Abstract:
The literature has linked childhood emotional abuse (CEA) to severe negative outcomes such as the development of several maladaptive personality traits and coping mechanisms. Nonetheless, its concurrent connection with neuroticism, perfectionism, and workaholism has not been explored. For the above reasons, the present study sought to investigate whether neuroticism and perfectionism mediate the relationship between CEA and workaholism, as well as evaluate the gender invariance of the model. The sample of the present research comprised 1176 young workers (50% women), aged 18-25, who completed validated self-report questionnaires. The findings highlighted significant positive direct and indirect paths, suggesting a complex interplay between CEA, neuroticism, perfectionism, and workaholism. Furthermore, the model exhibited no significant differences between genders, suggesting that the identified relationships are consistent across both women and men. The findings highlight the importance of identifying CEA and considering the adoption of trauma-informed approaches to manage its adverse effects, thereby potentially averting the onset of workaholism. Moreover, the results underline the necessity for customized preventive measures, aiming to mitigate traits associated with neuroticism and perfectionism as potential paths for successful therapeutic interventions.
摘要:
文献将儿童情绪虐待(CEA)与严重的负面结果联系起来,例如几种适应不良人格特质和应对机制的发展。尽管如此,它与神经质并存,完美主义,工作狂还没有被探索。由于上述原因,本研究试图调查神经质和完美主义是否介导CEA和工作狂之间的关系,以及评估模型的性别不变性。本研究的样本包括1176名年轻工人(50%为女性),18-25岁,完成验证的自我报告问卷。调查结果强调了显著的积极的直接和间接路径,暗示了CEA之间复杂的相互作用,神经质,完美主义,和工作狂。此外,该模型在性别之间没有显着差异,这表明所确定的关系在女性和男性之间是一致的。调查结果强调了确定CEA并考虑采用创伤知情方法来管理其不利影响的重要性,从而有可能避免工作狂的发作。此外,结果强调了定制预防措施的必要性,旨在减轻与神经质和完美主义相关的特征,作为成功治疗干预的潜在途径。
