Objective
The present study aimed to examine the relationship between different forms of maltreatment and cognitive emotion regulation strategies.
Methods
This research is a cross-sectional study. The sample included 321 individuals from the general population aged 18-50 years. They were selected from different districts of Tehran, using the convenience sampling method. The data were collected by the traumatic experiences checklist and the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire and analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis and the enter method.
Results
Emotional maltreatment explained part of the variance of self-blame, rumination, catastrophizing, and blaming others (P<0.01). Physical maltreatment explained part of the variance of catastrophizing and blaming others (P<0.01), and sexual maltreatment had a significant positive correlation only with catastrophizing (P<0.05).
Conclusion
The results indicated a positive association between a history of maltreatment and the use of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies. Besides, it was found that various forms of maltreatment have different relationships with maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

The ; National Society for the Prevention of ; Cruelty to Children defines maltreatment %%انتهای جدول%%] as all forms of physical and or emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, or commer-cial or other exploitation, resulting in actual or poten-tial harm to the child’s health, survival, development or dignity in the context of a relationship of responsibility, trust, or power (Sawyerr, & Bagley, 2017).
For example, several studies report that those who had been subjected to emotional and behavioral maltreatment had lower scores on adaptive emotion regulation measures than those without such an experience (Alink, Cicchetti, Kim, & Rogosch, 2009; Hartzell, 2009; Yarlasky, 2015).
Therefore, higher scores on different forms of maltreatment are related to a higher possibility of using maladaptive cognitive emotion regula-tion strategies.
Table 2 presents the results of multivariate regression analy-sis for different forms of maltreatment predicting the use of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies.
In the present study, despite the differences observed in the relationships among different forms of maltreatment and various emotion regulation strategies, the correla-tions were relatively low.
