Abstract:
Objective:To explore the moderated and mediating mechanism between childhood trauma and depressive traits, and to provide a reference for conducting the related research and intervention.
Methods:From 2017 to 2018, a cluster sampling method was adopted to select 2 786 freshman. Childhood trauma questionnaire, state-trait depression Scale, the automatic thought questionnaire and trait coping style questionnaire was administered.
Results:Regression analysis showed that childhood trauma, automatic thinking and negative coping was positively associated with depressive traits, and positive coping was negatively associated with depressive traits (β=0.12, 0.40, 0.14, -0.33, P<0.05). The mediation analysis showed that automatic thinking mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and depressive traits (95%CI=0.03-0.06). The results of moderation effect showed that negative coping moderated the relationship between childhood trauma and automatic thinking and the relationship between childhood trauma and depressive traits, respectively (P<0.05).
Conclusion:Childhood trauma affects depressive traits,and its relationship is influenced by boping styles and automatic thinking.
