Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine whether there was a direct effect of parents’ traumatic war experiences on the child’s mental health, or whether the effect was achieved through the attachment, family dynamics and parenting styles. The sample consisted of 76 triads (fathers, mothers and children) from the territory of Kosovo and Metohija. The study results show that the effect of the father’s war trauma is mediated entirely by the variables Closeness/Dependence and Authority, while for the mother, it is the dimension Closeness/Dependence that achieves partial mediation. The results are discussed in context of trauma-focused and psychosocial approaches, and in the context of attachment theory.

摘要

本研究的目的是检验父母的创伤性战争经历是否对孩子的心理健康有直接影响，或者这种影响是否是通过依恋、家庭动力和养育方式来实现的。样本包括来自科索沃和梅托希亚领土的 76 个三合会（父亲、母亲和儿童）。研究结果表明，父亲战争创伤的影响完全由亲密度/依赖和权威变量介导，而对母亲来说，实现部分中介的是亲密度/依赖维度。结果在以创伤为中心的和心理社会方法的背景下以及依恋理论的背景下进行了讨论。
