However, it has often failed to capture the timing and chronicity of eIPV in adolescents. Objective: This study explored the longitudinal profiles of children's eIPV from the prenatal stage to age 9 and the associations between the profiles and adolescent internalizing symptoms at age 15. Participants and setting: The sample was 1495 adolescents from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a national longitudinal birth cohort study investigating the well-being of unmarried parents and their children in the US. Methods: Repeated measures latent profile analysis was employed to identify the longitudinal profiles of children's eIPV. Then, pairwise comparisons of three internalizing outcomes were conducted to examine the associations between adolescents' eIPV patterns and internalizing symptoms. Results: Three profiles were identified: 89.8 % stable low eIPV, 6.2 % early eIPV with a peak in toddlerhood, and 4.0 % frequent eIPV at school age. Adolescents who were exposed to IPV in childhood reported worse internalizing symptoms than those having low eIPV over time, with small effect sizes (ranging from 0.23 to 0.31). Conclusions: This study employed a person-centered approach to explore children's longitudinal profile of eIPV, considering both the timing and chronicity of exposure. The findings highlight the necessity of prevention efforts to reduce eIPV, particularly in early childhood. Interventions targeting internalizing symptoms among adolescents should assess the youth's history of eIPV and incorporate strategies to address associated trauma. © 2026 Elsevier Ltd 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://dspace.ewha.ac.kr/handle/2015.oak/274828 Title: Gender Differences in Adverse Childhood Experiences and Mental Health Outcomes: A Systematic Review Ewha Authors: 정익중 Abstract: Researchers still lack a systematic understanding of how types of adverse childhood experiences influence mental health and psychosocial risk behaviors, which could inform gender-specific prevention strategies. This study aimed to (1) investigate the prevalence and types of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their associated outcomes, focusing on the gender differences identified in prior research; and (2) inform the development of more effective approaches to mitigate the negative long-term consequences of ACEs across genders. Our findings are as follows: (1) Women are more likely to exhibit internalizing problems, including depressive symptoms and self-injurious behavior, whereas men are more likely to exhibit externalizing problems, including substance use, delinquency, and antisocial tendencies. (2) Childhood sexual abuse, particularly among girl students and young women, is a serious concern with significant long-term consequences, including an elevated risk of depressive symptoms. (3) Men in the sexual abuse class were more likely to receive a depression, anxiety, PTSD than women. Schools should play a crucial role in facilitating counseling for girl students who have experienced sexual abuse. Interventions should be tailored to address these gender-specific vulnerabilities and serve as a strategy for enhancing mental health and overall well-being among individuals with ACEs. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. 2025. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://dspace.ewha.ac.kr/handle/2015.oak/274819 Title: Bullying Involvement and Subtypes of Disabilities: Who is Likely to be Affected by What? Ewha Authors: 홍준성 Abstract: The current study uses latent class analysis (LCA) and binary logistic regression analysis to explore profiles of bullying and how they might be associated with the types of disabilities. LCA was used to determine a categorization of involvement in bullying among youth with various types of disabilities. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore how profiles of bullying involvement might be associated with types of disabilities. The study uses the 2016 National Survey of Children’s Health, a large-scale survey completed on children’s health, ages 0–17, in the United States. A total of 139,923 households were screened for eligibility. The study participants consisted of 50,212 caregivers of a child who completed the survey. Findings revealed that among caregivers of children without disabilities, 79.5% reported that their child was uninvolved, and 20.5% reported that their child was a victim of bullying. Children in the developmental disabilities, speech and/or language disorders, and learning disabilities groups, showed significant odds of being in the bullying victim group compared to those without any disabilities. The study did not find that children in any disability groups were likely to be in the perpetrator group. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://dspace.ewha.ac.kr/handle/2015.oak/274775 Title: The Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Depressive Symptoms in Later Life: Mediating Role of Self-Perceptions of Aging in Low-Income Older Korean Immigrants Ewha Authors: 정순둘; 장유리 Abstract: Given the mental health impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the vulnerability of socially disadvantaged older adults, we examined the associations among ACEs, self-perceptions of aging and mental health in low-income older Korean immigrants. Using data from 320 residents in subsidized housing in Los Angeles (mean age = 79.4), we found a significant indirect effect of ACEs on depressive symptoms through self-perceptions of aging (B [SE] =.12 [.05], bias-corrected 95% CI = 0.02, 0.22). These findings elucidate a mechanism through which early life adversities affect the current mental health of older adults and highlight the importance of interventions aimed at promoting positive perceptions of aging. © 2025 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
