The study found that neither hurricane-related life-threatening experiences nor hurricane-related loss and disruption were distinctively related to conduct problems in the study sample. This finding is inconsistent with past literature, which has found evidence of a positive link between disaster exposure and aggressive or delinquent behavior. The finding that boys and older youth exhibited more conduct problems is well-supported in the literature. Significant main effects for corporal punishment also emerged, but these effects were qualified by interactions. Hypotheses that predicted a moderating effect of hurricane exposure on the relation between ECV and conduct problems were partially supported. As expected, results showed that children with low levels of hurricane-related life-threatening experiences manifested conduct problems in a different manner than those children with high levels of hurricane threat. Although the patterns of relations found were not statistically significant, there was a tendency for youth who experienced low levels of hurricane exposure to show an increase in conduct problems; whereas, those experiencing higher levels showed decreases in conduct problems. The study found that exposure to a disaster is a risk factor for conduct problems among youth who are already exposed to corporal punishment. At low levels of hurricane exposure, there was not a significant difference in conduct problems between youth experiencing low compared to high levels of corporal punishment; however, with heightened hurricane exposure, higher levels of corporal punishment predicted increased conduct problems more so than low levels of corporal punishment.
