Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: The experience of several adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) has been shown to be associated with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Disturbances in Self-Organization (DSO) symptoms among adolescents. Defense mechanisms and coping styles are psychological processes involved in the association of ACEs with PTSD and DSO symptoms. However, there is a lack of research on the joint association of these variables among Faroese adolescents.
UNASSIGNED: The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of exposure to ACEs on PTSD and DSO symptoms trough the indirect effect of defense mechanisms and coping styles in a sample of Faroese adolescents.
UNASSIGNED: Six hundred and eighty-seven Faroese adolescents were recruited from 19 schools. Participants responded to validated self-report questionnaires. A multiple step mediation and a serial mediation methodology were conducted through structural equation modeling.
UNASSIGNED: Exposure to ACEs was linked to PTSD and DSO symptoms through the indirect effect of immature defense mechanisms, emotional coping, and detachment coping. Exposure to ACEs was linked to PTSD symptoms through rational coping.
UNASSIGNED: The results suggest a mutual relationship between defense mechanisms and coping styles in coping with multiple adversity among adolescents.
摘要:
一些不良童年经历(ACE)的经历已被证明与青少年的创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)和自我组织障碍(DSO)症状有关。防御机制和应对方式是参与ACE与PTSD和DSO症状关联的心理过程。然而,缺乏关于法罗群岛青少年之间这些变量的联合关联的研究.
这项研究的目的是通过防御机制和应对方式的间接影响,分析暴露于ACEs对PTSD和DSO症状的影响。
从19所学校招募了687名法罗群岛青少年。参与者回答了经过验证的自我报告问卷。通过结构方程模型进行了多步骤调解和串行调解方法。
通过不成熟防御机制的间接作用,暴露于ACE与PTSD和DSO症状有关,情绪应对,和超脱应对。通过合理应对,ACEs暴露与PTSD症状相关。
结果表明,在应对青少年多重逆境中,防御机制与应对方式之间存在相互关系。
