Abstract: (16 Views)
This study aimed to examine the structural relationships between childhood trauma and executive functions in students with depressive symptoms, focusing on the mediating role of the behavioral inhibition/activation systems (BIS/BAS) and attachment styles. The present research was descriptive‑correlational with a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) design. The statistical population consisted of students at Imam Khomeini International University during the 2024–2025 academic year. Using a purposive sampling method, a sample of 380 individuals was selected. The study instruments included the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function–Adult Version (BRIEF‑A; Gioia et al., 2000), the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ; Bernstein et al., 2003), the Behavioral Inhibition/Activation System Scale (BIS/BAS; Carver & White, 1994), and the Adult Attachment Inventory (AAI; Hazan & Shaver, 1987). Data were analyzed using SEM. The results indicated a good model fit. Findings showed that childhood trauma, both directly and indirectly through ambivalent attachment and the BAS, predicted executive functions in students with depressive symptoms (p<.001). The results indicated that childhood trauma is associated with lower levels of executive functioning, and that this relationship can be understood in the context of attachment patterns and behavioral systems. These findings highlight the importance of considering early life experiences and attachment styles in better understanding executive functions in students with depressive symptoms.
