ObjectiveThis article examines direct and moderating effects of age on coping preferences for psychological distress among a sample of trauma-exposed adults to inform treatment approaches for this population.MethodUsing data from a community survey of trauma-exposed, urban-dwelling adults (n= 181), direct and moderating effects of coping preferences on the relationship between age and psychological distress were examined using hierarchical linear regression.ResultsDirect effects with distress were supported for age, gender, and coping preferences of avoidance and positive reframing. No direct effects with problem-focused coping were present; however, a significant interaction resulted with the relationship between age and level of reported distress.DiscussionProblem-focused coping may provide a buffering effect on experiences with distress for older trauma-exposed adults. Findings highlight the benefits of directive and action-oriented approaches to care for aging adults. Implications for future intervention research and clinical considerations for treating trauma over the life course are discussed.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
