Childhood maltreatment impacts the activity of the neural empathy but not theory of mind network: findings from a transdiagnostic sample

Mechanisms of vulnerability in borderline personality psychopathology: The role of childhood maltreatment, social cognition, and emotion dysregulation.

Childhood maltreatment (CM), impaired social cognition, emotion dysregulation, and clinical outcomes (e.g., aggression, suicidal ideation, non-suicidal self-injury) frequently co-occur in borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, the precise associations between individual CM facets, cumulative CM severity, and s...

Childhood Maltreatment as a Predictor of Depression-Anxiety Coupling Strength

It is hypothesized that individuals with greater childhood maltreatment severity, particularly severity of emotional abuse and neglect, will exhibit stronger DACS, reflecting greater temporal coupling between depression and anxiety symptoms, and whether childhood maltreatment severity and subtype predict stronger coupl...

Childhood Maltreatment and Adolescent Depressive Symptom: A Sequential Mediation Model of Alexithymia and Social Anxiety.

BACKGROUND Childhood maltreatment is a significant risk factor for adolescent depressive symptoms, yet the underlying psychological mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. Identifying mediating pathways through emotional processing deficits and social functioning impairments may inform targeted interventions. AI...

The role of alexithymia in the association between childhood maltreatment and depressive symptoms in Chinese men with methamphetamine use disorder.

Blunted Neural Error Monitoring Amplifies the Adverse Effect of Childhood Maltreatment on Depressive Symptoms: Time-Domain and Time-Frequency Analysis.

Performance monitoring (PM) has been suggested as a promising cognitive factor to explain individual differences in the association between early maltreatment and depression, yet evidence remains limited. From a monitoring vs. executive perspective, this study thus comprehensively examined whether and how the neurophys...
