Abstract
This study examined the relationship between childhood trauma, vengefulness, and psychological wellbeing among young adults in Pakistan, with vengefulness as a potential mediator. Childhood trauma is a major cause of adult mental health issues, and this study is an attempt to fill a gap in the literature by exploring vengefulness as a mediating variable between childhood trauma and adult psychological well-being. Data was taken from 136 undergraduate students from SZABIST University, Karachi. These participants were analyzed through self-reported questionnaires, including the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire - Short Form (CTQ - SF), Vengeance Scale (VS), and Ryff’s Psychological Wellbeing Scale (PWB). Results showed that childhood trauma significantly predicted lower psychological wellbeing, with sexual abuse as a key predictor. However, vengefulness did not significantly mediate the relationship between childhood trauma and psychological wellbeing. Gender differences were partially supported, with males reporting higher vengefulness but no significant differences in trauma or psychological wellbeing. The findings show that traumatic experiences in childhood have adverse effects on adult mental health. Key implications include the need for trauma-informed interventions, early support, and culturally sensitive policies in Pakistan.
