Studies of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and psychopathy have demonstrated relationships between each of these constructs and trauma exposure. Coping skill utilization is one mechanism proposed to influence the relation between trauma and such negative psychological outcomes. The present study was designed to assess the moderational role of coping in a population of juvenile delinquents, as this group reliably demonstrates high rates of trauma exposure and increased risk for negative psychological sequelae. Juveniles in this sample reported increased rates of traumatic family experiences, PTSD symptoms, and both approach-oriented and avoidant coping, when compared to previously-reported normative means. Coping did not play a moderating role in the relations between trauma and PTSD, nor in the relationship between familial trauma and psychopathy. The coping strategy of cognitive avoidance, however, did moderate the relation between neighborhood violence and psychopathy. A strong relationship was observed between these variables in those youth who endorsed engaging in high levels of cognitive avoidance, while no relationship existed when cognitive avoidance was utilized less. The variables which directly influenced PTSD symptom severity were trauma scores (both family and neighborhood) and behavioral avoidant coping. The coping strategy involving problem solving had a primary effect on psychopathy scores, demonstrating an inverse relationship. These results suggest that clinical interventions for PTSD should target behavioral avoidance, and that Problem Solving Skills Training (PSST) should continue to be utilized with delinquent youth. The need for continued research on the construct of psychopathy in youth and its relation to symptoms of PTSD is highlighted.
