Lee Raby Developmental Psychobiology ABSTRACTThere are competing theoretical hypotheses regarding the consequences of early adversity, such as childhood maltreatment, for individuals’ autonomic nervous system activity. Research examining potential implications of child maltreatment for sympathetic nervous system activity, specifically, is scarce. In this preregistered study, we examined whether childhood maltreatment history is associated with pregnant adults’ sympathetic responses to different stressors. This population is particularly relevant, given potential intergenerational consequences of pregnant individuals’ physiological responses to stress. Pregnant women's (N = 162) electrodermal levels were recorded while completing the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST), which elicits social‐evaluative threat, and while watching a video of an unfamiliar infant crying, which was intended to activate the attachment system. Pregnant women's retrospective reports of childhood maltreatment were negatively associated with their electrodermal reactivity to the TSST and to the video of the infant crying. Follow‐up analyses indicated that these associations were specific to reported experiences of childhood abuse and not childhood neglect. Altogether, these findings indicate that self‐reported childhood maltreatment experiences, and childhood abuse in particular, may result in blunted activity of the sympathetic nervous system in response to multiple types of stressors. 10.1002/dev.22553 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
