The aim of this research is to evaluate the impact of stressing and/or traumatic experiences on emotional and behavioural problematic outcome in an school sample of adolescents, examining the possible presence of dissociative states and the use of specific defensive mechanisms. Within a psychological interview during school time, 466 adolescents have been assessed with following self-report tools: The Life-Stressor Checklist Revised, Youth Self-Report 11/18, Adolescent-Dissociative Experiences Scale and Response Evaluation Measure-71. The results of statistical analyses show a significant effect of interpersonal and cumulative stressing and/or traumatic experiences on psychological distress symptoms outcome, associating with depersonalization/derealization experiences and with a use of immature defensive mechanisms. The authors underline how a complex trauma could lead to deficits in several areas such as emotional and behavioural regulation.
