This study examined whether coping moderated the impact of community violence exposure (CVE) on violent behavior among 285 urban African American and Latino adolescent males assessed annually across 5 years. Composites indicating overall CVE (having knowledge of others' victimization, witnessing violence, direct victimization) and approach to coping with CVE were created by averaging across years 1-3 (Time 1; mean ages 14-16). Adolescents classified as coping effectively tended to respond to CVE in beneficial ways (e.g., developing long-term solutions, engaging in positive reappraisal). Violent behavior was examined across years 1-3 (Time 1) and years 4-5 (Time 2; mean ages 18-19). CVE was longitudinally associated with greater violent behavior, adjusting for Time 1 levels of violent behavior. This association was significant only among adolescents with less effective coping strategies. Interventions targeting the enhancement of coping skills may be an effective method of reducing the impact of CVE on adolescent violent behavior.
本研究调查了应对方式是否缓和了社区暴力暴露（CVE）对285名城市非裔美国人和拉丁裔青少年男性暴力行为的影响，这些青少年在5年中每年接受评估。通过对第1 - 3年（时间1；平均年龄14 - 16岁）的数据进行平均，得出了表示总体CVE（知晓他人受害情况、目睹暴力、直接受害）以及应对CVE方式的综合指标。被归类为有效应对的青少年倾向于以有益的方式应对CVE（例如，制定长期解决方案、进行积极的重新评估）。在第1 - 3年（时间1）和第4 - 5年（时间2；平均年龄18 - 19岁）对暴力行为进行了考察。在对时间1的暴力行为水平进行调整后，CVE与更多的暴力行为存在纵向关联。这种关联仅在应对策略不太有效的青少年中显著。针对提高应对技能的干预措施可能是减少CVE对青少年暴力行为影响的有效方法。
