Introduction: Emotional dysregulation has been identified as an important meta-diagnostic factor for the etiology and treatment of various psychological problems. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the structural relationships of childhood trauma with positive memory and depressive symptoms with regard to the mediating role of positive emotional dysregulation in adults.
Methods: The statistical population included all people referring to clinics and psychological service centers in Tehran in 2023. Among the statistical population, 240 people were selected by available sampling method. Research tools were: Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), Difficulties Emotion Regulation Scale‐Positive (DERS-P), Memory Experiences Questionnaire-Short Form (MEQ-SF). For data analysis, Pearson correlation, structural equation modeling and SPSS -22 and AMOS-26 software were used.
Results: The results showed that the research model has a good fit. The direct effect of childhood trauma on positive memory was not significant. The direct effect of childhood trauma on symptoms of depression (T = 0.80, β = 0.80, T = 13.08) and positive emotion dysregulation (T = 0.80, 16.48), and the direct effect of the positive emotion dysregulation on positive memory (40 T = 0.76, β = 0.5) and depressive symptoms (T = 2.05, β = 0.12) were significant. Also, positive emotion dysregulation had a mediating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and positive memory and depressive symptoms.
Conclusions: According to the findings of the present research, positive emotional dysregulation should be a target for treatment in childhood trauma victims, to prevent mood disorders and make positive memories special. Therefore, it is suggested to use treatments such as emotion regulation based treatments, memory specificity training to reduce depression symptoms and increase memory specificity in people with childhood trauma experience.
