NCT05847335

Brief Summary

The aim of this clinical study is to show the effects of childhood traumas on emotional intelligence levels and personality beliefs in university students. The key questions it aims to answer are: Do childhood traumas have an effect on emotional intelligence levels? Do childhood traumas have an effect on personality beliefs? Do emotional intelligence levels have an effect on personality beliefs? A socio-demographic data form, childhood trauma scale, Bar-On emotional intelligence scale and personality beliefs scale will be administered to the participants. Researchers will compare Group 1 of those with childhood trauma to Group 2 of those without childhood trauma to see the impact of childhood trauma.
