Abstract：
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been linked to many negative outcomes in prior psychological literature. Previous studies have shown that ACEs are related to sleep problems (e.g., trouble falling and staying asleep) and sleep problems are related to resilience outcomes. However, there are far fewer studies that examine whether sleep quality, regularity, and insomnia symptoms mediate the relationship between ACEs and resilience. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to analyze the mediating role of sleep problems on the relationship between ACEs and resilience. Emerging adult participants between the ages of 18-25 (N = 501) were recruited online via Mechanical Turk (n = 243) and from a mid-size university research participant pool in the Northwestern United States (n = 258). Participants completed questionnaires online concerning ACEs, sleep problems (i.e., quality, regularity, and insomnia symptoms), and resilience (i.e., psychological well-being, social well-being, life satisfaction, and effortful control). Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data cross-sectionally. The latent construct of sleep problems was found to mediate the relationship between ACEs and the latent construct of resilience. These results suggest that sleep quality, regularity, and insomnia symptoms may be important targets for intervention when treating individuals with ACEs to increase their resilience.
摘要：
在先前的心理学文献中，不良的童年经历（ACE）与许多负面结果有关。以前的研究表明，ACE与睡眠问题有关(例如，难以入睡和保持睡眠)和睡眠问题与弹性结果有关。然而,研究睡眠质量的研究要少得多，规律性，失眠症状介导ACE与韧性之间的关系。因此,本研究的目的是分析睡眠问题在ACE与心理弹性关系中的中介作用.通过MechanicalTurk（n=243）和美国西北部的中型大学研究参与者（n=258）在线招募了年龄在18-25岁之间的新兴成年参与者。参与者在线填写了关于ACE的问卷，睡眠问题(即，质量,规律性，和失眠症状)，和弹性(即，心理健康，社会福祉,生活满意度,和努力控制)。采用结构方程模型对数据进行横截面分析。发现睡眠问题的潜在结构介导了ACE与弹性的潜在结构之间的关系。这些结果表明，睡眠质量，规律性，失眠症状可能是治疗ACEs患者以增强其复原力的重要干预目标。
