Abstract(s)
O trauma na infância apresenta consequências na vida adulta e pode revelar-se
através de dificuldade na regulação emocional e agressividade. Este trabalho tem como
objetivo investigar a relação entre trauma de infância, dificuldade na regulação
emocional e agressividade, entre jovens adultos de Portugal, e avaliar o papel da
regulação emocional como mediador na relação entre trauma na infância e
agressividade. A amostra de 160 participantes responderam a dados sociodemográficos
e ao Questionário de Trauma na Infância (QTI), ao Questionário de Agressividade (AQ)
e à Escala de Dificuldade na Regulação Emocional (EDRE). Os resultados
demonstraram uma correlação positiva entre as três variáveis e uma mediação por parte
da EDRE entre o QTI e a AQ. Este estudo sugere que a presença do trauma infantil
pode ser considerada como um fator de risco significativo para o desenvolvimento de
comportamentos agressivos na vida adulta, através da dificuldade na regulação
emocional.
ABSTRACT: Childhood trauma has consequences in adulthood and can reveal itself through difficulties in emotional regulation and aggression. This work aims to investigate the relationship between childhood trauma, difficulties in emotional regulation and aggression, among young adults in Portugal, and evaluate the role of difficulties in emotional regulation as a mediator in the relationship between childhood trauma and aggression. The sample of 160 participants responded to sociodemographic data and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (QTI), Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (EDRE). The results demonstrated a positive correlation between the three variables and a mediation by the EDRE between the QTI and the AQ. This study suggests that the presence of childhood trauma can be considered a significant risk factor for the development of aggressive behavior in adulthood through the difficulties in emotional regulation.
