Forging unity in crisis
The Effects of Integrating Mindfulness Exercises into the Elementary Science Curriculum
In the past two decades, there has been an increasing interest in integrating mindfulness practices as part of the school curriculum. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of a unique intervention program, specifically designed for the study, which integrated mindfulness exercises as an integral part of the science curriculum. The study involved 460 students aged 9–11 from six elementary schools. In each school, classes were randomly as…
Meaning and resilience in war-affected populations during crisis
The integration of quantitative and qualitative findings underscores the central role of optimism and meaning-making in psychological resilience during collective trauma. Optimism emerged as the most influential protective factor, while meaning-related orientations and social support provided complementary contributions. The coherence between data sources strengthens construct validity and offers valuable theoretical and practical implications fo…

The path to life satisfaction in adolescence
Cultivating Compassion in Jewish-Israeli Kindergartners
We examined the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) compared to a social-emotional empathy-based intervention (EBI), and a passive control group in promoting compassion among Jewish-Israeli kindergartners. Three middle-class public kindergartens were randomly assigned to the MBI (n = 26;Mage = 5.03), EBI (n = 24;Mage = 5.02), or control groups (n = 24;Mage = 5.16; Ngirls = 40). The interventions lasted 12-weeks. Pre- and post-…
Developmental, Genderial and Cross-Cultural Aspects of Meaning
A Meaningful Synergy
Two areas that have scientifically erupted in the last two decades are the sciences of meaning and of character strengths, yet the integration of these areas has been minimal. Some studies have drawn significant connections between character strengths and meaning in life; however, the samples have been limited, the measures have not measured or separated the types of meaning, and/or the studies have not gathered data from participants on the nuan…
The moving learner
A challenging aspect of foreign language acquisition is learning new vocabulary. Research has demonstrated the benefits of motor action to vocabulary learning, though these findings are rarely translated into teaching and learning practices. In this work, we present a novel paradigm for vocabulary learning in a virtual reality environment, capitalizing on the prominent advantages of this technology as an ‘embodied learning’ tool. Hebrew‐speaking …
The Impact of Childhood Hearing Loss on the Family
Parenting children who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH) presents unique long-term challenges that can place the parents at a greater risk for elevated levels of parenting stress. Adaptation of families to the various challenges presented by childhood hearing loss is influenced by their personal and social coping resources available for managing these stressors and challenges. The current study examined differences in parenting stress and person…
Individual differences in referral for help for severe emotional difficulties in adolescence
Queering gender
In contemporary psychology, normal development is contingent on the establishment of a coherent, universal, stable and unitary 'core gender identity'. The present study assessed the perception of gender identity in 'normative' individuals in Israel using the newly constructed Multi-Gender Identity Questionnaire (Multi-GIQ). The Multi-GIQ includes 32 items assessing gender identity (Feeling like a woman, Feeling like a man, Feeling like both a man…
