Does social capital reduce the psychological distress and improve the wellbeing of asylum seekers? Evidence from Israel
Perceived Discrimination as a Moderator between Living Difficulties and Psychological Distress among Asylum Seekers from Darfur
Migration inevitably involves difficulties. These difficulties are more pronounced for refugees and asylum seekers, who also often suffer discrimination. In this study, we examined the impact of living difficulties on the psychological wellbeing of Darfuri asylum seekers in Israel. Based on the stress process theory, we hypothesized that perceived discrimination mediates the relationship between living difficulties and psychological distress, pos…
Teachers' Perspectives
In 2012, Israel deported 500 South-Sudanese refugee children and their families. A year later, a civil war broke out in the young South Sudan and the deportees, along with over one million South-Sudanese citizens, fled to the neighboring Uganda. Since then, many of these children have studied in boarding schools in Uganda. We explore, using qualitative methods, the perceptions and experiences of six Ugandan teachers all working with these childre…
Differential relationships of somatization, depression, and anxiety to severity of Crohn's disease
Patients with Crohn's disease, an inflammatory bowel disease, struggle with chronic somatic symptoms that could bring about emotional distress. This study assessed the relative role of somatization, and depressive and anxiety symptoms in disease activity among 619 Crohn's patients (18-79 years; 58.3% women). Structural equation modeling revealed that somatization was the only unique predictor of disease activity beyond depression and anxiety. In …

During the second stage, themes included experiencing extreme conditio…

A sample of 340 asylum seekers was measured on socio-demographic factors, living difficulties, exposure to en-route trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), perceived discrimination and the Culture Shock Questionnaire (CSQ). Higher levels of culture shock were observed in females, males with PTSD and those from ru…

Immigrant Families
The study examined the association between immigrants' adaptation-as reflected by host-country language proficiency (based on self-ratings)-and their children's psychological well-being in two countries: Germany and Israel. The findings stressed the importance of children's gender in the study of parent-child dyads. Our separate analyses of boys' and girls' subsamples revealed results that were undetected when we analyzed the subsamples of both g…
The Impact of Familial and Environmental Factors on the Adjustment of Immigrants
This study examined the impact of family interaction, perceived discrimination, stressful life events, and the hosting country on the adjustment of Israeli and German immigrants. Results show that changes in self-esteem between the 1st year of immigration and 2 and 4 years later were significantly related to family relations: the better the functioning, the greater the improvement. The patterns of relationships in the family, however, only partia…

French Cette é tude compare la façon dont des immigrants en Israë l et en Allemagne se…
