Abstract: This three-year longitudinal study examined CPTSD symptoms in 2,063 college students with adverse childhood experiences. Using identified symptom trajectories, cross-lagged panel network analysis revealed distinct patterns, including high-risk and resistance groups. In the high-risk group, "Disturbed relationships" emerged as the most influential symptom driving the development of other CPTSD symptoms.
