UNASSIGNED: We recruited 149 healthy individuals with and without maltreatment experiences and used the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale IV (WAIS-IV) and a computerized battery to analyze cognitive function.
UNASSIGNED: Both the WAIS-IV and computerized tests revealed that individuals with a history of childhood maltreatment had decreased cognitive function, especially in terms of working memory and processing speed. These individuals tended to employ maladaptive emotion regulation strategies. Among cognitive functions, working memory is negatively related to maladaptive emotion regulation strategies such as catastrophizing.
UNASSIGNED: This study highlights the effects of childhood maltreatment on cognitive function in young adulthood. Moreover, the study suggests clinical implications of cognitive interventions for improving emotion regulation and cognitive function in individuals with a history of childhood maltreatment.
■我们招募了149名有或没有虐待经历的健康个体,并使用韦克斯勒成人智力量表IV(WAIS-IV)和计算机化电池来分析认知功能。
WAIS-IV和计算机测试均显示,有儿童虐待史的个体认知功能下降,特别是在工作记忆和处理速度方面。这些人倾向于采用适应不良的情绪调节策略。在认知功能中,工作记忆与灾难化等适应不良情绪调节策略呈负相关。
■这项研究强调了儿童虐待对青年期认知功能的影响。此外,这项研究表明认知干预对于改善有儿童虐待史的个体的情绪调节和认知功能具有临床意义。
