Ecological theory suggests that exposure to community violence should be related to individual, family, and community characteristics; traumatic stress theory suggests that exposure to community violence should be related to level of psychological distress. A correlational study of 468 older adolescents in New York City tested these hypotheses. Exposure was found to be moderately related to level of psychological distress, but was not related to family or neighborhood characteristics. It was concluded that the nature of exposure to community violence poses difficulties for interventions aimed at either prevention or amelioration of effects.
生态理论表明，接触社区暴力应与个人、家庭和社区特征相关；创伤应激理论表明，接触社区暴力应与心理困扰程度相关。一项针对纽约市468名大龄青少年的相关性研究对这些假设进行了检验。研究发现，接触与心理困扰程度存在中度相关，但与家庭或邻里特征无关。研究得出结论，接触社区暴力的性质给旨在预防或减轻其影响的干预措施带来了困难。
