Abstract
We examined the relationship between childhood adversity experience (ACE) and college adjustment as mediated by executive functioning and coping. Those with high ACEs reported greater cognitive failure and negative coping. The relationship between ACEs and adjustment was fully mediated by negative coping. Cognitive failure made a unique contribution to adjustment.
