“…The closure of schools, together with home confinement and fear of infection, may further reinforce the negative effect of single parenthood. Students with more childhood trauma were also at higher risk of new-onset PLEs, a finding that is consistent with previous studies ( Pan et al, 2019 ; Sun et al, 2017a , Sun et al, 2017b ). Negative beliefs induced by early trauma may be activated through stress-regulation systems as a result of the pandemic ( Cristobal-Narvaez et al, 2017 ), leading to the onset of PLEs.…”

Our results add to this literature by showing that maternal depression has also an adverse Previous studies showed that high levels of positive attributes and social aptitudes are not merely the absence of psychopathology [10][11][12][13]. Indeed, children presenting high levels of positive attributes had lower risk of psychiatric symptoms in the future [12].…”

“…Children's positive attributes and social aptitudes have been recently associated to beneficial outcomes, including higher educational attainment and lower risk of later psychiatric disorders [10][11][12]. Positive attributes, such as being affectionate, responsible or generous, encompass positive personality traits that are related to mental wellbeing and may protect against life stressors [12,13]. Social aptitudes comprehend the abilities of communication and interaction with others in a socially appropriated manner [14].…”

There is growing evidence that adolescent positive attributes and social aptitudes are associated with beneficial outcomes, including higher educational attainment and lower risk of later psychiatric disorder. Although maternal depression is a well-known risk factor for a variety of offspring adverse outcomes, less is known on its repercussion on children's positive behavioral traits. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of maternal depression trajectories on offspring positive attributes and social aptitudes, testing sex-moderated models for the studied association. The 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort is an ongoing cohort originally comprised by 4231 live births from Brazil. We included 3465 11-year-old adolescents (48.6% female; maternal self-reported skin color: 27.0% non-white). Maternal depressive symptoms were assessed by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) at all follow-ups. Adolescent positive attributes and social aptitudes were ascertained by specific subscales of Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA). Multivariate linear regression was used to examine the effect of maternal depression trajectories on offspring's outcomes, adjusting for potential confounding variables. Moderation was assessed with interaction terms. Adolescents from mothers who presented high-chronic levels of depressive symptoms during offspring's life have lower scores of positive attributes and social aptitudes. Boys exposed to maternal depression during their lifetime are more affected than girls regarding positive attributes, but this sex difference was not observed for social aptitudes. Interventions targeting the promotion of adaptive behavioral traits may represent an effective way to buffer the adverse impact of maternal depression on offspring development, especially for vulnerable groups such as male adolescents.

“…Given the links between childhood trauma and PLEs [23,24] and childhood trauma and pain [20][21][22], it was hypothesised that PLEs would moderate the positive relationship between childhood trauma and pain. The results of this study do not support this hypothesis, as no moderating effect of PLEs was found.…”

“…Childhood trauma is also associated with increased ratings of pain in clinical [20] and laboratory settings [21], and it is also linked with chronic pain [22]. Childhood trauma has also been found to contribute to the onset of psychotic experiences and disorders [23,24]. Given these links, research is yet to explore how childhood trauma contributes to PLEs and pain in cannabis users.…”

Research has demonstrated that cannabis use is linked with a greater risk of psychoticlike experiences (PLEs), particularly in young people. As many use cannabis for the alleviation of pain, it is important to examine the impact that PLEs have on pain. This is because current literature finds that psychotic and schizophrenic disorders impact pain experience, and PLEs are subclinical positive symptoms of psychosis. There is limited research on the impact of PLEs on pain experience, particularly in cannabis users, and thus the current study aims to address this gap in the literature. The study also examines whether childhood trauma and mental health problems contribute to the heightened risk of pain in cannabis users, and whether these relationships are moderated by PLEs. The current study was a cross-sectional design in young cannabis users aged 18-25 (N = 2630). Participants completed questionnaire measures of cannabis use, PLEs, self-reported pain, childhood trauma, anxiety, and depression. Logistic regression analyses revealed that young cannabis users experiencing more PLEs reported significantly higher pain. Additionally, experiencing a history of childhood trauma and depression were also found to result in higher pain in these cannabis users. Moderation analyses revealed that PLEs moderated the relationship between depression and pain; however, in contrast to our predictions, PLEs did not moderate the relationship between childhood trauma and pain. Anxiety did not significantly predict higher pain. The results of the current study have important implications for the use and legalisation of THC medically and the social, emotional, and cognitive aspects of pain and cannabis use. We propose recommendations for mitigating the risk of PLEs associated with cannabis use in chronic pain patients medically prescribed THC for its analgesic effects and suggestions for future research.
