History of Childhood Maltreatment, Trauma Symptoms, and Go/No-Go Task Performance in College Students.
The Go/No-Go task measures inhibitory control, a cognitive process that plays an important role in a range of adaptive contexts. Adults with childhood maltreatment (CM) history have been found to be vulnerable to mental health difficulties, emotional dysregulation, and college adaptation problems. W...

Adults with childhood maltreatment (CM) history have been found to be vulnerable to mental health difficulties, emotional dysregulation, and college adaptation problems. We examined whether maltreatment history and trauma symptoms, both independently and jointly, predict Go/No-Go performance in a task manipulated across three blocks to include emotional content. College students (N = 165) completed surveys on maltreatment history and current trauma symptoms and performed a Go/No-Go task with stimuli varying across three blocks: Color, Neutral-Face, and Emotion-Face (Anger-Face and Fear-Face). CM history and current trauma systems correlated only with the No-Go trials in the Emotion-Face condition. CTQ scores for Emotional Abuse, Sexual Abuse, and Total Maltreatment scores, and several trauma symptoms, including TSC-40 Depression and Anxiety, were negatively correlated with Fear-Face No-Go accuracy. Depression moderated the pathway between Emotional Abuse and Fear-Face No-Go accuracy, such that participants with emotional-abuse history and current depression experienced the greatest Go/No-Go performance difficulty. These findings suggest that college students with both maltreatment history and current depression may experience inhibitory control difficulties, particularly in emotionally charged real-world situations. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
