The sample was divided into three groups based on ACE scores: 0 ACE ( n = 93), 1–3 ACEs ( n = 95), ≥4 ACEs ( n = 42). Self-report measurements were included to examine the following psychological factors: adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), experience of creativity questionnaire, dispositional flow, trait anxiety, internalized shame, fantasy, and total adult and childhood traumatic events.
