The aim of the study was to examine whether mentalization serves as a  protective factor against aggressive behavior in adolescence in the context  of early traumatization. We present data from a non-clinical sample of  adolescents from Germany (n=97) and calculate a mediation model to test the  link between early traumatic experiences and aggressive behavior with  mentalizing skills as a mediator. Mentalization was assessed with the  Reflective Functioning Scale on the Adult-Attachment-Interview and aggressive  behavior was measured with the Reactive-Proactive-Aggression-Questionnaire.  Traumatic experience was operationalized as physical and/or sexual abuse as  reported in the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse Questionnaire. Results  show a complete mediation for Reflective Functioning on the relationship  between early abuse and aggressive behavior. Thus, the findings of the study  support an understanding of mentalizing as a protective factor for the  relationship between early abusive experience and the development of  aggressive behavior. Clinical implications are discussed
