Abstract

Childhood is a developmental stage that is vulnerable to psychological impacts, especially when children experience traumatic events such as natural disasters. This study aims to examine the relationship between resilience and coping trauma, with social support as a mediating variable in post-disaster children in Ponorogo. This study uses a quantitative approach with survey methods and mediation analysis techniques. The participants of this study are children aged 9–12 years old who were victims of the disaster in the Ponorogo area, with a sample of 899 children. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results of the study show that resilience has a positive and significant effect on coping trauma. In addition, social support is also able to partially mediate the relationship between resilience and coping trauma. These findings provide theoretical and practical implications for the development of psychosocial interventions in post-disaster children.
