The mediating effect of the sense of meaning in life on childhood abuse and depression

目的:探究大学生群体中生命意义对儿童期心理虐待和抑郁情绪的中介效应。方法:采用儿童心理虐待量表(CTQ-SF)、人生意义问卷(MLQ)、病人健康问卷抑郁量表(PHQ-9),对1878名在校大学生进行问卷调查。结果:(1)儿童期心理虐待中的情感虐待、躯体虐待维度和抑郁在性别上的差异有统计学意义,女生情感虐待得分高于男生(P=0.001),男生躯体虐待得分高于女生(P<0.001),女生抑郁得分高于男生(P=0.001)。(2)不同抑郁程度在儿童期心理虐待、人生意义的各个维度及其总分比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.001)。(3)儿童期创伤与抑郁得分均呈正相关(r=0.157,P<0.01),与人生意义得分呈负相关(r=-0.48,P<0.05);人生意义得分与抑郁呈负相关(r=-0.342,P<0.01)。(4)人生意义感、儿童期心理虐待和抑郁情绪的中介效应显著,占总效应的10.24%。结论:儿童期心理虐待与其抑郁关系密切,人生意义感在大学生儿童期心理虐待和抑郁间起部分中介作用。
