Effect of Childhood Trauma on Emotional Distress: A Chain‐Mediated Effects of Alexithymia and Psychological Flexibility
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The study aims to explore how emotional distress is affected by childhood trauma through pathways involving alexithymia and psychological flexibility, and to construct a complete model established on this foundation, which will be provided as a theoretical theory for interventions in college students' mental health. METHODS: Note that 1002 college students were assessed using Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), the 20-item Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20), and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-2nd Edition (AAQ-II). After removing some non-compliant questionnaires, the remaining 885 were used for data analysis. RESULTS: Scores on childhood trauma, alexithymia, and psychological flexibility exhibited notable correlation with depression, anxiety, and stress; childhood trauma had chain mediation effects on depression, anxiety, and stress through alexithymia and psychological flexibility. CONCLUSION: Among college students, childhood trauma is positively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress, and impacts the relationship between them through the single mediation and chain mediation of alexithymia and psychological flexibility.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
