The moderating role of sustained missile attacks on stress as a mediator between exposure to terror and depression, anxiety, and health

Identity development in multicultural experiences: The role of ethnic relations and cultural awareness
Exploring contact theory in intergroup dialogue: An examination of attitudes and experiences in secular-religious discourse across diverse socio-religious subgroups
In educational settings, intergroup dialogues often tackle intricate social issues, fostering student identity development. Religious discourse, specifically, has the potential to positively influence intergroup relations. However, the extent to which individuals consider their group affiliation integral to their self-concept can shape their exploration of ethno-religious identity. This study investigates the experiences and attitudes of 638 Jewi…
Intrinsic motivation and challenges of road safety volunteers: The interplay of educational role, coping strategies, resilience, and social impact
Road safety is a critical concern worldwide, impacting individuals, communities, and societies. As mobility increases, so does the risk of accidents and injuries on roads, emphasizing the need for preventive measures. Road safety volunteers contribute significantly to promoting and maintaining road safety, making it important to understand their motivations and resilience sources. This study aimed to uncover what drives their commitment and the f…
Children's bias beyond group boundaries: Perceived differences, outgroup attitudes and prosocial behaviour
This study explored how children's perceptions of social group differences relate to attitudes and behaviour towards real‐world outgroups. We examined Arab‐Christian children living in Israel ( N = 231, 52% female, average age 9.8 years) and randomly presented them with either Arab‐Muslim or Jewish outgroup targets. The children performed tasks measuring attitudes and prosocial behaviour towards the outgroup. Additionally, they were asked to desc…
Understanding intergroup conflict: How do children in a divided society perceive group differences
Outgroup perceptions are a fundamental element of social categorization, particularly in contexts of intergroup conflict. Social Identity Development Theory argues that perceived differences between groups is the first step in ethnic identity development. This understanding of social categories among children may have implications for negative intergroup attitudes or even prejudice. Our study explores how Jews (N=180) and Arab-Muslims (N=207) in …
Out-group prosocial giving during childhood: The role of in-group preference and out-group attitudes in a divided society
Amid protracted conflict, children are raised in divided contexts that shape the development of their intergroup attitudes and behaviors. Social identity development theory (SIDT) suggests that in-group preference may contribute to more negative out-group attitudes and behaviors in middle childhood. In such contexts, in-group favoritism may shape resource distribution, a key indicator of prosocial behavior. This study examined the predictors of r…
Imagined contact with strongly identified outgroup members: Do religious trappings make the man
This research examined the interactive effects of imagined contact and the characteristics of the imagined person on intergroup anxiety and prejudice, among two groups in Israel: Jewish majority and Arab‐Muslim minority. In total, 128 Jewish and 128 Arab‐Muslim participants were randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions. They were exposed to an outgroup person wearing either casual clothing or religious‐ethnic trappings. Then they …
Investigating Stereotypes Among Minority Group Members in Israel: The Role of Ingroup and Outgroup Symbols
This research examined the influence of exposure to ingroup and outgroup concepts on stereotypes of minority members toward the majority. Arab participants were primed by concepts representing group affiliation content (Jewish concepts or Arab concepts), and then their stereotypes toward Jewish people were examined. It was found that priming group concepts had differential effects on Arab minority subgroups, where the Muslim group revealed more n…
Exposure to religious outgroup symbols and intergroup anxiety in Israel
Israel is often at the centre of debate regarding religious diversity. We examined how exposure to religious symbols is associated with intergroup anxiety perceived from the Jewish majority among Arab minority groups. We found that outgroup and ingroup priming had different consequences for the two Arab groups: when primed with outgroup Jewish concepts, Arab-Muslim persons reported higher intergroup anxiety than Arab-Christian participants. Howev…
Religious Primes and Threat-Perceptions as Predictors of Attitudes toward Muslims in Israel
A dialogue with the ‘self’: Identity exploration processes in intergroup dialogue for Jewish students in Israel
The window becomes a mirror: The use of the Johari Window model to evaluate stereotypes in intergroup dialogue in Israel
This paper examines attitudes and stereotypes in intergroup dialogue (religious, secular) via the Johari Window model. Participants (N = 114) presented perceptions of the in-group and a data analysis revealed three prominent findings: (1) the presence of out-group members in the measuring of attitudes contributed to the moderation of stereotypes towards the in-group; (2) the measure of attitudes in the group setting and in conditions of numerical…
