The study also aimed to investigate whether this mediating model differed between genders. A total of 1086 participants (18-25 years, 50% women) completed self-report questionnaires. &lt;\/p&gt;\n\t\t\t\t&lt;\/sec&gt;\n\t\t\t\t&lt;sec&gt;\n\t\t\t\t\t&lt;title&gt;Results:&lt;\/title&gt;\n\t\t\t\t\t&lt;p&gt; The findings indicated intricate links between the variables. Notably, S-A emerged as a mediator between CEN and both PoM and SfM, whereas S-C solely mediated the path between CEN and SfM, and S-R only mediated the connection between CEN and PoM. Furthermore, the study confirmed the model\u2019s invariance between genders. &lt;\/p&gt;\n\t\t\t\t&lt;\/sec&gt;\n\t\t\t\t&lt;sec&gt;\n\t\t\t\t\t&lt;title&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/title&gt;\n\t\t\t\t\t&lt;p&gt; The results underscore the necessity for targeted interventions tailored to this unique population in order to alleviate CEN's adverse effects, address the multifaceted nature of self-criticism, and foster a resilient sense of MiL.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\t\t\t\t&lt;\/sec&gt;<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.70478\/psicothema.2025.37.13","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,11]],"date-time":"2025-04-11T14:27:55Z","timestamp":1744381675000},"page":"22-31","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Childhood Emotional Neglect, Self-Criticism, and Meaning in Life Among Adults Living in Therapeutic Communities"],"prefix":"10.70478","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9447-2433","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Danilo","family":"Calaresi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Catanzaro","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4939-6539","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rosalba","family":"Morese","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e0 della Svizzera italiana","place":["Switzerland"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7674-727X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Valeria","family":"Verrastro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Catanzaro","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5659-1036","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Valeria","family":"Saladino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Cassino and Southern Lazio","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"51243","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,12]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1604","DOI":"10.1080\/10926771.2022.2164533","article-title":"Understanding the link between childhood emotional abuse and eating behaviors: The mediating role of self-criticism","volume":"32","year":"2023","unstructured":"Akg\u00f6z Akta\u015f, G., Alpay, E.
