Abstract

Background and Purpose: childhood maltreatment affects people’s mental and physical health and causes physical, mental and interpersonal problems. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between childhood maltreatment and Body image disorder with mediating role of attachment styles and depression. Method: The design of the current research is descriptive and correlational. The statistical sample of this study consisted of 452 female students in the 9th, 10th, and 11th grades who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling from among the students of secondary schools in Rasht city. In this study, in order to measure the studied variables, Body image Concern Questionnaire (Littleton et al, 2005), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (Bernstein et al, 2003), Revised Adult Attachment Scale (Collins & Read, 1990) and Children's depression Questionnaire (Kovacs, 1992) were used. SPSS24 and AMOS24 software were used to classify, process and analyze statistical data. Results: The results showed that the modified measured model has a relatively good fit with the hypothetical model. attachment styles and depression are able to significantly mediate the relationship between childhood maltreatment and negative Body image(p<0. 05). Insecure attachment styles and depression are directly related to negative Body image(p<0. 05). No significant direct relationship between childhood maltreatment and Body image was observed. Conclusion: Based on the results obtained, it can be said that negative Body image can be the result of the interaction of attachment styles and depression with childhood maltreatments. Paying attention to these results can be effective in formulating preventive and therapeutic interventions for Body image disorders.
