“…Longitudinal studies have found that childhood maltreatment predicts reduced competence (e.g. shorter length, poorer relationship quality) and increased violence in romantic relationships in adulthood 8,[29][30][31] ; although note that not all studies have found this 32 . One study found that, after controlling for demographic characteristics, experiencing any form of maltreatment before the age of 17.5 years predicted lower levels of romantic competence (β = -.23) and higher levels of relational violence (β = .24) in adulthood.…”

“…In a meta-analysis, Stoltenborgh et al (2015) found that more than one in three adults in the United States were maltreated in childhood. Longitudinal research has consistently found that childhood maltreatment sets forth a developmental cascade that negatively contributes to adult romantic relationships (Fitzgerald, 2021; Handley et al, 2019). Specifically, childhood maltreatment is associated with impaired emotional and cognitive functioning and these problems have been shown to help explain the relationship between childhood maltreatment and relationship quality (Dunlop et al, 2015; Lassri et al, 2018).…”

“…Posttraumatic stress symptoms include a wide variety of mental health problems associated with exposure to traumatic stressors. Posttraumatic stress symptoms include depression, anxiety, dissociation, sleep issues, and anger among others (Briere & Runtz, 1989) and have a noted effect on adult's intimate relationships (Fitzgerald, 2021). For example, DiLillo et al (2009) found that posttraumatic stress symptoms mediated the relationship between childhood maltreatment and changes in relationship quality over a two-year period among a sample of newlywed adults (DiLillo et al, 2009).…”

Childhood maltreatment is linked to lower quality intimate relationships in adulthood. Although emotional pathways have been considered, there has been less of a focus on cognitive processes that may extend from maltreatment and influence the couple relationship. Additionally, while the role of mindfulness is associated with cognitive and emotional processes as well as romantic relationship outcomes, it remains understudied in survivors of maltreatment. The current study examined mindfulness, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and attributions in a sequential (serial) mediational model linking maltreatment to relationship quality. A sample of 235 adults (89.9% female; M age = 30.43) were recruited from two universities as well as an online sample. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The indirect effects from childhood maltreatment to relationship quality through posttraumatic stress symptoms and attributions were significant. The sequential indirect effect from childhood maltreatment to relationship quality through mindfulness and posttraumatic stress symptoms was significant. Findings from the current study indicate that both cognitive and emotional processes contribute to relationship quality and that mindfulness is a resilience factor reducing posttraumatic stress symptoms. Clinicians are encouraged to use mindfulness-based interventions to reduce posttraumatic stress while also considering the role of attributional processes.

Bu araştırmalar göz önüne alındığında, bireyin çocukluk deneyimlerinin ilişki öz yeterliği ile ilişkili olabileceği düşünülmektedir.…”

Bu araştırmada, beliren yetişkin eşlerin ilişki öz yeterlik ve bilinçli farkındalık düzeylerinin çocukluk deneyimlerine göre incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma grubunu Türkiye'deki 19-26 yaş aralığında bulunan ve bir eşe (sevgili, partner, nişanlı, evli vb.) sahip olan bireyler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmaya 334 kadın, 98 erkek olmak üzere toplam 432 beliren yetişkin katılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde, Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyonu ve Çoklu Doğrusal (lineer) Regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, bilinçli farkındalık ve ilişki öz yeterlik puanları arasında pozitif yönde orta düzeyde ilişki; bilinçli farkındalık ve çocukluk deneyimleri arasında ise negatif yönde düşük düzeyde ilişki bulunmuştur. Çocukluk deneyimleri ve ilişki öz yeterlik puanları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığı saptanmıştır. Çoklu regresyon analizleri sonuçlarına göre; çocukluk deneyimlerinin değersizlik içeren anılar ve tehdit edici anılar alt boyutları, ilişki öz yeterliği üzerinde anlamlı bir yordayıcıdır. Değersizlik içeren anılar arttığında alt boyutların tamamına ait puanlar; tehdit edici anılar arttığında ise farklılaşma ve karşılıklık puanları anlamlı olarak azalmaktadır. Çocukluk deneyimleri alt boyutlarından yalnızca boyun eğdirici anılar alt boyutunun bilinçli farkındalık üzerinde yordayıcı olduğu bulgulanmıştır.
