Three self-reported scales, including the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-SF), the Silencing the Self Scale (STSS), and the Guilt Subscale of the Personal Feelings Questionnaire, were used to collect data from 410 women (aged above 18) through non-probability convenience sampling. Outcomes from regression analyses indicated that childhood emotional abuse significantly predicted internalized guilt (β = .363, p &lt; .001) and self-silencing (β = .311, p &lt; .001). Furthermore, in mediation analysis childhood emotional abuse strongly predicted internalized guilt (B = 0.35, p &lt; .001), and this relationship was significantly mediated by self-silencing (B = 0.35, p &lt; .001), which explains how early emotional abuse is responsible for heightened guilt in adulthood (B = 0.24, p &lt; .001). The research highlights the relation between childhood emotional abuse and its impact on psychological well-being. This study addresses the adverse effects of childhood emotional abuse (CEA) caused by cultural factors, which lead to long-lasting problems in both intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships.</em></p> 2026-02-28T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2026 The Journal of Research Review
