The current study investigated whether children\u2019s use and perceived efficacy of avoidant, internalized, angry, and active\/social coping strategies were associated with caregiver- and child-reported posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and caregiver-reported internalizing and externalizing symptoms among 202 sexually abused children (8-12 years; M = 10.47 years, SD = 1.70 years). Children reported using approximately eight types of coping strategies ( M = 8.29, SD =2.50). Regression models indicated that internalized and angry coping were associated with child-reported PTSS. In contrast to expectations, none of the types of coping strategies were linked with caregiver\u2019s reports of PTSS or internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Interestingly, perceived efficacy of coping was largely unrelated to symptoms, with only perceived efficacy of avoidant coping inversely related to child-reported PTSS. Perceived efficacy was not tied to caregiver\u2019s reports of children\u2019s symptoms. Coping strategies may be associated with children\u2019s, but not caregiver\u2019s, reports of children\u2019s trauma-related difficulties. Furthermore, perceived efficacy of coping strategies may also be largely unrelated to children\u2019s symptoms, or children may have limited insight regarding the efficacy of their coping strategies. To further inform trauma-focused interventions that support effective long-term coping, future research should investigate which coping strategies children perceive to be efficacious, as well as potential reasons why.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260519863726","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,26]],"date-time":"2019-07-26T06:26:12Z","timestamp":1564122372000},"page":"9077-9099","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Children\u2019s Coping and Perceptions of Coping Efficacy After Sexual Abuse: Links to Trauma Symptoms"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Claudia L.","family":"Campbell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Missouri\u2013St. Louis, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8662-3959","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachel","family":"Wamser-Nanney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Missouri\u2013St. Louis, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia C.","family":"Sager","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Missouri\u2013St. Louis, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0886260519863726","first-page":"99","volume-title":"Manual for the ASEBA school-age forms & profiles","author":"Achenbach T.
