Child Abuse/Neglect and Depressive Symptomatology: The Mediating Roles of Early Maladaptive Schemas
Abstract
Recently, there has been a growing interest in identifying the mechanisms of how child
abuse/neglect predicts the development of psychopathology in adulthood. In that
respect, schema therapy explains the origin of psychopathology with early maladaptive
schemas. This study aimed to explore the mediator roles of five different schema
domains between child abuse/neglect and depressive symptomatology relationship in
a university student sample. The sample of this study consisted of 414 undergraduate
and graduate students from the various universities of Turkey [312 (75.4%) female, and
102 (24.6%) male], whose ages ranged between 18 and 32 (M = 21.69, SD = 2.08).
Parallel Multiple Mediation Analysis for five schema domains showed that among all
schema domains only impaired autonomy/performance schema domain-mediated the
relationship between child abuse/neglect and depressive symptomatology. Individuals
who reported higher levels of childhood abuse and neglect tended to develop more
maladaptive schemas from impaired autonomy/performance schema domain, and as a
consequence, were at increased risk for depressive symptoms. Results were discussed
in light of the relavant literature.
