ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the relationship between college freshman adaptation and adverse childhood events,and to explore the mediating role of personality characteristics.Methods:
A sample of 523 college freshmen from a key university in Sichuan Province was assessed with the China College Student Adjustment Scale (CCSAS),Adverse Childhood Events Questionnaire (ACEQ) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised,Short Scale for Chinese(EPQ-RSC).Results:
The rate of adverse childhood events of college freshmen was 87% in current study.The total scores of adaptation were negatively correlated with the scores of adverse childhood events influence and neuroticism (r =-0.13,-0.51,Ps < 0.01),while positively correlated with introversion-extroversion and lie (r = 0.47,0.25,Ps < 0.01).The scores of adverse childhood events influence were negatively correlated with scores of introversion-extroversion (r =-0.08,P <0.05) and lie (r =-0.12,P <0.01),while positively correlated with scores of neuroticism (r = 0.17,P < 0.01).Introversion-extroversion and neuroticism mediated the relationship between adverse childhood events influence and college freshman adaptation,the mediating effects were 51.65% and 58.10%.Conclusion:
College freshman adaptation may be closely associated with adverse childhood events influence and personality characteristics.Personality characteristics may play a mediating role between adverse childhood events influence and adaptation in college freshman.
