Objectives : Childhood trauma is a risk factor for and resilience is a protective factor against later affective
symptoms. The current study aimed to explore the relation between childhood trauma and anxiety symptoms
and the mediating effect of resilience in a sample of college students.
Methods : Data from 238 subjects who completed the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were analyzed. Predictors for
BAI score and factor analyzed anxiety symptom dimensions were examined using regression models. Path analytic models were applied to test the mediating effect of the CD-RICS score on BAI score.
Results : The CTQ score was significantly associated with the BAI score and the mediating effect of CDRISC was significant as well. The cognitive dimension of anxiety was related to emotional abuse while the somatic dimension of anxiety to physical neglect. The CD-RISC score did not mediate those relations between
anxiety dimensions and individual types of childhood trauma.
Conclusions : Our data suggest that childhood trauma contributes to adult anxiety symptoms. There may
be specific relations between types of childhood trauma and anxiety symptoms dimensions. (Anxiety and
