Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a hopeful future orientation (FO) has a protective effect for adolescents who have experienced trauma. Adolescent FO moderated the relation between level of trauma exposure and delinquent behaviors, though it did not moderate the relation between trauma experiences and PTSD symptoms.
