Abstract
People differ in how much they feel mistreated by others. Using a recently developed scale, we found that the tendency to feel mistreated is linked to childhood trauma, self-criticism, an inconsistent and unclear self-concept, and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies. Such individuals also attribute negativity to others after receiving negative feedback.
