  • The Association Between Child Maltreatment and Moral Disengagement

    Open AccessXianxin Meng, Chenyuan HAN et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2026

    Moral disengagement is a psychological process that enables individuals to distance themselves from their moral standards and justify unethical behavior. A growing body of empirical evidence has documented associations between child maltreatment and elevated levels of moral disengagement. However, a substantial degree of inconsistency has been identified within the extant empirical literature regarding the magnitude of this relationship. This met…

    Theoretical and empirical evidence has suggested that child maltreatment victimization is associated with rejection sensitivity. However, empirical evidence on this association is inconsistent.

Studies eligible for inclusion were searched in the …

    Open AccessXiao-yan Chen, Camilla K M Lo et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2024

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) against pregnant women negatively impacts women’s and infants’ health. Yet inconsistent results have been found regarding whether pregnancy increases or decreases the risk of IPV. To answer this question, we systematically searched for studies that provided data on IPV against women before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and after childbirth. Nineteen studies met our selection criteria. We meta-analyzed the nineteen s…

  • The Association Between Child Maltreatment and Pathological Narcissism

    Open AccessShuling Gao, Delin Yu et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2024

    Emerging evidence has documented the positive association between child maltreatment and both phenotypes of pathological narcissism (i.e., vulnerable and grandiose narcissism). However, results across these studies are inconsistent. Therefore, the present meta-analysis aimed to examine the extent to which child maltreatment is associated with vulnerable and grandiose narcissism, and whether these associations differed by study or sample character…

  • Associations between self-disgust, depression, and anxiety

    Open AccessShuling Gao, Ling Zhang et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2022

    Self-disgust is a negative self-conscious emotion that reflects disgust or revulsion directed toward oneself. A growing body of research has demonstrated a link between self-disgust, depression, and anxiety. However, the strength of these associations varied considerably across studies, suggesting the need to conduct a meta-analysis to produce a synthesized truer estimate. This review aimed to summarize the primary literature and improve our insi…
