Investigation of the relationship between childhood trauma and attachment, aggression and mental well-being among university students

Most of the psychological problems we experience today are rooted in our childhood. As adults, we can react differently when we encounter an event that which we have no explanation. This is because of having different characters. These features begin to the shape in childhood. We can see our childhood as the period when the tree starts grow. No period is as dense and sensitive as childhood. First experiences shaped the way how we look at life. If these experiences are bad, the trace will always remain. This experience is not to get a low grade from the exam or doesn't take the child's favorite toy. It is physical, emotional and sexual abuse, that is very severe threat that is fully affected and even changes the physiological structure. The purpose of this study is to look into the link between attachment, aggression and mental well-being of university students who have experienced childhood trauma. In 2022, 351 university students between the ages of 18 and 30 in Turkey volunteered to participate in the study. The data was collected using a socio-demographic information form, the Childhood Trauma Scale, the Adult Attachment Style Scale, the Aggression Scale and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. It was designed to look at the impacts of trauma on other dependent variables, and SPSS was used to evaluate the associations between the variables using "correlation and regression." Childhood trauma has been linked to a variety of medical and psychological problems, according to research (depression, anxiety, suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc.). To attain our objectives, we applied quantitative methods. Traumatized university students have been found to play a significant effect in the psychological impact and personality of the individual on their peers.
