Abstract
ABSTRACT This research aimed to investigate the relationship between stressful life events, trauma, and psychiatric symptoms with psychological resilience as mediator and self-esteem as moderator effects in Syrian adolescents. A total of 1045 Syrian adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years completed the Stressful Life Events Questionnaire, Child and Youth Resilience Measure, Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, Traumatic Stress Response Scale for Adolescents, and Hopkins Symptom Checklist-37A for Adolescents Scale. The study showed that resilience and self-esteem mediated the relationships between the stressful life events and traumatic stress and anxiety, depression, and externalization. Resilience also had a moderator effect on the relationships between stressful life events – traumatic stress response, and stressful life events-depression. The author suggests that resilience and self-esteem play an important role to understand the relationship between stressful life events, trauma, and psychiatric symptoms in Syrian adolescents.
