This research explored the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms in children exposed to domestic violence. Existing research does not address the issue regarding the PTSD responses of children who are witness to domestic violence vary in severity from children who were directly victimized. This research used the CAPS-CA to assess 17 PTSD symptoms in three clusters (reexperiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal) as identified by the DSM-IV-TR for 77 children. These children fell into two groups, with different levels of exposure to violence in their home. Participants in the indirect victim group ( n=49) were witnesses to domestic violence, however they denied physical abuse. Participants in the combined victim group (n=28) were both witnesses of domestic violence and victims of physical abuse. Using a MANOVA, these two groups were compared on PTSD criterion B (reexperiencing), C (avoidance), and D (hyperarousal). Second, an ANOVA was conducted to assess if indirect victims experienced more hyperarousal symptoms than combined victims. The third analysis was another ANOVA to assess if combined victims experienced more avoidance symptoms than indirect victims. The results of these analyses revealed that the null hypothesis could not be rejected as there was no significant difference between these groups on any of the three symptom clusters.
