早期逆境与意义危机的关系：存在孤独的中介作用

The Relationship between Early Adversity and Crisis of Meaning: The Mediating Role of Existential Isolation

摘要: 早期生活环境的质量影响个体心理健康状况，意义危机是其中一个重要的且有意义的指示。研究发现，早期逆境对意义危机和存在孤独预测都显著，存在孤独的中介作用显著。也就是说，早期逆境不仅能直接预测意义危机，还能通过存在孤独间接对意义危机产生影响。具体来说，不可预测维度对意义危机的预测能力非常突出，这可能是因为环境的不可预测性打破了个体的认知的连贯性和连续性，从而导致了个体形成生活是空虚的、无意义的评价。

Abstract: The quality of the early life environment affects the mental health status of individuals, and crisis of meaning is one of the important and meaningful indicators. It was found that early adversity significantly predicted both crisis of meaning and existential isolation, and the mediating effect of existential isolation was significant. In other words, early adversity can not only directly predict the crisis of meaning, but also indirectly influence the crisis of meaning through existential isolation. Specifically, the unpredictable dimension has a very prominent ability to predict the crisis of meaning, which is probably because the unpredictability of the environment breaks the coherence and continuity of the individual’s cognition, thus leading to the evaluation that the individual’s life is empty and meaningless.
