A study published in Frontiers investigates the long-term impact of childhood trauma on psychological symptoms in young adults, specifically focusing on depression, anxiety, and stress. The research aims to clarify the psychological pathways through which early adverse experiences influence emotional well-being later in life.
The study examines the mediating role of vulnerable narcissism—a trait characterized by hypersensitivity, defensiveness, and fragile self-esteem—in linking childhood trauma to mental health struggles. Additionally, researchers analyzed psychological resilience as a moderating factor to determine whether adaptive coping resources can help offset the negative effects of early life stress.
