Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Exposure to early physical abuse is common among individuals with Substance Use Disorder. However, little is known about how cognitive reappraisal affects the relationship between childhood physical abuse and adult substance abuse. The main goal of the study was to identify whether participants reporting experiences of childhood physical abuse were more likely to engage in substance abuse, such as drug abuse and alcohol abuse, and whether cognitive reappraisal played a role in this relationship. Data for the study were from the young adult residents in a treatment and rehabilitation center in Bicutan. Purposive sampling method was used to select the 300 participants. Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Drug Abuse Screening Test-10 and Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test were translated into Filipino language. Four steps were followed according to the procedure suggested by the World Health Organization in translating instruments. Results showed that cognitive reappraisal fully mediated the relationship between childhood physical abuse and drug abuse, as well as in the relationship between childhood physical abuse and alcohol abuse.
