“…Recent studies have shown that the CTQ-SF is much higher in methamphetamine patients than in healthy populations, almost twice as higher [20]. Through analysis of H2, our study found that the high CTQ is associated with higher ATS.…”

“…According to Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, individuals are embedded in a series of interactive environmental systems that deeply affect their growth and development [19]. Previous research has found that drug addicts who have experienced childhood abuse are more likely to exhibit aggressive behaviors [20]. The family, as the most direct microsystem, has the greatest impact on individuals.…”

Background: The negative consequences of drug addiction can include increased aggression, and previous research has suggested a correlation between drug addiction and self-harm. However, the relationship between childhood trauma, self-aggression, and drug addiction has not been extensively investigated. Methods: The present study to explore the influence of childhood trauma on self-aggression in drug users under the age of 16, used the benefits and barriers model. The study analyzed the distal factors of self-aggressive intention in compulsory drug addicts and examined the mediating role of sense of life meaning as a barrier factor and sensation seeking as a benefit factor. To collect data, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), the Presence of Meaning in Life (MLQ-P), the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale (BSSS), and Aggression toward Self Scale (ATS) were administered to 625 male compulsory detoxification patients in a Sichuan compulsory detoxification facility. Results: The results showed no significant difference in self-aggression between methamphetamine and heroin addicts and identified a significant mediating effect of MLQ-P as a barrier factor and BSSS as a beneficial factor in predicting self-aggression. Conclusions: This study confirmed the applicability of the benefits and barriers model in the drug addicts, and proposed a parallel mediation model of CTQ affecting ATS with MLQ-P and BSSS as mediator variables. It can provide a theoretical basis for intervention in the recovery of drug addicts.
