The Mechanisms of Childhood Maltreatment on the Depression in Hearing-Impaired University Students:Evidence from the Comparison between Hearing-Impaired and Regular University Students
To explore the mechanisms of childhood maltreatment on the depression of hearing-impaired university students and the mediating role of rumination and coping style,as well as the differences between hearing-impaired and regular university students.In this study,a total of 719 university students were investigated by using the Childhood Maltreatment Questionnaire,the Rumination Scale,the Trait Coping Style Questionnaire and the Depression Self-Rating Scale.Thie results revealed that:(1)The hearing-impaired university students reported higher levels of childhood maltreatment,rumination,negative coping and depression than regular university students,while no significant differences were found in positive coping.(2)Childhood maltreatment positively predicted depression of university students,with rumination,positive coping and negative coping playing a partial mediating role,with rumination and positive coping,rumination and negative coping playing a chain mediating role.(3)Among the hearing-impaired university students,the mediating effect of negative coping and the chain mediating effect of rumination and negative coping were smaller than regular university students;the chain mediating effect of rumination and positive coping was not established in hearing-impaired university students,but it was established in regular university students.That is,childhood maltreatment was an important risk factor for depression among university students,and its mechanism of action was different between hearing-impaired university students and regular university students.Consequently,we should pay attention to the influence of childhood maltreatment on the depression of hearing-impaired university students,and effectively alleviate the depression of them by improving rumination,cultivating positive coping and reducing negative coping.
