Relationship between childhood trauma and neuroticism among young adults

Abstract Childhood trauma has long been known to have a significant impact on developing personalities and psychological functioning in later life. According to earlier research, emotional dysregulation, stress susceptibility, and the emergence of neurotic tendencies in adulthood are all significantly related to negative childhood events including abuse and neglect (Dye, 2020a; Norman et al., 2012a).Based on this, the current study aimed to investigate the relationship between Childhood trauma and neuroticism among adults. 176 participants, between the ages of 18 and 26, comprised the sample for this correlational study. A Google form was used to gather data, which included demographic information, a consent form, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) to evaluate the trauma subdomains (physical, emotional, sexual, and emotional abuse), and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory-3 (NEO FFI 3) to assess neuroticism. Overall childhood trauma and neuroticism were shown to be significantly positively correlated (r =.355, p <.01), with emotional, physical, and sexual abuse as well as emotional neglect exhibiting significant relationships, although physical neglect did not. Males scored much higher on physical abuse and physical neglect, according to gender comparisons, but there were not significant distinctions for neuroticism or other trauma dimensions. These results highlight the long-term psychological effects of childhood adversity by indicating that some types of traumas have a greater impact on personality
development, especially neuroticism (Ramsawh et al., 2011; So et al., 2016)
