ABSTRACT

Objective

The current paper uses the Conservation of Resources Theory to frame an examination of the impact of exposure to political violence on posttraumatic stress symptomology among three groups within Israeli society: (1) Native Born Jews; (2) Foreign Born Jews; and (3) Palestinian Citizens of Israel.

Methods

The study population was a large nationally representative sample of 1613 respondents collected during The Second Intifada. The sample consists of approximately 40% Jews born in Israel (n = 652), 30% (n = 484) were Jews who immigrated to Israel, and close to 30% (n = 477) were Palestinian Citizens of Israel. Mediation analyses explored the role of resource loss in the relationship between social status and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity.

Results

Compared to native born Jews, foreign born Jews and Palestinian Citizens of Israel reported greater PTSD symptom severity at wave III. These relationships were not mediated by psychosocial resource loss or economic resource loss.

Conclusions

We discuss the importance of tailored interventions with minority groups in the context of ongoing political violence.

政治暴力对创伤后应激症状的影响：纵向分析

摘要

客观的

当前的论文使用资源保护理论来研究暴露于政治暴力对以色列社会中三个群体的创伤后应激症状的影响：（1）土生土长的犹太人；(2) 外国出生的犹太人；(3) 以色列的巴勒斯坦公民。

方法

研究人群是在第二次起义期间收集的 1613 名受访者的大型全国代表性样本。样本包括大约 40% 出生在以色列的犹太人 ( n  = 652)，30% ( n  = 484) 是移民到以色列的犹太人，接近 30% ( n  = 477) 是以色列的巴勒斯坦公民。调解分析探讨了资源损失在社会地位与创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 症状严重程度之间关系中的作用。

结果

与本土出生的犹太人相比，外国出生的犹太人和以色列的巴勒斯坦公民在第三波中报告了更严重的 PTSD 症状。这些关系不是由社会心理资源损失或经济资源损失所调节的。

结论

我们讨论了在持续的政治暴力背景下针对少数群体进行量身定制的干预措施的重要性。
