童年的经历会对成年人的心理状况产生巨大的影响。先前的研究已经证实了不良童年经历（ACE）和仁慈童年经历（BCE）对心理困扰的影响（例如，压力，抑郁和自杀意念），但很少有研究探讨ACE和BCE对心理困扰的综合影响。本研究的目的是探讨ACE和BCE对中国大学生心理困扰的联合作用。参与者是17-24岁的本科生（N = 1，816），并完成了自我报告问卷。进行了一系列回归分析，以检查童年经历和心理困扰之间的关联。65.7%的本科生有BCE，27.1%的本科生有ACE，12.9%的本科生同时有ACE和BCE。Logistic回归分析显示，经历高ACE的大学生更容易有心理困扰[不确定性应激、抑郁症状和自杀意念的比值比（OR）分别为1.46、1.84和3.15]，而经历高BCE的大学生更不容易有心理困扰（OR = 0.33，0.22，和0.32的不确定性压力，抑郁症状，自杀意念分别）与低两组相比。ACE和BCE的联合作用（高两项组）对不确定性应激（OR = 0.56）和抑郁症状（OR = 0.47）也有保护作用。我们的研究结果表明，ACE和BCE不仅可以独立预测心理困扰，而且BCE可以抵消ACE对心理问题的负面影响。现在更有必要查明和支助儿童早期教育的受害者，并增加幼儿期的儿童早期教育。
Childhood experiences can exert a huge impact on adult psychological conditions. Previous studies have confirmed the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) on psychological distress (e.g., stress, depression, and suicidal ideation) separately, but few studies explored a combined effect of ACEs and BCEs on psychological distress. The aim of this study was to explore a combined effect of ACEs and BCEs on psychological distress among Chinese undergraduates. Participants were undergraduates aged 17–24 years (N = 1,816) and completed a self-reported questionnaire. A series of regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between childhood experiences and psychological distress. A total of 65.7% of undergraduates had BCEs, 27.1% of undergraduates had ACEs, and 12.9% of undergraduates had ACEs and BCEs simultaneously. Logistic regression analysis indicated that undergraduates who experienced high ACEs were more likely to have a high risk of psychological distress [odds ratio (ORs) = 1.46, 1.84, and 3.15 for uncertainty stress, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation, respectively], while undergraduates who experienced High BCEs were less likely to have psychological distress (ORs = 0.33, 0.22, and 0.32 for uncertainty stress, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation, respectively) compared with Low-Both group. The combined effect of ACEs and BCEs (High-Both group) could also play as a protective factor in uncertainty stress (OR = 0.56) and depressive symptoms (OR = 0.47). Our findings suggested that ACEs and BCEs could not only predict the psychological distress independently, but also BCEs could counteract the negative effect of ACEs in psychological problems. There is an even greater need to identify and support the victims of ACEs and to increase BCEs in early childhood.
