“…The reason for our result may be because females were more distressed and more prone to self-blame, developing coping strategies include withdrawal and attempted amnesia after sexual abuse than males [ 62 ]. More seriously, females were more likely to develop internalized problems such as suicidal ideation and depression, rather than aggressive behavior after suffering sexual abuse [ 63 ].…”

“…Among the males of the present study, emotional neglect mediated the association between schizoid tendencies and aggressive behaviors, and in females, emotional and sexual abuse mediated this association. Sexual abuse had a negative mediating effect between schizoid tendencies and aggressive behaviors among the females, probably because sexual abuse may mainly induce internalized problems rather than aggressive behaviors [ 63 ]. Secondly, the mediating effect of sexual abuse in this study is rather small, which may be caused by sampling error.…”

Background This study investigated an association between schizoid tendencies and aggressive behaviors in Chinese adolescents, and explored the underlying mechanism. Methods The data of 3094 adolescents aged 12 to 16 years were collected from an epidemiological survey in China. All the subjects or their parents completed the Achenbach’s Child Behavior Checklist, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form, and the Adolescent Self-rating Life Event Checklist (ASLEC). Results Relative to the non-schizoid group, adolescents with schizoid tendencies (male or female) showed significantly higher scores for aggressive behaviors, emotional abuse, and ASLEC. Regarding females only, those with schizoid tendencies had significantly higher (lower) scores for physical abuse and emotional neglect (physical neglect). The aggressive behaviors score was predicted by scores for schizoid tendencies (βmale = 0.620, βfemale = 0.638, both P < 0.001) and ASLEC (βmale = 0.125, βfemale = 0.061, both P < 0.01), and by childhood trauma score (males: emotional neglect [β = 0.045, P = 0.021]; females: emotional abuse and sexual abuse [β = 0.118 and − 0.062, both P < 0.01]). The ASLEC and childhood trauma scores mediated the association between scores for schizoid tendencies and aggressive behaviors, specifically, emotional neglect (emotional abuse and sexual abuse) in males (females). In females, the interaction between scores for childhood trauma and ASLEC affected the aggressive behaviors score (P = 0.023). Conclusions Schizoid tendencies are associated with aggressive behaviors among Chinese adolescents. Recent life events and childhood trauma mediated an association between schizoid tendencies and aggressive behaviors. The interaction between childhood trauma and recent life events affected aggressive behaviors in females. Aggressive behaviors in adolescents may be ameliorated by reducing childhood trauma and life events.

“…The one possible reason may be that girls were more distressed and were more prone to self-blame after sexual abuse and were more likely to use coping strategies of withdrawal and attempted amnesia [56]. In addition, girls who suffered from sexual abuse were more likely than boys to develop internalized problems such as suicide attempts and depression [57].…”

Background: This study investigated an association between schizoid and aggressive behaviors in Chinese adolescents, and the influences of childhood trauma and adverse life events on this association.Methods: The cross-sectional data of 3094 adolescents aged 12 to 16 years was collected from an epidemiological survey of child and adolescent mental disorders in Hunan Province, China. All these subjects completed the Achenbach’s Child Behavior Checklist, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form, and the Adolescent Self-rating Life Event Checklist. Use independent-sample t-test, Pearson’s correlation analysis, linear regression, mediation analysis and moderation analysis for data analysis.Results: The regression analysis showed that schizoid (βmale = 0.618, βfemale = 0.637, both P < 0.001) and adverse life events (βmale = 0.113, βfemale = 0.057, all P < 0.01) predicted aggressive behaviors. In addition, childhood trauma predicted aggressive behaviors (female: emotional abuse and sexual abuse (β = 0.118 and –0.062, both P < 0.01). Adverse Life events mediated the association between schizoid and aggressive behaviors in male and female adolescents. Emotional neglect in boys, and emotional abuse and sexual abuse in girls mediated the association. Only in female adolescents, the interaction between childhood trauma and life events affected the association between schizoid and aggressive behaviors (P = 0.023).Conclusions: Schizoid are associated with aggressive behaviors in Chinese adolescents. Life events and childhood trauma mediated the association between schizoid and aggressive behaviors, and the interaction between childhood trauma and life events affected girls’ aggressive behaviors. Hence, reducing childhood trauma and adverse life events can reduce the risk of aggressive behaviors in adolescents.

Childhood sexual abuse and supportive factors

Abstract: Family integrity and school attendance were weakly related with psychopathology (e.g. mental disorders or suicide attempts) in BSA survivors but not in QSA survivors. Female gender and puberty also increased the likelihood of suicide attempt in QSA survivors.
