Abstract

The marital dissolution as a traumatic event for children and adolescents might yield different outcomes for each adolescent. Previous studies suggested that adolescents who have high resilience tend to experience positive changes / post- traumatic growth following traumatic events, which results in higher well-being. Hence, it is necessary to conduct research about resilience and post-traumatic growth as predictors of psychological well-being among adolescents who have been through their parents’ marital dissolution. The recent study aims to investigate the relations among those variables. A total of 56 participants (mean age: 15.27; 66.1% female) who lived in Semarang completed three measurements. Correlational, t-test, and path analysis were applied. The result suggests that both resilience and post-traumatic growth significantly and positively correlated toward psychological well-being. Furthermore, post-traumatic growth was found to have a significant partial mediating effect on the relationship between resilience and psychological well-being. These findings suggest that though promoting resilience could improve the psychological well-being of adolescents who have been through their parents’ marital dissolution, clinicians need to ensure that adolescents experience post-traumatic growth through cognitive therapy or counseling sessions to achieve better psychological well-being.

Abstract

Introduction Anxiety prevalence among PDL is 40% to 100%, and unmanaged anxiety may lead to more severe psychological and health concerns. Aim This study examined the mediating role of forgiveness in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and anxiety among PDL. Methods A cross-sectional non-experimental design was conducted among 376 PDL. Participants completed the ACEQ, Heartland Forgiveness Scale, and GAD-7. Data were analyzed using correlation, regression, and mediation analyses. Results ACEs were positively associated with anxiety (r = .43, p < .001) and negatively associated with forgiveness (r = -.16, p = .002), while forgiveness was negatively associated with anxiety (r = -.37, p < .001). Forgiveness partially mediated the relationship between ACEs and anxiety (β = 0.104, p = .004). Conclusion Forgiveness partially mediates the relationship between ACEs and anxiety; however, trauma-informed interventions remain necessary to address underlying childhood adversity and reduce anxiety among PDL.
