When a secure bond is broken, such as in the context of betrayal trauma, children fail to develop necessary emotion regulation skills which can lead to an array of relational problems. The current study examined the relations between betrayal trauma history, type of communication during a stressful interpersonal laboratory task, and emotion regulation difficulties in a sample of trauma-exposed adolescents. Results showed that adolescents with a betrayal trauma history reported more emotion regulation difficulties and exhibited more aggressive and fewer positive communication behaviors when engaged in a stressful interpersonal task with their mothers than did adolescents exposed only to nonbetrayal trauma. Emotion regulation difficulties mediated the relation between betrayal trauma history and negative communication. The clinical and developmental implications from these findings are discussed.JacobyVanessa MVM1 West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA.KrackowElisaE1 West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA.ScottiJoseph RJR2 WHOLE Families / WHOLE Veterans, PLLC, Morgantown, WV, USA.engJournal Article20160922
