“…However, because mapping the relationship between specific types of abuse/neglect and specific types of psychotic experiences is still in its infancy, further research is warranted (Kilcommons and Morrison, 2005;Read et al, 2003). In addition, further investigation on this type of maltreatment is warranted because emotional abuse may have more damaging effects than sexual or physical abuse (Chapman et al, 2004;Kaplan et al, 1999). While most research has focused on the impact of abuse (Bernstein et al, 2003), the current study indicates that screening for a history of emotional and physical neglect may be important because the outcomes associated with neglect may differ from those associated with abuse.…”

“…However, while most research has focused on the impact of physical and sexual abuse (Bernstein et al, 2003), there is an increasing body of evidence that different types of traumatic experiences have different psychopathological outcomes. Therefore, when studying the relation between psychotic symptomatology and trauma, screening for a history of emotional abuse and neglect, physical neglect and other life-threatening events is warranted (Chapman et al, 2004;Cohen et al, 1996;Spauwen et al, 2006;Wenar and Kerig, 2006). The high numbers of psychotic experiences in detained youth could also be explained by their high rates of illegal substance use (marihuana, amphetamines and cocaine) (Vreugdenhil et al, 2003), especially because these three substances are likely to be associated with the expression of psychotic experiences (Thirthalli and Benegal, 2006).…”

“…Poor paternal relationship or maternal overprotection is also associated with increased risk of depression (Lizardi et al, 1995). In fact, there seems to be a dose-response relationship between the severity of the experience of childhood adversities and the severity of depressive episodes and overall lifetime experience of chronic depression (Chapman et al, 2004) as well as between childhood adversities and adult experience of mental health problems in general (Edwards et al, 2003).…”

Logistic regression models were used to investigate the associations adjusting for age, country of birth, socioeconomic status, emotional support, instrumental support and trust, and stratifying by sex. The accumulation hypothesis was confirmed because combined childhood and adulthood exposures to economic stress were associated with poor psychological health in a graded manner. The social mobility hypothesis was also confirmed. The critical period hypothesis was not confirmed because both childhood and adulthood economic stress remained significantly associated with poor psychological health in adulthood. Economic stress in childhood is associated with mental health in adulthood.

“…Recent research has documented the strong association between cumulative childhood adversity (CCA) and a variety of mental health outcomes including: adult major depression and depressive symptoms (Chapman, Whitfield, Felitti, Dube, Edwards, & Anda, 2004;Hammen, Henry, & Daley, 2000;Turner & Butler, 2003;, adolescent depressive symptoms and anger/aggression (Turner, Finkelhor, & Ormrod, 2006), adolescent and adult suicide attempts (Dube, Anda, Felitti, Chapman, Williamson, & Giles, 2001), and alcohol and substance use (Dube, Anda, Felitti, Edwards, & Croft, 2002;Turner & Lloyd, 2003). This research has consistently demonstrated that the accumulation of childhood adversities is associated with poorer mental health in adolescence and adulthood…”

Research studies investigating the impact of childhood cumulative adversity on adult mental health have proliferated in recent years. In general, little attention has been paid to the operationalization of cumulative adversity, with most studies operationalizing this as the simple sum of the number of occurrences of distinct events experienced. In addition, the possibility that the mathematical relationship of cumulative childhood adversity to some mental health dimensions may be more complex than a basic linear association has not often been considered. This study explores these issues with 2 waves of data drawn from an economically and racially diverse sample transitioning to adulthood in Boston, USA. A diverse set of childhood adversities were reported in high school and 3 mental health outcomes--depressed mood, drug use, and antisocial behavior--were reported 2 years later during the transition to adulthood Our results suggest that both operationalization and statistical modeling are important and interrelated and, as such, they have the potential to influence substantive interpretation of the effect of cumulative childhood adversity on adult mental health. In our data, total cumulative childhood adversity was related to depressive symptoms, drug use, and antisocial behavior in a positive curvilinear manner with incremental impact increasing as adversities accumulate, but further analysis revealed that this curvilinear effect was an artifact of the confounding of high cumulative adversity scores with the experience of more severe events. Thus, respondents with higher cumulative adversity had disproportionately poorer mental health because of the severity of the adversities they were exposed to, not the cumulative number of different types of adversities experienced. These results indicate that public health efforts targeting prevention of childhood adversities would best be aimed at the most severe adversities in order to have greatest benefit to mental health in young adulthood.
