摘要

Self-perceived success (SPS), a vital factor that complements psychological well-being (PWB), is crucial to one’s mental health and can be influenced by both positive and negative experiences during childhood. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may hinder children’s cognitive development, leading to issues in adaptation. However, these links are undetermined by the existing literature. This study examined the independent and interactive roles of ACEs and benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) on SPS and the mediating role of cognitive adaptation in the relationship between ACEs and SPS. A battery of self-report measures containing the study variables was administered along with demographic data. Data from 505 young Indian adults (Mage = 20.98), comprising 243 males and 262 females, were analyzed using the theoretical frameworks of resilience and cognitive adaptation. Linear regression, moderation, and mediation analyses were performed to obtain the results. ACEs and BCEs maintained a negative and positive association, respectively, with SPS. BCEs moderated the relationship between ACEs and SPS. In addition, the higher the BCEs, the lower the degree of association between ACEs and SPS. However, among samples with higher ACEs, the role of BCEs was not significant. Further, cognitive adaptation fully mediated the relationship between ACEs and self-perceived success. Adverse and benevolent childhood experiences are crucial in determining adult well-being. These findings suggest that fostering BCEs within supportive environments may significantly mitigate the negative association between ACEs and various aspects of adult well-being.
