Relationships between abuse in childhood, coping stress strategies and psychological adjustment
Coping strategies may influence relationship between childhood experience and later adjustment (Fergusson & Horwood, 2003). The aim of this study was to examine the role of coping strategies as mediators of adult adjustment following childhood maltreatment among college students. Experience of abusive or neglectful behaviours during childhood was assessed by the Comprehensive Child Maltreatment Scales for Adults (Higgins & McCabe, 2001). The Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (Endler & Parker, 1990) was used to assess coping strategies, while psychological adjustment was assessed by The Trauma Symptom Checklist 40 (Briere & Runtz, 1989). The results showed that experience of neglect predicted emotion-oriented coping, while witnessing family violence had significant predictive power for avoidance coping. Problem-oriented coping strategies ensured a better psychosocial adaptation than emotion-oriented strategies. Results indicate that coping strategies are important variables in understanding the relationship between traumatic events during childhood and later adjustment.
