Description
Zhang and Liu studied in twenty twenty-five how a hard childhood can echo into social anxiety at university, and what softens or carries that echo. Adverse childhood experiences are known to raise later anxiety, but the chain of influences in between needed mapping.
The team surveyed nine hundred sixty-four students at Chinese universities with standard scales. A painful childhood predicted stronger social anxiety in adulthood. Two links carried much of the effect: weaker attachment to parents, and being bullied online, which fed on each other in a chain. Personal resilience blunted the whole chain. Family structure changed the pattern too: in two-parent homes, secure attachment guarded more strongly against online bullying. In single-parent homes, childhood hardship hit online bullying harder. The authors offer the model as a guide for campus prevention and counseling.
