Methods Three hundred twenty-two adolescents aged 13–16 were recruited from pediatric hospitals.

Perceived social support is an established predictor of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after exposure to a traumatic event. Gender important factor that could differentiate responses support, yet this has been little explored. Symptoms complex PTSD are also common following trauma but have under-researched in context. Large scale studies with culturally diverse samples particularly lacking.
Abstract Childhood maltreatment (CM) is thought to be associated with altered responses social stimuli and interpersonal signals. However, limited evidence exists that CM linked larger comfortable distance (CID) – the physical humans prefer towards others during interactions. no previous study has investigated this association in a comprehensive sample, yielding sufficient statistical power. Moreover, preliminary findings are European region. Finally, it unclear how affects CID different...
