Abstract

A study of 301 college undergraduates is employed to test a causal model which proposes that dissociation and depression act as mediator variables that develop from child abuse and lead to various negative outcomes. As predicted, child maltreatment was found to be related to negative life experiences, with depression and dissociation differentially mediating the various outcomes.
