    Associations of Childhood Maltreatment and Emotion Dysregulation With Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms: a Transdiagnostic Model
    (Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2025-06-18) Kacar-Basaran, Servet; Kiziltepe, Rukiye
    Purpose It has been documented that childhood maltreatment is associated with many psychological problems as a transdiagnostic risk factor. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between childhood maltreatment and both internalizing and externalizing symptoms, along with the underlying mechanisms. The current study aimed to investigate the role of emotion dysregulation in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Methods The sample included 301 participants aged 18 and above (M-age = 23.78, SD = 6.08). Participants completed questionnaires regarding childhood maltreatment, emotion dysregulation, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and aggression using an online platform. Structural equation modelling was used to explore the relationships among the variables. Results The results showed that (a) childhood maltreatment was positively associated with both internalizing (beta = 0.69, p <.01) and externalizing symptoms (beta = 0.51, p <.01); (b) the emotion dysregulation mediated the relationship between childhood maltreatment and both internalizing (effect size = 0.29, SE = 0.04, p <.001, 95% CI [0.21, 0.38]) and externalizing symptoms (effect size = 0.21, SE = 0.04, p <.001, 95% CI [0.13, 0.29]). Conclusions Our results revealed that childhood maltreatment and emotion dysregulation could be crucial transdiagnostic risk factors for both internalizing and externalizing symptoms. These findings suggest the importance of supporting emotional regulation among individuals with a history of childhood maltreatment.

    Exploring Attitudes Toward Sugar Relationships Across 87 Countries: A Global Perspective on Exchanges of Resources for Sex and Companionship
    (Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2023-12-21) Mesko, Norbert; Kowal, Marta; Lang, Andras; Kocsor, Ferenc; Bandi, Szabolcs A.; Putz, Adam; Sorokowski, Piotr
    The current study investigates attitudes toward one form of sex for resources: the so-called sugar relationships, which often involve exchanges of resources for sex and/or companionship. The present study examined associations among attitudes toward sugar relationships and relevant variables (e.g., sex, sociosexuality, gender inequality, parasitic exposure) in 69,924 participants across 87 countries. Two self-report measures of Acceptance of Sugar Relationships (ASR) developed for younger companion providers (ASR-YWMS) and older resource providers (ASR-OMWS) were translated into 37 languages. We tested cross-sex and cross-linguistic construct equivalence, cross-cultural invariance in sex differences, and the importance of the hypothetical predictors of ASR. Both measures showed adequate psychometric properties in all languages (except the Persian version of ASR-YWMS). Results partially supported our hypotheses and were consistent with previous theoretical considerations and empirical evidence on human mating. For example, at the individual level, sociosexual orientation, traditional gender roles, and pathogen prevalence were significant predictors of both ASR-YWMS and ASR-OMWS. At the country level, gender inequality and parasite stress positively predicted the ASR-YWMS. However, being a woman negatively predicted the ASR-OMWS, but positively predicted the ASR-YWMS. At country-level, ingroup favoritism and parasite stress positively predicted the ASR-OMWS. Furthermore, significant cross-subregional differences were found in the openness to sugar relationships (both ASR-YWMS and ASR-OMWS scores) across subregions. Finally, significant differences were found between ASR-YWMS and ASR-OMWS when compared in each subregion. The ASR-YWMS was significantly higher than the ASR-OMWS in all subregions, except for Northern Africa and Western Asia.
