Participants completed validated questionnaires measuring childhood maltreatment (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form), alexithymia (Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire), social anxiety (Social Anxiety subscale of the Self-Consciousness Scale), and depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire-9).
