| Adverse childhood experiences(ACEs) have been linked to many negative outcomes in prior psychological research. Previous studieshave shownthat ACEs are related to sleep problems and sleep problems are related to resilience outcomes, butthere are fewer studies that examine sleep as a mediator or moderatorof the relationship between ACEs and resilience. Therefore, the purpose of the current study wasto analyze the mediating and moderatingrole of sleep on the relationship between ACEs and resilience. Participants wererecruited via Mechanical Turkand the ISU SONA research pool. Participants completeda group of questionnaires and online versionsof the Stroop and the Go-No-Gotasks. Resilience was determinedusing measures of psychological wellbeing, life satisfaction, social wellbeing, subjective effortful control, and objective measures of effortful control. Insomnia symptoms mediated the relationship between ACEs and objective measures of resilience. Sleep quality moderated the relationship between ACEs and effortful control.Key Words: Resilience, Sleep, Adverse Childhood Experiences |
