In countries with sociopolitical conflicts, children are exposed to traumatic events as a result of child abuse and sociopolitical violence. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the exposure to both forms of adverse childhood experiences on the executive planning abilities in adults from the general population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>The history of child abuse and sociopolitical violence during childhood was assessed, as well as the executive planning abilities, in 59 adults older than 49 without cognitive impairment or depressive disorder.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the sample, 88.1% experienced at least one child abuse event and 47.5% was exposed to sociopolitical violence. Sexual abuse and physical abuse (child abuse) were associated with reduced performance in executive planning. Forced displacement and extortion (sociopolitical violence) had a mixed relationship with planning ability, improving some aspects, and worsening some others. Kidnapping was associated with increased capacity and control of the working memory and executive planning.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The traumatic events during childhood have differential effects on the executive planning skills in the adult life. The exposure to sexual and physical abuse negatively affects executive skills; on the other hand, sociopolitical violence has a mixed or positive impact. Specifically, kidnapping favors the executive planning processes, probably under an evolutionary adaptive mechanism.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2021.693741","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,15]],"date-time":"2022-02-15T06:56:34Z","timestamp":1644908194000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Effect of Exposure to Socio-Political Violence and Abuse During Childhood on Executive Planning in Adult Life"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"David Andr\u00e9s","family":"Montoya-Arenas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Londo\u00f1o-Guzm\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 G.","family":"Franco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana M.","family":"Gaviria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1599","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2016.01599","article-title":"Temporal information processing and its relation to executive functions in elderly individuals","volume":"7","author":"Nowak","year":"2016","journal-title":"Front Psychol."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"435","DOI":"10.33588\/rn.4808.2008265","article-title":"Maturation of the prefrontal cortex and development of the executive functions during the first five years of life","volume":"48","author":"Garc\u00eda-Molina","year":"2009","journal-title":"Rev Neurol."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"892","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuron.2016.01.019","article-title":"Paradise lost: the neurobiological and clinical consequences of child abuse and neglect","volume":"89","author":"Nemeroff","year":"2016","journal-title":"Neuron."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"16m11021","DOI":"10.4088\/JCP.16m11021","article-title":"Childhood trauma is associated with poorer cognitive performance in older adults","volume":"79","author":"Petkus","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Clin Psychiatry."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2012.04.010","article-title":"Can traumatic stress alter the brain?
