ABSTRACT

The current study explored the association between family resilience, anxiety, and individual resilience of adolescents in times of ongoing security threats. We examined 89 dyads of parents and adolescents exposed to rocket attacks for 13 years. The investigated variables included exposure to security threats, gender, anxiety, individual resilience, self-differentiation, and family resilience. The results indicate that youth who believed their family to be resilient were also more individually resilient and suffered less anxiety in the face of security tensions. Furthermore, adolescents with higher self-differentiation reported higher individual resilience. Adolescents’ perceptions of family resilience mediated the relationship between the parents’ perceptions of family resilience and the adolescents’ individual resilience and anxiety. It was also found that mothers and daughters reported more anxiety than fathers and sons and that adolescents displayed higher levels of self-differentiation than their parents. Overall, the results indicate that family resilience is the collective product of a shared and interactive process. The practical implications of the results include guidelines for developing programmes for families aimed to increase family resilience by enhancing their skills, such as positive family communication and problem solving skills, in order to increase their adolescents’ individual resilience.

摘要

目前的研究探讨了家庭弹性、焦虑和青少年在持续安全威胁时的个人弹性之间的关系。我们检查了 13 年遭受火箭袭击的 89 对父母和青少年。调查的变量包括暴露于安全威胁、性别、焦虑、个人复原力、自我分化和家庭复原力。结果表明，相信自己的家庭有韧性的年轻人也更有个人韧性，面对安全紧张局势时的焦虑更少。此外，具有较高自我分化的青少年报告了较高的个体复原力。青少年对家庭韧性的感知在父母对家庭韧性的感知与青少年个体韧性和焦虑之间起中介作用。研究还发现，母亲和女儿比父亲和儿子更焦虑，青少年比父母表现出更高水平的自我分化。总体而言，结果表明，家庭复原力是共享和互动过程的集体产物。结果的实际意义包括为家庭制定计划的指导方针，旨在通过提高他们的技能来提高家庭韧性，例如积极的家庭沟通和解决问题的技能，以提高青少年的个人韧性。结果表明，家庭复原力是共享和互动过程的集体产物。结果的实际意义包括为家庭制定计划的指导方针，旨在通过提高他们的技能来提高家庭韧性，例如积极的家庭沟通和解决问题的技能，以提高青少年的个人韧性。结果表明，家庭复原力是共享和互动过程的集体产物。结果的实际意义包括为家庭制定计划的指导方针，旨在通过提高他们的技能来提高家庭韧性，例如积极的家庭沟通和解决问题的技能，以提高青少年的个人韧性。
