The Relationship Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Life Satisfaction: The Chain Mediating Effect of Social Support and Psychological Resilience,With the Moderating Role of Gender
The study explores the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and life satisfaction, as well as the chain mediating effect of social support and psychological resilience, along with the moderating effect of gender. A total of 2,359 randomly selected adults were surveyed using the Revised Adverse Childhood Experience Questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale, 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Adverse childhood experiences negatively predict life satisfaction; social support and psychological resilience play separate mediating roles and chain mediating roles in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and life satisfaction; gender moderates the relationship between social support and psychological resilience. The results of this study contribute to understanding the mechanism by which adverse childhood experiences relate to the life satisfaction. This can be effectively improved by enhancing social support and psychological resilience, and considering gender differences.
