Parental abuse and subjective wellbeing among Egyptian early emerging adults: a gender-moderated analysis.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Prolonged co-residence with parents, common in Egyptian early emerging adults (18-21 years), can expose them to continued parental abuse-a phenomenon largely overlooked in current non-western literature. Unlike prior studies focusing on retrospective childhood abuse, this research examines ongoing abuse experiences and their relationship with wellbeing, with particular attention to gender differences. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, 360 early emerging adults (aged 18-21; 121 men, 239 women) completed validated measures of perceived parental abusive behaviors and subjective wellbeing. Moderation analyses were conducted using Hayes' (2022) PROCESS macro (Model 1), controlling for age, major specialization, and living arrangement. Results: 63.6% of participants reported moderate-to-high levels of parental abuse, with higher prevalence among early emerging adult women (73.7%) compared to early emerging adult men (43.8%), a significant difference. Gender moderated the association between perceived parental abuse and each dimension of subjective wellbeing: life satisfaction ( Conclusion: These findings highlight the enduring influence of familial dynamics and economic dependence on psychological development during emerging adulthood, revealing how patriarchal norms perpetuate abusive behaviors in Egyptian society. While women showed a broader deterioration in wellbeing, spanning life satisfaction and positive affect, the stronger abuse-negative affect association among men indicates that both genders carry distinct vulnerabilities. The results emphasize the urgent need for culturally sensitive interventions that address both familial dynamics and gender-based vulnerabilities, while promoting the psychological wellbeing of emerging adults in Egypt and similar sociocultural contexts.
