Abstract：
Theoretical and empirical evidence has suggested that child maltreatment victimization is associated with rejection sensitivity. However, empirical evidence on this association is inconsistent. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to examine the overall association between child maltreatment and rejection sensitivity, and to investigate variables that may affect the strength of this association. Studies eligible for inclusion were searched in the databases: Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed, MEDLINE, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure after which relevant studies were coded. Studies were synthesized in advanced three-level meta-analytic models in R. A total of 16 studies (N = 5,335 participants) yielding 41 effect sizes were included. Results showed that child maltreatment is significantly and positively related to rejection sensitivity (mean r = 0.230; p < .001), and to a small extent. Furthermore, this association is stronger for emotional abuse (r = 0.275) than for physical abuse (r = 0.157). It is not affected by the mean age and gender distribution of primary study samples nor by sample type (community sample versus clinical sample). It is concluded that child maltreatment is a risk factor for developing rejection sensitivity later in life. Therefore, interventions for rejection sensitivity should consider potential trauma resulting from prior child maltreatment experiences.
摘要：
理论和经验证据表明，儿童虐待受害与排斥敏感性有关。然而,关于这种关联的经验证据是不一致的。因此,这项荟萃分析旨在检查儿童虐待与排斥敏感性之间的整体关联，并调查可能影响这种关联强度的变量。符合入选条件的研究在以下数据库中进行了搜索：WebofScience，科学直接，PubMed,MEDLINE,和中国国家知识基础设施，之后对相关研究进行了编码。在R中的高级三级荟萃分析模型中合成了研究。总共包括16项研究（N=5,335名参与者），产生41个效应大小。结果显示，儿童虐待与排斥反应敏感性呈显著正相关(平均r=0.230；p<.001)。在很小的程度上。此外，情感虐待（r=0.275）比身体虐待（r=0.157）的这种关联更强。它不受主要研究样本的平均年龄和性别分布的影响，也不受样本类型（社区样本与临床样本）的影响。结论是，虐待儿童是以后生活中产生排斥敏感性的危险因素。因此,对排斥反应敏感性的干预措施应考虑先前儿童虐待经历造成的潜在创伤.
