Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 455 SMAs aged 12-17 found that GNC is associated with higher peer victimization and negative expectations, which in turn leads to increased psychological distress.
- * The findings suggest that targeted interventions to combat peer victimization and support coping strategies for minority stress are especially important for SMAs who are gender nonconforming.
Background: General aggression and evolutionary models posit that more severe early exposure experiences to trauma (physical, emotional, sexual abuse and/or neglect) place one at risk for adulthood psychopathology through heightened trait anger expression-internal (Anger-In) and external (Anger-Out). However, there are a dearth of empirical studies explaining the longitudinal childhood maltreatment-adulthood psychopathology relation.
Objective: Therefore, this study investigated if childhood maltreatment exposure severity predicted elevated adulthood major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder (PD), and alcohol use disorder (AUD).
