The Effect of Childhood Trauma on Emotional Clarity: Sequential Mediating Effects of Experiential Avoidance and Differentiation of Self

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the individual mediating effects of experiential avoidance (EA) and differentiation of self (DOS), as well as the sequential mediating effects, in the relationship between childhood trauma (CT) and emotional clarity (EC). A total of 276 adult men and women over the age of 18 completed the survey, which was analyzed using SPSS 28.0 and the SPSS PROCESS macro Model 6. First, the direct effect of CT on EC was not statistically significant. Second, a full mediating effect of EA and DOS was confirmed in the relationship between CT and EC. Third, the sequential mediating effects of EA and DOS was also found to be significant in the relationship between CT and EC. Finally, the total effect of CT on EC was deemed significant. Based on these results, the study discussed its significance and limitations, and provided suggestions for future research.
