宠物的关系和互动是否会缓和ace与当前心理健康症状之间的联系。从美国一所公立大学招募的学生（N = 214）完成了一项在线调查。结果显示，ace与更严重的心理健康症状（包括焦虑和抑郁）显著相关。与童年宠物狗的情感亲近和与童年宠物的积极互动都不是ace与心理健康之间关系的显著调节因子。相反，更多的bce与更好的心理健康相关，并且它们与ace的相互作用是显著的，因此，与低bce的年轻人相比，高bce的逆境暴露的年轻人报告的心理健康症状更少。研究结果强调，有必要继续研究不同的经历，这些经历可能在逆境暴露与心理健康之间的关系中起到保护作用。
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with poor mental health. Emerging research demonstrates the protective role of positive childhood experiences, including a positive sense of self and relationships with both humans and animals, in mitigating the impacts of early life adversity on mental health outcomes. This study examined whether benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) or relationships and interactions with pets during childhood moderated the link between ACEs and current mental health symptoms in a sample of young adults. Students (N = 214) recruited from a public university in the U.S. completed an online survey. The results showed that ACEs were significantly associated with worse mental health symptoms, including anxiety and depression. Neither emotional closeness to a childhood pet dog nor positive interactions with a childhood pet were significant moderators of the relationship between ACEs and mental health. In contrast, more BCEs were associated with better mental health, and their interaction with ACEs was significant such that adversity-exposed young adults with high BCEs reported fewer mental health symptoms than those with low BCEs. The results highlight the need for continued research on differential experiences that may be protective in the relationship between adversity exposures and mental health.
