description Objective: To examine attachment style and coping strategies as potential mediating variables between childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and psychological and interpersonal functioning, in an attempt to explain variability in extent of disorder and level of functioning. Method: Eighty adolescent females, aged 14–16 years, answered questions regarding abuse history, attachment style, coping with an interpersonal stressor, depression and trauma symptomatology, and conflict with a best friend. Results: Structural equation modeling analyses indicated that attachment style mediates the effects of CSA and child abuse and neglect on coping and psychological distress. The indirect effects of CSA and other abuse through attachment accounted for most of the effects on coping and psychological distress. Avoidant and cognitive coping strategies also served as mediators in the models, accounting for most of the effects of the other variables on interpersonal conflict. Conclusions: The findings indicate that attachment style and coping strategies influence psychological and interpersonal functioning, mediating the direct effects of CSA and other types of child abuse and neglect. These results have implications for therapeutic intervention with children and adolescents who have experienced child abuse. Objectif: Examiner le style de l’attachement et les stratégies pour faire face à un problème en tant que variables médiatrices potentielles entre des abus sexuels subis durant l’enfance et le fonctionnement psychologique et interpersonnel, pour tenter d’expliquer la variablilité de l’étendue des troubles et le niveau de fonctionnement. Méthode: 80 adolescents âgées de 14 à 16 ans ont répondu à des questions portant sur des sévices passés, le style d’attachement, la façon de faire face à un stress interpersonnel, la dépression et la symptomatologie traumatique, ainsi qu’à un conflit avec leur meilleur ami. Résultats: L’analyse indique que le style d’attachement a une fonction médiatrice sur les effets des mauvais traitements et de la négligence, sur la capacité à faire face et sur la détresse psychologique. Les effets indircts des abus sexuels et autres mauvais traitements par la voie de l’attachement sont responsables de la plupart des effets sur la capacité à faire face et sur la détresse psychologique.

Objetivo: Examinar el estilo de apego y las estrategias de afrontamiento de problemas como potenciales variables mediadoras entre el abuso sexual infantil (CSA) y el funcionamiento psicológico e interpersonal, en un intento por explicar la variabilidad en la extensión del trastorno y el nivel de funcionamiento personal. Método: Ochenta mujeres adolescentes, de entre 14 y 16 años, respondieron a preguntas en relación a su historia de maltrato, su estilo de apego, su capacidad de afrontamiento de una situación estresante interpersonal, sintomatologı́a depresiva y de estrés postraumático y conflicto con su mejor amigo. Resultados: Los análisis de modelos de ecuaciones estructurales indicaron que el estilo de apego mediatiza el efecto del abuso sexual y el maltrato y abandono en el malestar psicológico y las estrategias de afrontamiento de problemas. Los efectos indirectos del abuso sexual y otras formas de maltrato a través del apego dan cuenta de la mayorı́a de los efectos en el malestar psicológico y las estrategias de afrontamiento de problemas. Las estrategias de afrontamiento evitativas y cognitivas también sirven como mediadores en los modelos, dando cuenta de la mayorı́a de los efectos de las otras variables en los conflictos interpersonales. Conclusiones: Los resultados indican que los estilos de apego y las estrategias de afrontamiento de problemas influyen en el funcionamiento psicológico e interpersonal, ejerciendo un papel mediador de los efectos directos del abuso sexual infantil y de otros tipos de maltrato y abandon infantil. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones para la intervención terapéutica con niños y adolescentes que han experimentado maltrato infantil.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0145-2134</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1873-7757</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/S0145-2134(99)00085-X</identifier><identifier>PMID: 10604070</identifier><identifier>CODEN: CABND3</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Oxford: Elsevier Ltd</publisher><subject>Adaptation, Psychological ; Adolescent ; Adolescent Development ; Adolescent girls ; Adolescents ; Attachment ; Attachment Behavior ; Attachment style ; Biological and medical sciences ; Child ; Child Abuse ; Child Abuse, Sexual - psychology ; Child Neglect ; Child Sexual Abuse ; Childhood sexual abuse ; Coping ; Coping strategies ; Depression (Psychology) ; Emotional Disturbances ; Factor Analysis, Statistical ; Female ; Females ; Humans ; Interpersonal Conflict ; Interpersonal Relations ; Interpersonal relationships ; Mediators ; Medical sciences ; Mental Health ; Midwestern States ; Object Attachment ; Psychological Characteristics ; Psychological Distress ; Psychological functioning ; Psychology.

Method: Eighty adolescent females, aged 14–16 years, answered questions regarding abuse history, attachment style, coping with an interpersonal stressor, depression and trauma symptomatology, and conflict with a best friend. Results: Structural equation modeling analyses indicated that attachment style mediates the effects of CSA and child abuse and neglect on coping and psychological distress. The indirect effects of CSA and other abuse through attachment accounted for most of the effects on coping and psychological distress.

Objectif: Examiner le style de l’attachement et les stratégies pour faire face à un problème en tant que variables médiatrices potentielles entre des abus sexuels subis durant l’enfance et le fonctionnement psychologique et interpersonnel, pour tenter d’expliquer la variablilité de l’étendue des troubles et le niveau de fonctionnement. Méthode: 80 adolescents âgées de 14 à 16 ans ont répondu à des questions portant sur des sévices passés, le style d’attachement, la façon de faire face à un stress interpersonnel, la dépression et la symptomatologie traumatique, ainsi qu’à un conflit avec leur meilleur ami. Résultats: L’analyse indique que le style d’attachement a une fonction médiatrice sur les effets des mauvais traitements et de la négligence, sur la capacité à faire face et sur la détresse psychologique. Les effets indircts des abus sexuels et autres mauvais traitements par la voie de l’attachement sont responsables de la plupart des effets sur la capacité à faire face et sur la détresse psychologique. Les stratégies pour faire face, par l’évitement ou la connaissance, ont aussi servi à la médiation dans les modèles, expliquant la plupart des effets des autres variables sur les conflits interpersonnels. Conclusions: Les résultats indiquent que le style d’attachement et les stratégies pour faire face influencent le fonctionnement psychologique et interpersonnel en médiatisant les effets directs des abus sexuels ainsi que d’autres types de mauvais traitements et de négligence sur les enfants. Ces résultats ont des implications dans l’intervention thérapeutique auprès des enfants et des adolescents qui ont subi des mauvais traitements. Objetivo: Examinar el estilo de apego y las estrategias de afrontamiento de problemas como potenciales variables mediadoras entre el abuso sexual infantil (CSA) y el funcionamiento psicológico e interpersonal, en un intento por explicar la variabilidad en la extensión del trastorno y el nivel de funcionamiento personal. Método: Ochenta mujeres adolescentes, de entre 14 y 16 años, respondieron a preguntas en relación a su historia de maltrato, su estilo de apego, su capacidad de afrontamiento de una situación estresante interpersonal, sintomatologı́a depresiva y de estrés postraumático y conflicto con su mejor amigo. Resultados: Los análisis de modelos de ecuaciones estructurales indicaron que el estilo de apego mediatiza el efecto del abuso sexual y el maltrato y abandono en el malestar psicológico y las estrategias de afrontamiento de problemas. Los efectos indirectos del abuso sexual y otras formas de maltrato a través del apego dan cuenta de la mayorı́a de los efectos en el malestar psicológico y las estrategias de afrontamiento de problemas. Las estrategias de afrontamiento evitativas y cognitivas también sirven como mediadores en los modelos, dando cuenta de la mayorı́a de los efectos de las otras variables en los conflictos interpersonales. Conclusiones: Los resultados indican que los estilos de apego y las estrategias de afrontamiento de problemas influyen en el funcionamiento psicológico e interpersonal, ejerciendo un papel mediador de los efectos directos del abuso sexual infantil y de otros tipos de maltrato y abandon infantil. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones para la intervención terapéutica con niños y adolescentes que han experimentado maltrato infantil.</abstract><cop>Oxford</cop><cop>New York, NY</cop><pub>Elsevier Ltd</pub><pmid>10604070</pmid><doi>10.1016/S0145-2134(99)00085-X</doi><tpages>17</tpages></addata></record>
