Recognizing adolescence as a period that holds both opportunities and risks, this study tested whether adolescents in Israel flourish, as defined by the ability to attain high levels of well-being. The study’s main aims were to identify components and processes that enable Israeli adolescents to flourish versus those linked to low levels of flourishing. A convenience sample was comprised of 917 adolescents, age 14–18 (M = 16.13, SD = 0.97), including 599 females and 318 males; 582 were Palestinian Israeli and 335 were Jewish Israeli. Native-tongue questionnaires (in Arabic/Hebrew) assessed: peer and family social support and social undermining (Social Support and Undermining Scale); positive and negative affect (PANAS); and the three subscales of flourishing: emotional, social, and psychological (Mental Health Continuum-Short Form). Using structural equation modeling, the main findings revealed that positive affect mediated the link between supportive resources (by family and peers) and adolescents’ flourishing, while negative affect mediated the link between social undermining (by family and peers) and adolescents’ low levels of flourishing. The same pattern emerged in both cultures, although with full mediation for the Palestinian Israeli group and only partial mediation for the Jewish group. Findings emphasized both social support and positive affect as having implications in designing preventive and treatment programs that target individual adolescents and their families.

这项研究认识到青春期是一个机遇与风险并存的时期，它测试了以色列的青春期是否繁荣，这取决于获得高水平幸福感的能力。该研究的主要目的是确定使以色列青少年能够蓬勃发展的要素和过程与那些与低水平繁荣相关的因素和过程。便利样本包括917位14-18岁的青少年（M = 16.13，SD = 0.97），包括599名女性和318名男性；582是巴勒斯坦以色列人，3​​35是犹太以色列人。评估了使用母语的调查表（阿拉伯语/希伯来语）：同伴和家庭的社会支持和社会破坏（社会支持和破坏规模）；正面和负面影响（PANAS）；以及蓬勃发展的三个子量表：情感，社交和心理（心理健康连续体-简表）。使用结构方程模型，主要发现表明，积极影响介导了支持资源（由家庭和同龄人）与青少年的蓬勃发展之间的联系，而消极影响则介导了社会破坏力（由家庭和同伴）与青少年的低水平生活水平之间的联系。芊芊。在两种文化中也出现了相同的模式，尽管对巴勒斯坦以色列人小组进行了全面调解，而对犹太人集团进行了部分调解。调查结果强调社会支持和积极影响对设计针对个别青少年及其家庭的预防和治疗计划具有影响。而负面影响则介导了社会破坏（家庭和同龄人）与青少年的低水平繁荣之间的联系。在两种文化中也出现了相同的模式，尽管对巴勒斯坦以色列人小组进行了全面调解，而对犹太人集团进行了部分调解。调查结果强调社会支持和积极影响对设计针对青少年和家庭的预防和治疗计划具有影响。而负面影响则介导了社会破坏（家庭和同龄人）与青少年的低水平繁荣之间的联系。在两种文化中也出现了相同的模式，尽管对巴勒斯坦以色列人小组进行了全面调解，而对犹太人集团进行了部分调解。调查结果强调社会支持和积极影响对设计针对青少年和家庭的预防和治疗计划具有影响。
