Ideological orientation and social context as moderators of the effect of terrorism
The study investigated the effect of severe terror attacks on Israeli‐Jewish public opinion regarding peace in a context of progress toward peace (1994–1997) compared to a context of conflict escalation (2001–2002). We hypothesized that ideological orientations supporting peace (doves) or opposing it (hawks), as well as the social context in which terror occurs, would moderate its effects. We used the database of Peace Index polls, administered m…
The Influence of the Ethos of Conflict on Israeli Jews' Interpretation of Jewish—Palestinian Encounters
This study investigates the psychological effects of a set of societal beliefs termed the ethos of conflict, which develops in the context of intractable conflict—as, for example, the Israeli—Arab conflict. The premise was that the ethos of conflict constitutes a type of ideology that serves as a powerful prism through which individuals perceive the reality of an intractable conflict. The study's findings confirmed this premise, showing that part…

Young Israelis' Reactions to the Rabin Assassination
The study analyzed the responses of 713 Israeli adolescents, aged 12-17, to 3 open questions regarding their behavior following Rabin's assassination. Participants' explanations for their own behavior and for the youth's behavior as a whole were analyzed and compared. Adolescents responded mainly with pain and authentic grief. Because explanations were elicited from two different perspectives, results of the comparison were discussed with referen…
Individual measurement of exposure to everyday violence among elementary schoolchildren across various settings
One hundred and thirty-four second- and fourth-grade students from two schools in Israel were measured individually using a Hebrew adaptation of the Violence Exposure Scale—Revised (VEX-R), a self-report scale measuring children's exposure to everyday violence. Children reported exposure as a function of situation (witness or victim) and setting (home, school, or neighborhood). They also reported on their own distress symptoms. The children's mot…
Young Israelis' Reactions to National Trauma
This study examined the cognitive and emotional reactions of 477 Israeli high school students to the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (immediately after the event as well as 5 months later) and to a series of terror attacks. The respondents' reactions to the two events were compared as a function of gender and political orientation. About 50% of the respondents who changed their political views immediately after the assassination rev…
The Reaction of the Youth in Israel to the Assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
The assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin by a political assassin caused shock, disbelief, and deep grief to the Israeli people. Particularly prominent was the reaction of the youth, who gathered in large crowds, at the site of the murder and in other places, and engaged in various mourning behaviors of a ritual nature. This drew the attention of the media in Israel and around the world. A study of approximately 700 teenagers cond…
Adolescent idolization of pop singers
Perception of epistemic authority and attribution for its choice as a function of knowledge area and age
Three age groups of children and adolescents (9–10, 13–14, and 17–18 years old) were asked to indicate sources of information which serve as their epistemic authority in nine knowledge areas and to attribute reasons for their choices. In general, the results showed that children and adolescents differentiate among sources and select their epistemic authorities according to knowledge areas. It was found that while the perception of parents as epis…
Moving as a stressful life event for adolescents
In this study, 15 stressful elements and 18 supportive elements relating to moving house were identified based on the reports of 69 male and 71 female adolescents and pre-adolescents. Three primary stress factors and three basic support factors were found. It seems that pre-adolescent girls represent the group most sensitive to the level of stress and to the amount of received support surrounding a move. Adolescents who move from one city to anot…
Perception of epistemic authorities by children and adolescents
Teachers and Students
This study compared teachers’ and classes’ perceptions of the actual and preferred classroom environment in 78 sixth grade classes in Israel. The Classroom Environment Scale (CES) (Moos & Trickett, 1974) was administered, and similarities between the perceptions of teachers and classes were found, particularly pertaining to the preferred or ideal classroom. The teachers and classes differed most in their respective perceptions of the real classro…
Students' Reactions to Attributions of Ability and Effort
S ummary . One hundred and forty‐four 5th grade, 10th grade and college students were presented with a questionnaire consisting of three parts. In Part I, the students received a description of eight different hypothetical stories about classmates. In each story, the classmate's ability (high or low), exerted effort (high or low) and outcome (success or failure) were varied. Following each story the students were asked to rate the predicted grade…
Causal Perceptions of Success and Failure by Advantaged, Integrated and Disadvantaged Pupils
S ummary . One hundred and thirty‐four sixth‐grade pupils belonging to different social groups, upper middle class of European‐American and Israeli origin (advantaged pupils), lower middle class of European‐American, Asian‐African and Israeli origin (integrated pupils), and lower class of Asian‐African origin only (disadvantaged pupils) were asked to attribute causality for their success or failure, following a real test in mathematics. The resul…
