This study examined the relation between exposure to violence and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) of adolescents and the moderator effects of resilience, self-esteem and social support. Measures of exposure to violence, resilience, self-esteem, social support and PTSD symptoms were administered on 280 secondary school adolescents randomly selected from Kwara state, Nigeria. Data were analysed using hierarchical multiple regression. Exposure to violence was positively related to PTSD. The relationship between exposure to violence and PTSD was moderated by resilience, self-esteem and social support such that the relationship was weaker for adolescents having higher levels of the moderators. The implications of the findings in terms of providing counselling interventions for the adolescents exposed to violence were discussed.

• Interaction of athletes' resilience and coaches' social support on the stress-burnout relationship: A conjunctive moderation perspective (2016, background): “This provides a rationale for studying the stress-burnout relationship from a resilience perspective because much research indicates that resilient individuals can maintain health and wellbeing even high in stress (Fischbacher, 2014; Noor & Alwi, 2013; Salami, 2010; Windle, Woods, & Markland, 2011).”
