Recently, there has been a growing interest in identifying the mechanisms of how child abuse/neglect predicts the development of psychopathology in adulthood. In that respect, schema therapy explains the origin of psychopathology with early maladaptive schemas. This study aimed to explore the mediator roles of five different schema domains between child abuse/neglect and depressive symptomatology relationship in a university student sample. The sample of this study consisted of 414 undergraduate and graduate students from the various universities of Turkey [312 (75.4%) female, and 102 (24.6%) male], whose ages ranged between 18 and 32 (M = 21.69, SD = 2.08). Parallel Multiple Mediation Analysis for five schema domains showed that among all schema domains only impaired autonomy/performance schema domain-mediated the relationship between child abuse/neglect and depressive symptomatology. Individuals who reported higher levels of childhood abuse and neglect tended to develop more maladaptive schemas from impaired autonomy/performance schema domain, and as a consequence, were at increased risk for depressive symptoms. Results were discussed in light of the relavant literature.

Cognitive development of infants in institutional care settings, comparison with the low and high-SES family groups.
Ertekin, Zeynep; Kazak Berument, Sibel; Gunnar, Megan (null; 2019-09-01)
Research findings have indicated that children who were reared in institutions (e.g. orphanages) increasingly lag behind in cognitive development the longer they are in institutional care (Colvert et al., 2008; Smyke et al., 2007). Most of the studies were carried out with the previously institutionalized children. However, there is less study of infant’s development who are currently residing in institutions. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to compare cognitive development of infants currently i...
