Abstract
Expressive flexibility (EF) has been proposed as a mechanism of resilience. The current study found that EF moderates family outcomes due to Exposure to COVID-related events. Exposure did not predict Distress or Impact in families and adolescents with higher (+1SD) EF, but it did in families with lower (-1SD) EF.
