Studies assessing the impact of trauma often focus on a single traumatic event and do not consider the impact of repeated traumas that accumulate over the lifespan. While many individuals who are victimized by exposure to traumatic stress show resiliency to these experiences, others have been identified as having greater neuropsychological impairment and increased psychopathology in the form of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. To date, there is little research exploring associations between poly-victimization and executive dysfunction. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the cumulative experience of poly-victimization and the impact of these experiences on neuropsychological functioning and the development of stress related disorders in a sample of 147 undergraduate college students. The Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ) was used to measure poly-victimization and to assess previous exposure to trauma during childhood. The Frontal Systems Behavior Scale (FrSBe) and the Iowa Gambling Task measured executive functioning. To assess anxiety/depression, the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (Kessler-10) was administered. The Impact of Event Scale- Revised (IES-R) assessed PTSD symptoms. The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was used to measure alcohol use. Additionally, the Inventory of College Students Recent Life Experiences (ICSRLE) assessed recent life hassles/stressors. Hierarchical multiple regression revealed that the number of reported traumatic events on the JVQ led to a statistically significant increase in the prediction of executive dysfunction on the FrSBe. The number of traumatic events on the JVQ led to statistically significant increases in the scores on the Kessler-10 and IES-R. Psychopathology was also found to significantly predict greater executive dysfunction on the FrSBe. The extent to which poly-victimization and executive dysfunction predicted the presence of psychopathology was also explored. Overall, results suggest that the number of traumatic events during childhood and adolescence is predictive of executive dysfunction and increased scores on measures of stress-related psychopathology. Moreover, these results suggest self-report measures such as the FrSBe, which was designed be an ecologically valid measure to detect changes following frontal lobe damage, may be more sensitive to identifying executive dysfunction following trauma than performance-based measures, such as the Iowa Gambling Task.
