Avoidant/ambivalent attachment style as a mediator between abusive childhood experiences and adult relationship difficulties
Article Abstract:
Studies have shown that abusive childhood experiences are linked to difficulties in establishing supportive cohabiting relationships during adulthood. A study aims to identify specific psychological factors mediating links between child abuse and adverse adult psychological functioning. Participants who had experienced child abuse were more likely to experience difficulties in adult love relationships, but self-esteem and relationship attributions were not found to be linked to child abuse.
