Political violence exposure and youth aggression in the context of the social ecological systems and family stress models: A four-wave prospective study of Israeli and Palestinian youth
Based on the social ecological systems framework and the family stress model, we examine a model in which the family’s exposure to ethnic-political violence in the Middle East predicts negative family functioning, which in turn predicts subsequent harsh physical punishment toward one’s children, and in turn, children’s aggression by late adolescence/early adulthood. Beginning in 2007, we collected four waves of data from Israeli Jewish ( N = 451 …
Consequences of Exposure to War Violence: Discriminating Those with Heightened Risk for Aggression from Those with Heightened Risk for Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms
Chronic exposure to ethnic-political and war violence has deleterious effects throughout childhood. Some youths exposed to war violence are more likely to act aggressively afterwards, and some are more likely to experience post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTS symptoms). However, the concordance of these two outcomes is not strong, and it is unclear what discriminates between those who are at more risk for one or the other. Drawing on prior researc…
Serious violent behavior and antisocial outcomes as consequences of exposure to ethnic‐political conflict and violence among Israeli and Palestinian youth
We examine whether cumulative-past and concurrent exposure to ethnic-political violence among Israeli and Palestinian youth predict serious violent behavior and antisocial outcomes toward the in-group and the out-group. We collected four waves of data from 162 Israeli Jewish and 400 Palestinian youths (three age cohorts: 8, 11, and 14 years old) and their parents. The first three waves were consecutive annual assessments, and the fourth was condu…
The Longitudinal Effects of Chronic Mediated Exposure to Political Violence on Ideological Beliefs About Political Conflicts Among Youths
This study examines the effects of chronic (i.e., repeated and cumulative) mediated exposure to political violence on ideological beliefs regarding political conflict. It centers on these effects on young viewers, from preadolescents to adolescents. Ideological beliefs refers here to support of war, perception of threat to one's nation, and normative beliefs concerning aggression toward the out-group. A longitudinal study was conducted on a sampl…
Negative Stereotypes of Ethnic Outgroups: A Longitudinal Examination Among P alestinian, I sraeli J ewish, and I sraeli A rab Youth
Ethno-political conflict impacts thousands of youth globally and has been associated with a number of negative psychological outcomes. Extant literature has mostly addressed the adverse emotional and behavioral outcomes of exposure while failing to examine change over time in social-cognitive factors in contexts of ethno-political conflict. Using cohort-sequential longitudinal data, the present study examines ethnic variation in the development o…
The Role of Individual, Situational and Interactional Factors in Violence: The Case of Personnel Victimization in Hospital Emergency Wards
Victimization through violence against personnel in the emergency ward (EW) was studied in all 25 general hospitals in Israel, using a self-report questionnaire (N = 1,484). Informed by routine activity theory as well as stress (negative affect) theories, the study analyzed victim and offender related variables, as well as structural, situational and interactional variables. A Victimization Seriousness Score (VSS) was constructed, based on partic…
Personnel exposure to violence in hospital emergency wards: A routine activity approach
This study analyzes violence against personnel in the emergency wards of all 25 general hospitals in Israel using a self‐report questionnaire ( N =2,356). Informed by the routine activity theory, the hypotheses related to the major concepts of this approach: exposure, target suitability, guarding and proximity to offenders. A General Exposure to Violence Index (GEVI) was constructed, based on the participants' reports about type and frequency of …
The effect of religiosity and ethnic origin on direct and indirect aggression among males and females: Some Israeli findings
Israeli society is characterized by significant internal divisions. Two of the most salient of these divisions within the Jewish population relate to (1) religiosity (religious vs. secular Jews) and (2) ethnic origin (Eastern [Asian and North African] vs. Western [European and American]). The aim of this study was to assess the effects of these social divisions on aggressive behavior and victimization to aggression among Israeli children. Three t…
Cross-cultural evidence of female indirect aggression
Three types of aggressive behavior (physical, verbal, and indirect) were investigated by help of peer estimations based on The Direct & Indirect Aggression Scales (DIAS) (Finland: Åbo Akademi University) [Björkqvist et al., 1992b]. Aggressive behavior of adolescents of three age groups (8, 11, and 15 years old), in Finland, (Finnish and Swedish speakers), Israel (secular and religious Israelis), Italy, and Poland were studied (n=2094). Indirect a…

Classifying Victims: A Proposed Multidimensional Victimological Typology
Although recent years have witnessed a growing number of studies in victimology, relatively little attention has been paid to the development of classification systems in this field. This paper reviews the existing typologies and points at their primary limitation, namely, their unidimensionality. Hence, the field presently lacks a systematic conceptual framework. After suggesting a revised definition of victim, a multidimensional victimological …
Subjective social stress indicators and the level of reported psychopathology: The case of Israel
This study investigated (on the aggregate level) the relationship between the level of psychopathology in society (monthly rates of inpatient psychiatric admissions) and the population's perception of stress (expressions of worry or dissatisfaction regarding the general, economic, and security situation) and social support (national solidarity expressed as positive attitudes regarding relations between various segments of the population). The sub…
The Effect of Objective Social Stress Factors on Subjective Perception of Well-Being and Social Solidarity: The Israeli Case
The Israeli setting, with its unique combination of social stress factors was chosen to study (on the aggregate level) the effect of economic and security-related stressors on subjective perception of well-being and social solidarity. The objective security-related stressors considered are inflation and unemployment, and the objective security-related stressors are security-related casualties and incidents. Population size was included as a contr…
Violent crime and its relation to subjective social stress indicators: The case of Israel
Although the effects of objective social stressors on violent crime have been studied extensively, the effects of subjective perception of stress factors have been neglected in criminological research. The present study investigates the relationship between the subjective perception of external stress factors and homicide and robbery rates, within a stress model according to which the probability of violence as a reaction to stress will increase …
A Time Series Analysis of Violent Crime and Its Relation to Prolonged States of Warfare: The Israeli Case
This study examines the effect of security‐related stressors (e.g., wars and more prolonged states of belligerence) on violent crime patterns. Two alternative hypotheses are put forward: the cohesion hypothesis, which predicts a decrease in criminal violence in times of increased security‐related stress, and the legitimation‐habituation hypothesis, which predicts an increase in criminal violence in such periods. The study uses monthly data collec…
The relationship between objective and subjective social stress indicators: Some Israeli findings
The present study addresses the question of whether objectively defined social stressors are subjectively perceived as stressful. This question is investigated on the aggregate level with regard to economic and security-related stress factors. The objective economic stressors considered are inflation and unemployment and the objective security-related stressors are security-related casualties and incidents. Subjective perceptions of social stress…
Stress factors, social support, and violence in Israeli society: A quantitative analysis
In the present study violence in Israel for a period of 32 years (1950-1981) was analyzed, within a stress model according to which the probability of violence and agression as a reaction to stress will increase when social support systems fail or malfunction. Following this model, three types of variables were identified: 1. Measures of stress and social change: to the regular social stressors (i.e., inflation and unemployment), we added two mea…

Sororicide/Filiacide: Homicide for Family Honour [and Comments and Reply]
Homicide of patrilateral kin on the justification of "restoring the family honour" is here differentiated from other assaults on family members.
