  • Exposure to child sexual abuse materials among law enforcement investigative personnel: Exploring trauma and resilience profiles

    Open Access•Kimberly Mitchell, Ateret Gewirtz‐meydan et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Trauma Theory…•2024

    The study underscores the diversity of experiences among law enforcement professionals conducting CSAM investigations. Resilient profiles highlight the importance of factors like mattering, appreciation, support, and a positive work climate. These findings have implications for wellness training and agency practices to enhance the well-being of investigators dedicated to protecting children.

  • The Effect of Attachment Diversity on Team Performance and the Moderating Role of Perceived Organizational Support

    Open Access•A Reizer, Ofri Schechter et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Psychology•2021

    Attachment personality theory provides an interpersonal and relational perspective of human functioning. The current research examines the role of attachment diversity within the theoretical framework of the categorization‐elaboration model (CEM). We hypothesized that teams comprised of diverse attachment orientations would be beneficial to team performance. Specifically, diverse anxiety teams may have members who would be more vigilant to team t…

  • To die for a cause but not for a companion: Attachment-related variations in the terror management function of self-sacrifice

    Nesia Caspi-Berkowitz, Mario Mikulincer et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2019•References: 6

    In 8 studies, we examined the terror management function of self-sacrifice and the moderating role of attachment orientations. Studies 1-5 focused on readiness to self-sacrifice for a cause, whereas Studies 6-8 focused on self-sacrifice to save a relationship partner's life. In Studies 1-3 and 6, we examined whether mortality salience increases readiness to self-sacrifice. In Studies 4-5 and 7-8, we examined the defensive nature and anxiety-buffe…

  • Effective Disengagement: Insecure People Are More Likely to Disengage From an Ongoing Task and Take Effective Action When Facing Danger

    Open Access•Tsachi Ein-Dor, Adi Perry‐Paldi et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2018

    OBJECTIVE: People believe that they can respond effectively to threats, but actually they experience difficulties in disengaging from ongoing tasks and shifting their attention to life-threatening events. We contend that this tendency is especially true for secure people with respect to their worldview and perception of others and not for insecure individuals. METHOD: In Study 1 (N = 290), we examined individuals' reactions to various threat scen…

  • Collective Trauma From the Lab to the Real World: The Effects of the Holocaust on Contemporary Israeli Political Cognitions

    Open Access•Daphna Canetti, Gilad Hirschberger et al.•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2018•Cited by: 30•References: 25

    This research tested whether chronic or contextually activated Holocaust exposure is associated with more extreme political attitudes among Israeli Jews. Study 1 (N = 57), and Study 2 (N = 61) found that Holocaust primes increased support for aggressive policies against a current adversary and decreased support for political compromise via an amplified sense of identification with Zionist ideology. These effects, however, were obtained only under…

  • Mortality salience reduces tactile attention among people with low body esteem

    Jonathan Beyrak-Lev, Zach Gerber et al.•ARTICLE•Death Studies•2017•Cited by: 1•References: 6

    Death awareness leads to aversion from bodily processes such as breastfeeding and sex, especially among low body esteem individuals. Using a modality bias task, we examined whether primes of death reduced attention to bodily sensations. We subliminally primed 72 undergraduates with either the word death or failed and assessed their attention to tactile and visual stimuli as a function of their body esteem. Results indicated that death primes sign…

  • Friend or foe? Evidence that anxious people are better at distinguishing targets from non‐targets

    Open Access•Tsachi Ein-Dor, Tsachi Ein‐dor et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2017•References: 23

    Armed conflict necessitates the ability to quickly distinguish friend from foe. Failure to make accurate shooting decisions may result in harm either to oneself or to innocent others. The factors that predict such rapid decision making, however, remain unclear. Based on social defense theory, we contend that people high on attachment anxiety possess characteristics that are particularly advantageous in this domain such that anxiously attached ind…

  • When criticism is ineffective: The case of historical trauma and unsupportive allies

    Open Access•Gilad Hirschberger, Uri Lifshin et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2017•Cited by: 5•References: 42

    Three studies examined the effect of historical trauma reminders and criticism from international allies on attitudes toward current conflicts. In Study 1, Israeli participants ( N = 116) were primed with the Holocaust, and read either that the U.S. President Obama supports Israel's right to defend itself and attack Iran, or that he opposes such action. Then, support for preemptive violence was assessed. Study 2 ( N = 133) replicated this design,…

  • Full House of Fears: Evidence That People High in Attachment Anxiety Are More Accurate in Detecting Deceit

    Open Access•Tsachi Ein-Dor, Adi Perry•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2014

    Lying is deep‐rooted in our nature, as over 90% of all people lie. Laypeople, however, do only slightly better than chance when detecting lies and deceptions. Recently, attachment anxiety was linked with people's hypervigilance toward threat‐related cues. Accordingly, we tested whether attachment anxiety predicts people's ability to detect deceit and to play poker—a game that is based on players' ability to detect cheating. In Study 1, 202 partic…

  • The avoidance cocoon: Examining the interplay between attachment and caregiving in predicting relationship satisfaction

    Open Access•A Reizer, Tsachi Ein-Dor et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2014•Cited by: 3•References: 43

    In the present research, we examined the hypothesis that low avoidance enables the activation of the caregiving system, and therefore, among people low in avoidance, caregiving would affect relationship satisfaction, whereas among people high in avoidance, caregiving would not affect relationship satisfaction. One‐hundred seventy‐nine Israeli adults, currently involved in romantic relationships, participated in Study 1, in which we examined wheth…

  • Sore Losers: On Perceptions of Defeat and Displaced Retaliation

    Open Access•Tsachi Ein-Dor, Gilad Hirschberger•ARTICLE•Social Psychological and…•2013

    This research examined whether perceptions of defeat instigate a motivation to retaliate and displace aggression toward an adversary’s affiliates. In Study 1, 147 Israeli participants were primed with perceptions of victory, defeat, or assigned to a neutral condition and then rated their willingness to wage war against a weak foe or a strong foe. Perceptions of defeat increased support of military action against a weak foe but not against a stron…

  • An experimental study of emotion regulation during relationship conflict interactions: The moderating role of attachment orientations

    Shiri Ben‐Naim, Shiri Ben-Naim et al.•ARTICLE•Emotion•2013

    Romantic couples (N = 127) engaged in a relationship conflict interaction during which their autonomic physiology, emotional experience, and emotional behavior were recorded. Couples were assigned randomly to one of two interventions, or to a control condition: In the affective suppression condition, one partner was instructed to refrain from expressing emotions. In the positive mindset condition, one partner was instructed to think about the pos…

  • Delayed‐onset PTSD After Combat: The Role of Social Resources

    Open Access•Danny Horesh, Zahava Solomon et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community Psychology•2013•References: 45

    Delayed‐onset posttraumatic stress disorder (DPTSD) has been under medico‐legal debate for years. Previous studies examining the prevalence and underlying mechanisms of DPTSD have yielded inconclusive findings. This study examined the role of social resources and warzone exposure in DPTSD. Six hundred and seventy‐five Israeli veterans from the 1982 Lebanon War, 369 with antecedent combat stress reaction (CSR) and 306 without CSR, were assessed pr…

  • Standoffish Perhaps, but Successful as Well: Evidence That Avoidant Attachment Can Be Beneficial in Professional Tennis and Computer Science

    Open Access•Tsachi Ein-Dor, A Reizer et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2012

    Attachment‐related avoidance and anxiety have repeatedly been associated with poorer adjustment in various social, emotional, and behavioral domains. We examined 2 domains in which avoidant individuals might be better equipped than their less avoidant peers to succeed and be satisfied—professional singles tennis and computer science. These fields may reward self‐reliance, independence, and the ability to work without proximal social support from …

  • Scared saviors: Evidence that people high in attachment anxiety are more effective in alerting others to threat

    Open Access•Tsachi Ein-Dor, Tsachi Ein‐dor et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2012•Cited by: 2•References: 18

    Attachment‐related anxiety has repeatedly been associated with poorer adjustment in various social, emotional, and behavioral domains. Building on social defense theory, we examined a possible advantage of having some group members who score high in attachment anxiety – a heightened tendency to deliver a warning message without delay. We led participants to believe that they accidently activated a computer virus that erased an experimenter's comp…

  • Sexual healing: Daily diary evidence that sex relieves stress for men and women in satisfying relationships

    Open Access•Tsachi Ein-Dor, Gilad Hirschberger•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2012•Cited by: 13•References: 27

    Research investigating the link between stress and sexual activity has been limited and the findings equivocal. We examined the stress-sexual activity link and the moderating effects of gender and relationship satisfaction using a daily diary methodology. Seventy-five heterosexual Israeli adults were asked in an initial session to report on their relationship satisfaction. Then, these participants were asked to provide daily diary measures of str…

  • Living at risk: Dyadic examination of the links among environmental stress, attachment orientations and marital support provision

    Open Access•A Reizer, Tsachi Ein-Dor et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2012•Cited by: 6•References: 45

    The current research examined whether the associations between attachment orientations and support provision are mediated by personal distress, and whether these mediation paths are moderated by exposure to geopolitical stress. One-hundred and thirty-three married couples, who were exposed to different levels of geopolitical stress, participated in the study. We found that personal distress mediated the link between attachment anxiety and support…

  • Effective Reaction to Danger: Attachment Insecurities Predict Behavioral Reactions to an Experimentally Induced Threat Above and Beyond General Personality Traits

    Open Access•Tsachi Ein-Dor, Mario Mikulincer et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychological and…•2011

    People who score high on attachment anxiety or avoidance display poorer adjustment than secure individuals in various social, emotional, and behavioral domains. Yet it may be advantageous for groups to include insecure as well as secure members. The authors tested predictions from social defense theory concerning advantages to groups of including members with different attachment patterns. A total of 46 groups were unobtrusively observed in a thr…

  • Posttraumatic growth and posttraumatic distress: A longitudinal study

    Sharon Dekel, Tsachi Ein-Dor et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Trauma Theory…•2011

    This longitudinal study examined the course and bidirectional relation between posttraumatic distress and posttraumatic growth (PTG). A sample of Israeli ex-prisoners of war and matched controls were followed over 17 years. Participants’ posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety symptoms were measured at three time-points. PTG was assessed twice. Applying an autoregressive cross-lagged modeling strategy, initial PTSD predicted…

  • Attachment insecurities and the processing of threat-related information: Studying the schemas involved in insecure people's coping strategies

    Tsachi Ein-Dor, Mario Mikulincer et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2011•Cited by: 17

    In 6 studies we examined procedural, scriptlike knowledge associated with 2 different kinds of attachment insecurity: anxiety and avoidance. The studies examined associations between attachment insecurities, the cognitive accessibility of sentinel and rapid fight-flight schemas, and the extent to which these schemas guide the processing of threat-related information and actual behavior during an experimentally induced threatening event. Anxious a…

  • Environmental threat influences psychological distress and marital satisfaction among avoidantly attached individuals

    Open Access•A Reizer, Chaya Possick et al.•ARTICLE•Personal Relationships•2010

    This research examined the impact of stressful environments on marital relationships. In all, 133 Israeli couples exposed to different levels of terror threat and political uncertainty completed measures of attachment orientation, psychological distress, and marital satisfaction. Results indicated that in low-threat areas, spouses high on attachment avoidance did not express distress despite their marital dissatisfaction. In contrast, in high-thr…

  • The pushes and pulls of close relationships: Attachment insecurities and relational ambivalence

    Mario Mikulincer, P R Shaver et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2010•Cited by: 42

    Attachment theorists have emphasized that attachment-anxious individuals are ambivalent in their relational tendencies, wishing to be close to their relationship partners but also fearing rejection. Here we report 6 studies examining the contribution of attachment anxiety and experimentally induced relational contexts (both positive and negative) to explicit and implicit manifestations of (a) attitudinal ambivalence toward a romantic partner and …

We contend that this tendency is especially true for secure people with respect to their worldview and perception of others and not for insecure individuals. METHOD: In Study 1 (N = 290), we examined individuals' reactions to various threat scen…

    Open Access•A Reizer, Ofri Schechter et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Psychology•2021

    Attachment personality theory provides an interpersonal and relational perspective of human functioning.
