Simple mediating models test the physical and social self-concept in the relationships between childhood trauma experiences and adolescent depression. A to D represent the clinical sample (dataset 1), while E to H represent the community sample (dataset 2). In the models, both childhood trauma severity and CTI are independent variables, adolescent depression is the dependent variable, and physical self-concept and social self-concept act as mediators, respectively. All paths and mediating effects are significant (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01)
