Journal Article
The effects of childhood trauma on personality in unaffected first-degree relatives of patients with major depressive disorder
2022
Overview
Abstrac
Objectives
This study aimed to preliminarily and exploratorily examine the associations between childhood trauma (CT), its subtypes, and personality traits among unaffected first-degree relatives (FDR, children, or siblings) of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
Methods
The study sample included three subgroups: MDD patients (
N
= 85), Patients’ FDRs (
N
= 35), and healthy control individuals (HC,
N
= 89). The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) was used to assess childhood trauma and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was used to assess personality traits.
Results
Significant differences were found in a few personality traits (
p
< 0.05 for extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism) among MDD patients, FDR, and HC, and there were no significant differences between HC and FDR. In the FDR group, compared with those without CT, participants with CT scored significantly higher for neuroticism (N) (
F
= 3.246,
p
= 0.046). CT was significantly associated with N, psychoticism (P) and Lie (L), and the strongest association was between CT total score and N. Significantly positive correlations were found between N and sexual abuse (SA) (
r
= 0.344,
p
= 0.043), emotional neglect (EN) (
r
= 0.394,
p
= 0.019), physical neglect (PN) (
r
= 0.393,
p
= 0.019), and CTQ total score (
r
= 0.452,
p
= 0.006); between P and CTQ total score (
r
= 0.336,
p
= 0.049); and significant negative correlations were found between L and EN (
r
= -0.446,
p
= 0.007), CTQ total score (
r
= -0.375,
p
= 0.027).
Conclusion
In unaffected FDRs, there were significant associations between childhood trauma and a few personality traits, including neuroticism, psychoticism, and lie, and emotional neglect was significantly associated with neuroticism.
