Description
Growing up in a family that does not work well leaves marks that can follow a woman into adult life, including habits that harm the self slowly rather than at once. Małgorzata Szcześniak and co-authors surveyed 207 such women in 2025, measuring indirect self-destructive behavior, loneliness, and satisfaction with life on standard scales.
The three measures moved together: more self-destructive behavior went with more loneliness and less life satisfaction. Mediation tests ran both ways, with loneliness carrying part of the behavior's link to satisfaction, and the behavior carrying part of loneliness's link in return. The authors say the tangle, long unstudied as one system, gives support teams a clearer target.
