Childhood trauma and anxiety symptoms among Chinese university students: the moderating and mediating roles of mindfulness
Overview
This study examines the relationship between childhood trauma and anxiety symptoms among Chinese university students, focusing on the roles of mindfulness as a moderator and mediator. The research involved 2,087 participants from three universities in Guangzhou and utilized regression analyses to assess these associations. Results indicate that higher levels of mindfulness are associated with reduced anxiety symptoms, suggesting it may serve as a protective factor against the adverse effects of trauma.
