Effects of Child Abuse/Study Summary
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page summary of a study article. In their article "Self Structure and Childhood Maltreatment: Successful Compartmentalization and the Struggle of Integration," Researchers C.J. Showers, V. Zeigler-Hill and A. Limke report on their May, 2006 study, which examined psychological self-structure (that is, compartmentalization, self-complexity and differential importance) among college student participants who self-report maltreatment occurring prior to age 15. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between the three features of self-structure (listed above) in subjects who may tend to have significantly negative self-images due to maltreatment in childhood, which can present an obstacle to traditional forms of coping (Showers, Zeigler and Limke, 2006). A secondary goal was to investigate whether or not the features of self-structure moderate the relationship between maltreatment and psychological adjustment. No additional sources cited.
