The Relationship Between Childhood Trauma and Romantic Relationship Satisfaction

Studies find that childhood trauma negatively impacts romantic relationship satisfaction in college students, primarily by disrupting healthy attachment styles. Social support can buffer this effect by promoting secure attachment, highlighting the importance of interventions focusing on improving attachment and strengthening social support networks for individuals with a history of trauma.

Social-Emotional Competence Among Adolescents

Study found that self-management and social awareness were crucial for emotional well-being in students. While social awareness was linked to increased anxiety, effective self-management and strong relationship skills helped mitigate this. Importantly, emotion regulation, particularly through cognitive reappraisal, played a significant role in how social-emotional competencies influenced test anxiety.

Children Who Face Adversity Have Better Long-Term Health If They Have Enough Positive Childhood Experiences Too
