OBJECTIVE: Adult research employing script-driven imagery procedures has shown the method to be a valuable tool for studying the nature, correlates, and consequences of trauma and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). The purpose of the current study was to examine the validity of a trauma-focused script-driven imagery procedure among youth. METHOD: Responding to script-driven imagery was examined in relation to PTSS among 60 traumatic event-exposed adolescents, ages 10 to 17 years. RESULTS: In support of concurrent validity, PTSS was associated with self-reported anxiety, fear, disgust, and distress responses to the script. Script-elicited reexperiencing, dissociation, and total state-symptoms were associated with interview-measured severity of PTSS. However, neither script-elicited avoidance symptoms nor physiological reactivity to the script were related to PTSS. In support of discriminant validity, adolescents' self-reported thought problems were not related to script-elicited affective, physiological, or state-symptom outcomes. CONCLUSION: Research is needed to understand why certain variables, such as physiological reactivity to the script, did not relate to PTSS. However, results suggest the traumatic event-focused script driven imagery procedure is a useful method for activating a trauma-related emotion network and measuring psychological reactivity to reminders of traumatic event cues among adolescents.
