Abstract: (7 Views)
This study aimed to examine the relationship between childhood trauma and self-differentiation, with attachment styles and difficulties in emotion regulation as mediating variables, among university students. The research employed a descriptive-correlational design using structural equation modeling. The statistical population consisted of students at Imam Khomeini International University during the 2025–2026 academic year, and a sample of 325 participants was selected through convenience sampling. The instruments used in this study included the Differentiation of Self Inventory-Revised (DSI-R; Skowron & Smith, 2003), the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ; Bernstein et al., 2003), the Attachment Styles Inventory (AAI; Hazen & Shaver, 1987), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that the model had a good fit. The findings showed that secure attachment had a significant positive direct relationship with self-differentiation (p<0.01). In addition, insecure ambivalent attachment and difficulties in emotion regulation had significant negative direct relationships with self-differentiation (p<0.01), whereas avoidant attachment did not have a significant direct relationship with self-differentiation (p>0.05). The bootstrap test also confirmed the mediating roles of secure attachment, insecure ambivalent attachment, and difficulties in emotion regulation in the relationship between childhood trauma and self-differentiation (p<0.001). Overall, the findings suggest that childhood trauma is associated with difficulties in emotion regulation, insecure attachment patterns, and self-differentiation in adulthood.
