Abstract:
Objective:To explore the relationship between childhood emotional trauma and loneliness in the college students and the role of basic psychological needs and positive coping style.Methods:A total of 11 295 col-lege students were assessed with the UCLA Loneliness Scale,Emotional Neglect and Emotional Abuse Question-naire of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire,Basic Psychological Needs Scale,and Positive Coping Style Question-naire of the Simple Coping Style Questionnaire.Mplus 8.3 was used to analyze the mediating effect and the moder-ated mediating effect based on structural equation,and the non-parametric Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect.Results:The childhood emotional trauma was positively correlated with college students'loneli-ness(γ=0.61,P＜0.001).Basic psychological needs partially mediated the relationship between emotional trauma and loneliness(95％CI:0.45-0.49).Positive coping styles significantly moderated the first half of the path(γ=-0.10,P＜0.001)and the direct path(γ=0.05,P＜0.001)of the mediation model.Conclusion:College students'loneliness is associated with childhood emotional trauma and it is partially mediated by basic psychological needs,with positive coping playing a moderating role.
