Abstract

Background

The existing literature has already established the connection between childhood maltreatment and suicidal behavior. However, it is imperative to delve deeper into comprehending the potential mediation and moderation mechanisms that operate between them, especially when considering a developmental perspective.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate a chain mediation model in which childhood maltreatment influences suicidal behavior through social-emotional competency and thwarted interpersonal needs (TIN) and explored the moderating role of state self-compassion in the model.

Participants and setting

A sample of 1660 Chinese adolescents (51.93 % boys; M_age = 13.51; SD = 0.83) enrolled in junior middle school was selected as participants for this study. They were required to complete self-administered questionnaires at three intervals spanning a period of one year.

Method

The proposed moderated chain mediation model was examined through structural equation modeling with Mplus 8.0 software.

Results

Social-emotional competency and TIN at T2 sequentially mediated the relations between childhood maltreatment at T1 and suicidal behavior at T3. Furthermore, state self-compassion at T2 moderated the relations between TIN at T2 and suicidal behavior at T3.

Conclusions

The findings provided valuable insights into the underlying mechanism linking childhood maltreatment and suicidal behavior over development, emphasizing the potential of interventions targeting social-emotional competency, TIN, and state self-compassion in serving as preventive measures to disrupt the developmental pathway from childhood maltreatment to adolescent suicidal behavior.

童年虐待对青少年自杀行为的纵向影响：一个有调节的链式中介模型

现有的文献已经建立了童年虐待和自杀行为之间的联系。然而，有必要更深入地了解在它们之间运作的潜在调解和调节机制，特别是在考虑发展的角度时。目的探讨儿童虐待通过社会情绪能力和挫折人际需要影响自杀行为的链式中介模型，并探讨状态自我同情在该模型中的调节作用。参与者和环境1660名中国青少年(51.93%为男孩；法师= 13.51；SD = 0.83)的初中生为研究对象。他们被要求在一年的时间间隔内完成三份自我管理的问卷。方法利用Mplus 8.0软件建立结构方程模型，对所提出的调节链中介模型进行检验。结果社会情绪能力和TIN在儿童虐待与自杀行为的关系中依次起中介作用。此外，T2的状态自我同情调节了T2的TIN与T3的自杀行为之间的关系。结论研究结果为儿童虐待与自杀行为过度发展之间的潜在机制提供了有价值的见解，强调了针对社会情绪能力、TIN和状态自我同情的干预措施在破坏儿童虐待到青少年自杀行为的发展途径方面的潜力。

期刊介绍： Official Publication of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal, provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment; the scope extends further to all those aspects of life which either favor or hinder child development. While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the Journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organizations to contribute.
