The present study examined whether negative coping mediated the relation between exposure to violence and psychological outcomes (posttraumatic stress symptoms, depression, and anxiety) in a sample of 120 inner-city African American adolescents (ages 10 to 14). Increased community violence was shown to be related to the use of negative coping strategies (avoidance, aggression, and internalizing behaviors), which mediated the relation between violence and all three outcomes.
本研究调查了在120名市中心非裔美国青少年（年龄在10至14岁之间）的样本中，消极应对方式是否介导了暴力暴露与心理结果（创伤后应激症状、抑郁和焦虑）之间的关系。研究表明，社区暴力增加与消极应对策略（回避、攻击和内化行为）的使用有关，而消极应对策略介导了暴力与所有这三种结果之间的关系。
