다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examined the long term effect of emotional abuse on adulthood, as well as the mediating roles of emotional variables and its structural relations. Based on previous studies, partial and full dual mediation models were proposed, in which difficulty on emotional awareness and emotional inhibition sequentially mediated the relationship between emotional abuse and adulthood psychological distress. In order to compare two mediation models and an alternative model, structural equation modeling(SEM) was used. The SEM revealed that a partial dual mediation model fit the data well. These findings suggest that difficulty on emotional awareness and emotional inhibition sequentially mediate the relationship between emotional abuse and adulthood psychological distress, and emotional abuse directly influence adulthood psychological distress. Additionally, this study also examined the gender difference between two mediation models. For women, partial dual mediation model fit the data. On the other hand, for men full dual mediation model fit the data well. Finally, implications and limitations of this study and suggestions for future study were addressed.
