Sažetak

Background: The current research investigates the relationship between Emotional Dysregulation, Coping Strategies and
Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms in adolescents living at Line of Control (LOC).
Subjects and Methods: Cross-sectional research design was used. The sample of 400 adolescent participants was drawn
from different private and government schools by using convenient random sampling. The tools employed for collecting data included
Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz & Roemer 2004), Coping Strategies Scale for Adolescents (Sharif & Saleem 2014), and
Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms Checklist (Foa et al. 1993).
Results: Results of the study revealed that Emotional Dysregulation and Emotion Focused Coping had a positive and highly
significant relationship with Post-traumatic stress symptoms. It was also revealed that Emotional Dysregulation and Emotion Focused
Coping positively predicted Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms. Implications of the study and a few limitations have been discussed.
Conclusion: The findings of this study will help in regulating adolescents’ psychological well-being by helping future researchers
in not only understanding the coping strategies these children are employing at the moment but also developing and enhancing in
them the healthy coping styles which they are currently not using. Furthermore, the unique nature of non-combatant civilian trauma
remains to be understood from several other perspectives, to which this research was only a foundation stone.
