The effect of childhood trauma on complex posttraumatic stress disorder: the role of self-esteem

ABSTRACT Background: Due to the short time that complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) has been an independent diagnosis, few studies have explored the role that self-esteem might play in the relationship between childhood trauma and CPTSD. Objective: The current study aimed to explore the impact of childhood trauma on CPTSD and the role of self-esteem in this relationship. Methods: Study 1 involved a questionnaire survey in which a total of 360 young Chinese adults with childhood trauma participated. Study 2 used experimental research by manipulating short-term self-esteem to explore the effect of self-esteem on CPTSD. A total of 80 young Chinese adults with childhood trauma participated. Results: The results of Study 1 showed that childhood trauma positively predicts adulthood CPTSD, while self-esteem partially mediates the relationship between the two. It also found that self-esteem has a greater mediating effect on the disordered self-organization (DSO) dimension of CPTSD than on the PTSD dimension. In Study 2, participants in the high manipulated-self-esteem group reported fewer CPTSD symptoms than those in the low manipulated-self-esteem group. Conclusion: Overall, this study emphasized the role of self-esteem in CPTSD among individuals with a childhood trauma history. In practice, we provided a potential optimization direction for CPTSD clinical treatment, suggesting a method of self-esteem reconstruction.

The Role of Self-Esteem in Protecting Against Cyber-Victimization and Gaming Disorder Symptoms Among Adolescents: A Temporal Dynamics Analysis.

Previous literature has suggested that victimization is linked to low self-esteem and increases the symptoms of gaming disorder. However, little is known about the intra-individual processes, and the temporal dynamics of cyber-victimization, self-esteem, and gaming disorder symptoms. To address this gap, a three-year longitudinal study was performed using data collected at six different time points from 4206 Chinese adolescents (aged 12-17 years; 50.4% boys). Results of random intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPMs) indicated that at the within-person level, the fluctuation in self-esteem weakly predicted late cyber-victimization, and the fluctuation of cyber-victimization also weakly predicted late self-esteem. Additionally, the current study identified an interactive effect between self-esteem and gaming disorder symptoms at the within-person level. Fluctuations in self-esteem negatively predicted late gaming disorder symptoms, and vice versa. However, when combining the three variables (i.e., cyber-victimization, self-esteem, and gaming disorder symptoms) into one RI-CLPM, the results did not support the mediation of self-esteem in the relationship between cyber-victimization and gaming disorder symptoms at the within-person level. Moreover, fluctuations in self-esteem negatively predicted late gaming disorder symptoms and cyber-victimization at the within-person level in the RI-CLPM. These findings emphasize the protective role of self-esteem developed against cyber-victimization and gaming disorder symptoms among adolescents.

Adverse childhood experiences and mental health among incarcerated women: Self-esteem as a mediating mechanism

BackgroundAdverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and mental health problems are interrelated. However, less is known about this relationship in incarcerated women and how self-esteem impacts this relationship. ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between ACEs and mental health problems (traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety) in incarcerated women with opioid use disorder (OUD) and, the possible role of self-esteem as a mediator of the relationship. Participants and settingIncarcerated women (N = 500) were randomly selected from eight Kentucky jails, screened for OUD, and interviewed by research staff. MethodsRegression analyses and mediation models were used to examine the relationship between ACEs, mental health, and self-esteem. ResultsACEs were positively correlated with present mental health problems (traumatic stress, r = 0.407, p < .001; depression, r = 0.177, p < .001; and anxiety, r = 0.213, p < .001) and negatively correlated with current self-esteem (r = −0.241, p < .001). Linear regression analyses established that ACEs and self-esteem were significantly related to all three mental health variables of interest. Additionally, self-esteem mediated the relationship between ACEs and mental health. ConclusionThis study shows that incarcerated women's experiences with ACEs are significantly related to poor mental health. Self-esteem plays a critical role in this relationship.

The role of self-esteem on nomophobia with extraversion personality as a moderating variable

Nomophobia is an individual’s propensity to use smartphones excessively, resulting in feelings of anxiety and panic when away from their devices. Individuals with high self-esteem are typically affable and optimistic, and vice versa. Smartphones are used to escape their disdain for themselves or as a platform for expressing emotions directly or via social media. People who use smartphones excessively in every aspect of their lives will develop a physical dependence on them and become anxious and concerned when they cannot access them. This study examines the relationship between self-esteem and nomophobia using extraversion as a moderating variable. A total of 105 individuals between 18 and 24 were selected using the quota sampling method to participate in this study. The regression test results demonstrate the role of the two predictor variables in extraversion. Moreover, based on the PROCESS model 4 developed by Hayes, it was discovered that the extraversion personality variable had a minor potential to moderate the relationship between self-esteem and nomophobia, thereby providing a buffering effect despite this potential. The frequency of moderation is 0.102, or 10.20%. This indicates that extraversion moderates the impact of self-esteem on nomophobia by 10.20%

Examining the Relationship Between Social Support and Social Media Addiction: Role of Self-Esteem

Examining the Relationship Between Social Support and Social Media Addiction: Role of Self-Esteem

The Effect of Gratitude Intervention on Life Satisfaction of University students: The Role of Self-Esteem

Gratitude education is very common in traditional Chinese education. Gratitude is both an emotion and a trait (Rash et al.,2011). It is a tendency to perceive benefits bestowed by others or by some impersonal source, and accompanied by positive, social emotions (Lin C.C.,2015). As a trait, gratitude draws attention to positive outcomes in life (Emmons et al.,2019). Furthermore, this project chooses life satisfaction and self-esteem as variables in the research. ‘Life satisfaction is a subjective evaluation of overall quality of life’，and is the key dimension of subjective well-being (Proctor et al.,2009). Self-esteem is a sense of individuals’ general value or worth from his or her aspects (Rosenberg, 1979). Self-esteem is commonly considered as the “feeling that one is good enough” (Orth &amp; Robins,2014). Life satisfaction and self-esteem are often used in studies of gratitude，but few of them find the complicated correlations between these three factors. So the purpose of this project is to explore whether gratitude interventions can enhance gratitude and subsequently increase life satisfaction and self-esteem.

Emotion Regulation as the Role Moderator of Self-Esteem on Adolescents Fear of Missing Out

Fear of missing out (FoMO) is derived from the anxiety that arises when an individual feels excluded from informational and experiential aspects due to exposure to social media. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the contribution of emotion regulation as a moderator on the role of self-esteem on adolescents fear of missing out. A quantitative method employing a causality design was employed, involving 349 active social media users aged 15 to 18. The measurement tools used consisted of psychological scales, namely fear of missing out, two-dimensional self-esteem, and emotion regulation questionnaire. Furthermore, the data analysis was conducted using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA), which reported a significant impact of self-esteem on fear of missing out, with emotion regulation acting as a moderator. The result showed the significance of adolescents possessing positive self-esteem coupled with adaptive emotion regulation to mitigate the inclination towards experiencing fear of missing out while using social media.

Sexual Well-Being in Individuals with Schizophrenia: A Pilot Study on the Role of Self-Esteem and Acceptance of Illness.

Schizophrenia is one of the most severe chronic mental illnesses. It drastically changes an individual's life and well-being. Sexual well-being in schizophrenia is often sidelined, even though it is one of the main areas for maintaining quality of life. Based on the conservation of resources theory (COR) and empirical data, we assume that self-esteem and acceptance of illness help in coping with schizophrenia and maintaining sexual well-being. This pilot study aimed to determine the relationship between self-esteem, acceptance of illness, and sexual well-being in Polish individuals with schizophrenia. The results of 60 individuals were included in this study. In the present study, the Self-Esteem Scale (SES), Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), and Short Sexual Well-Being Scale (SSWBS) were used. The study showed a significant association between self-esteem, acceptance of illness, and sexual well-being. Self-esteem (β = 0.62) and acceptance of illness (β = 0.55) acted as positive and significant predictors of sexual well-being in individuals with schizophrenia. Acceptance of illness was also found to play a mediating role between self-esteem and sexual well-being in people with schizophrenia (indirect effect: β = 0.34; LLCI = 0.063; ULCI = 0.839). The current pilot study demonstrates the relationship between self-esteem, acceptance of illness, and sexual well-being. Our findings highlight the significant role of acceptance of illness in maintaining sexual well-being among individuals with schizophrenia.

A longitudinal study of sibling bullying and mental health in autistic adolescents: The role of self-esteem.

Sibling bullying is associated with poor mental health in autistic adolescents. The reasons for this remain unknown. In the current study, we attempted to replicate the existing findings on the direct associations between sibling bullying and mental health in autistic adolescents and expand knowledge by focusing on the indirect associations through self-esteem. We made use of existing data from the Millennium Cohort Study, a nationally representative UK-based birth cohort study. We fitted a mediation model to longitudinal data from a sample of 416 autistic adolescents aged 11, 14, and 17 years old who had at least one sibling. We found that sibling bullying was prevalent in the lives of autistic adolescents, especially in those who were late-diagnosed, had a shared bedroom, and lived in a low-income household. Additionally, increased sibling bullying in early adolescence was a significant predictor of reduced self-esteem in mid-adolescence; in turn, reduced self-esteem predicted poorer mental health and wellbeing in late adolescence. Our findings indicate that sibling bullying in early adolescence may indirectly lead to poorer mental health and wellbeing in late adolescence through a reduction in self-esteem in mid-adolescence in autistic adolescents. We discuss the implications of these findings further.

Sense of power and online trolling among college students: Mediating effects of self-esteem and moral disengagement

This study investigated the relationship between the sense of power and online trolling among college students and the role of self-esteem and moral disengagement in that relationship. Participants were 1 268 college students (females = 61.6%, mean age = 19.94, SD = 2.07 years). The students completed the Sense of Power Scale, the Self-esteem Scale, the Chinese Version of the Moral Disengagement Scale and the Global Assessment of Internet Trolling. The results from the regression analysis and the mediation effect showed that students with a higher sense of power were less likely to engage in online trolling. Moral disengagement mediated the relationship between a sense of power and online trolling to be higher in trolling. The chain mediating effect of self-esteem and moral disengagement between the sense of power and online trolling was significant, so students with a low sense of power also had lower self-esteem and higher moral disengagement. These findings are consistent with structural power theory, which contends that people with a low sense of power do not regard moral standards and are more likely to engage in online trolling.

Self-objectification and career aspirations among young Chinese women: the roles of self-esteem and career decision-making self-efficacy.

This study explored the relationship between self-objectification and career aspirations among young women from the perspective of objectification theory. A sample of 439 Chinese undergraduate women completed questionnaires on self-objectification, self-esteem, career decision-making self-efficacy, and career aspirations. The results revealed that self-objectification was negatively correlated with self-esteem, career decision-making self-efficacy, and career aspirations. Self-esteem and career decision-making self-efficacy, both independently and serially, mediated the association between self-objectification and career aspirations. These results provide a better understanding of the negative consequences of self-objectification for career aspirations.

The Effect of Hopelessness on Life Satisfaction: The Mediator Role of Self Esteem

Most of the life of today's people is spent in the business environment. However, various situations and events that may cause tension, desperation, burnout, and a decrease in job satisfaction in business life can cause them to think that they are at a dead end and to experience hopelessness. At the same time, this process negatively affects people's psychological well-being and social relations, leading to a decrease in the satisfaction they receive from their lives in general. This study was conducted to determine whether self-esteem plays a mediating role in the effect of hopelessness on life satisfaction. The study group comprised 175 tourism employees, 84 women and 91 men. The study used the Beck Hopelessness Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Self-Esteem Scale. According to the analysis results, the relationships between hopelessness, life satisfaction, and self-esteem are negative and significant. On the other hand, a positive and significant relationship was determined between life satisfaction and self-esteem. According to the results of the mediating variable analysis using PROCESS Multiple Mediation Model 4, self-esteem playss a mediating role in the relationship between hopelessness and life satisfactions. The study results were discussed and interpreted within the literature framework, and recommendations were made.

The Role of Self-Esteem, Depressive Symptoms, Extraversion, Neuroticism and FOMO in Problematic Social Media Use: Exploring User Profiles

AbstractProblematic social media use (PSMU) is known to be associated with self-esteem, depressive symptomology, extraversion, neuroticism and the fear of missing out (FOMO). However, few studies have sought to understand how these psychological factors may converge and differentially relate to PSMU severity. Thus, the current study examined how these factors may present as different ‘user profiles’. A total of 574 participants completed an online survey, and hierarchical cluster analysis and K-means clustering techniques were used to form profiles. A five-cluster solution was identified. The clusters differed in PSMU scores and in order of PSMU severity were identified as FOMO, Emotionally Vulnerable, Low-risk, Low Extraversion and Protective profiles. These findings indicate a more nuanced understanding of PSMU severity may be gained by considering how specific psychological correlates converge as opposed to considering them as unique predictors of PSMU. Future research may benefit from conceptualising PSMU from a combined risk lens that prioritises the relationship between PSMU correlates.

Perceived Economic Stress and Adolescents’ Bullying Victimization: The Roles of Self-Esteem and Student-Student Relationships

In the present study, we sought to examine the relationship between perceived economic stress and adolescents’ bullying victimization and extended previous literature by examining the mediating effect of self-esteem as well as the moderating effects of student-student relationships and gender in this association. The research hypotheses were tested among 2407 adolescents from China ( M age = 12.75 years, SD = 0.58) with a moderated mediation model. Results indicated that adolescents with high perceived economic stress were more likely to be bullied. Self-esteem mediated the relationship between perceived economic stress and bullying victimization. Furthermore, student-student relationships moderated the relationship between perceived economic stress and bullying victimization and the relationship between perceived economic stress and self-esteem. Gender did not moderate the direct and indirect relationships between perceived economic stress and bullying victimization. These findings have potential applications for reducing the risk of bullying victimization and promoting positive development for adolescents.

The role of self-esteem as moderator of the relationship between experienced stigma and anxiety and depression among tuberculosis patients

Anxiety and depression are very common in tuberculosis (TB) patients and can adversely affect TB treatment adherence, ultimately leading to higher morbidity, mortality and drug resistance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the association among experienced stigma, self-esteem and anxiety and depression, and to further explore whether self-esteem could be a moderator in the association between experienced stigma and anxiety and depression in TB patients. A total of 473 TB patients from Dalian, Liaoning Province, Northeast China participated in a cross-sectional survey. A structured questionnaire was developed to collect data. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to analyze the association among experienced stigma, self-esteem and experienced stigma × self-esteem interaction with anxiety and depression. Simple slope analysis was applied to visualize the interaction. Experienced stigma was positively associated with anxiety (B = 0.307, P < 0.01) and depression (B = 0.277, P < 0.01), and self-esteem was negatively associated with anxiety (B = − 0.215, P < 0.01) and depression (B = − 0.351, P < 0.01) in TB patients. The association between experienced stigma and anxiety was different in the low (1 standard deviation (SD) below the mean, B = 0.376, standard error (SE) = 0.056, P < 0.01) and high (1 SD above the mean, B = 0.228, SE = 0.060, P < 0.01) groups of self-esteem. Additionally, the association between experienced stigma and depression was also different in the low (1 SD below the mean, B = 0.363, SE = 0.053, P < 0.01) and high (1 SD above the mean, B = 0.179, SE = 0.056, P < 0.01) groups of self-esteem. Self-esteem could moderate the association between experienced stigma and anxiety and depression. In addition to reducing experienced stigma, enhancing self-esteem as a way to reduce the impact of experienced stigma on anxiety and depression can also help improve the mental health of TB patients.

The role of self-esteem and emotion regulation in the associations between childhood trauma and mental health in adulthood: a moderated mediation model

BackgroundHigh levels of childhood trauma (CT) have been observed in adults with mental health problems. Herein, we investigated whether self-esteem (SE) and emotion regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal (CR) and expressive suppression (ES)) affect the association between CT and mental health in adulthood, including depression and anxiety symptoms.MethodsWe performed a cross-sectional study of 6057 individuals (39.99% women, median age = 34 y), recruited across China via the internet, who completed the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Self-esteem Scale (SES), and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). Multivariate linear regression analysis and bias-corrected percentile bootstrap methodologies were used to assess the mediating effect of SE, and hierarchical regression analysis and subgroup approach were performed to examine the moderating effects of emotion regulation strategies.ResultsAfter controlling for age and sex, we found that (1) SE mediated the associations between CT and depression symptoms in adulthood (indirect effect = 0.05, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.04–0.05, 36.2% mediated), and CT and anxiety symptoms in adulthood (indirect effect = 0.03, 95% CI: 0.03–0.04, 32.0% mediated); (2) CR moderated the association between CT and SE; and (3) ES moderated the association between of CT and mental health in adulthood via SE, and such that both the CT-SE and SE-mental health pathways were stronger when ES is high rather than low, resulting the indirect effect was stronger for high ES than for low ES.ConclusionsThese findings suggested that SE plays a partially mediating role in the association between CT and mental health in adulthood. Furthermore, ES aggravated the negative effect of CT on mental health in adulthood via SE. Interventions such as emotional expression training may help reduce the detrimental effects of CT on mental health.Trial registrationThe study was registered on http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx and the registration number was ChiCTR2200059155.

Linking LMX and happiness at work through symbolic interaction theory – The role of self-esteem and organizational embeddedness

PurposeDrawing on the symbolic interaction theory, this research examines leader–member exchange (LMX) and employee’s happiness at work (HAW) with mediation of self-esteem (SE) and moderation of organizational embeddedness (OE).Design/methodology/approachThe study uses data collected from a sample of 246 employees working in fast moving consumer goods companies (FMCGs) and applied SmartPLS to analyze the proposed model.FindingsFindings reveal that LMX predicts HAW. Whereas, the follower’s SE fully transmitted the effect of LMX on employee’s HAW. Moreover, OE moderated the relationship between LMX and HAW.Practical implicationsLeaders should consider quality LMX interactions with their employees in prevailing global crises. LMX can improve the relationship with team members and boost their SE resulting in HAW. Furthermore, organizations should promote such practices which may enhance their employees' OE for enhanced workplace happiness.Originality/valueThe study is among the very few works which apply symbolic interaction as an overarching framework to explain the employees' HAW.

The Role of Self-Esteem in the Buying Decision Process. A Theoretical Approach

"Within the consumer behaviour literature, there are few studies in the consumer behaviour literature dealing with the relationship between consumer self-esteem and its role in the buying decision process. This paper explores the influence of self-esteem throughout the five stages of the consumer buying decision process. The first aspect for consideration is getting a clear picture of the definition and dimensions of self-esteem. The second element of the study concerns the five stages of the decision-making process, with special focus on how the process takes place depending on the level of self-esteem. The results show that impulse purchasers have more often than not a low level of self-esteem and do not go through the stages of the decision-making process in the usual way. With respect to managerial implications, the study indicates that organizations have to pay more attention to customer self-esteem when making customer segmentation, as, at the moment, the focus is only on demographic differences (age, gender, background, education) which do not always provide sufficient information. The evidence shows that self-esteem plays an increasing role in explaining consumer behaviour and sheds light on how individuals make decisions which mould their existence.
