Although they all did turn out nice in the end.
A six-month study in the University's School of Psychology found that rather than 'toughening up' individuals, adverse experiences in childhood and adolescence meant that these people were vulnerable to being mislead. The research analysing results from 60 participants suggest that such people could, for example, be more open to suggestion in police interrogations or to be influenced by the media or advertising campaigns. The study found that while some people may indeed become more 'hard-nosed' through adversity, the majority become less trusting of their own judgement.
