Indirect effects of PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms on the association between Covid-19 cases/symptoms and intimate partner violence perpetration in the United States.
1,183). The variables included self-reported data of IPV perpetration, posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and COVID-19 symptoms ("likely COVID-19"). Additionally, we examined COVID-19 state-level data for tested and confirmed cases as reported by the Johns Hopkins University Center during March 2020 ("tested COVID-19"). Groups in states with higher incidence of COVID-19 had significantly higher rates of IPV perpetration than grou…
Collective Trauma, Unequal Burden
Help-seeking behaviour among internally displaced people in Israel
This study examined help-seeking behaviour from a Resilience Centre among displaced adults following a massive terrorist attack in south Israel on 7 October 2023, with the aim of identifying factors associated with seeking psychosocial support. Data were collected from 748 displaced residents approximately three weeks after the attack. The findings revealed that 46% (n = 341) sought help from the Resilience Centre. Gender, parental status, and wo…
The moderating role of traumatic exposure and ICD-11 CPTSD on the association between couples conflicts and cyber dating violence
Theory and research show that exposure to trauma constitutes a central risk factor for perpetration of both intimate partner violence and cyber dating violence (CDV). However, no study has examined the specific response of the ICD-11 complex posttraumatic stress disorder – which includes both posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and disturbances in self-organization – on the perpetration of CDV. Moreover, no event-level research has examined thes…
Acute Stress Symptoms–Adult Scale/National Stressful Events Survey Short Scale (NSESSS)
The present study supports the cross-cultural validity of NSESSS. The study bears clinical implications for clinicians and policymakers. This highlights the need to strengthen social support after mass trauma and displacement. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Exposure to Family Violence and Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms Among University Students in Taiwan
Predicting Distress Among Young Adults
Purpose Emerging adulthood is characterized by uncertainty and the need for independence. The development of psychological distress may characterize this phase. One factor that has been found to induce stress is early exposure to trauma or violence. However, until now, the victim’s perspective—not the perpetrator’s—has been the focus of most research. Moreover, the cumulative combined contribution of traumatic event exposure and the perpetration …
Social support and academic experience among higher education students in Israel during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
This study focused on the implications of the COVID‐19 pandemic on the academic experience of university students and their plans for dropping out. We examined how their health, exposure to COVID, and personal COVID‐related health risk were associated with perceived social support and a positive academic experience versus plans to drop out of academic studies. We questioned 10,635 students from six research universities in Israel in a cross‐secti…
Meta-Analysis of Cyber Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration and Victimization
Cyber intimate partner violence (C-IPV) is a technology-mediated form of violence. It has been examined only in the last 10 years as a form of violence that can cause psychological damage to its victims. How this phenomenon connects to and differs from face-to-face IPV (F2F-IPV) has been, as yet, little studied. Research has not made clear whether sex differences may impact its use, particularly in light of the fact that no physical coercion is u…
PTSD and public stigma
The study findings demonstrate that self-esteem is associated with higher levels of belief that mental-health professionals can provide effective treatment for PTSD survivors, that survivors can recover and maintain normal relationships, and that survivors are not inclined to neglect their appearance and feel comfortable and calm with PTSD survivors. Spirituality is associated with a belief in professionals' ability to effectively treat PTSD and …
The perspectives of intimate partner violence service providers regarding men as clients
Practitioners who work in IPV services have over the years addressed core questions regarding causes and accountability for IPV. Accordingly, service providers’ perspectives on IPV and treatment of men reveal that different organisations hold different ideologies, policies, and practices. The present study focused on the perspectives of directors of IPV services in Israel about IPV and men’s treatment, and the way they are reflected in practice a…
University students' psychological distress during the Covid‐19 pandemic
Using the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, we aimed to determine whether university students' loss and gain in resources during the pandemic mediated the relationships between COVID‐19 exposure/concern and depression and anxiety. In 2021, 7013 Israeli university students completed online questionnaires. We assessed the data using structural equation modeling. We found that resource loss was directly related to concern ( β = 0.32, p β = 0.7…
Perceived stress during Covid-19
Development of a Questionnaire on Intentions to Engage in Dating Violence Among Puerto Rican Residents
Examining Executive Functioning as a Moderator of Intimate Partner Violence Risk in Veterans
From Military Masculinity toward Hybrid Masculinities
This study examines how Israeli men who are army veterans with combat-related post-traumatic stress and consequently participated in therapy engage 'new masculinities' ideologies. Drawing from interview data with these veterans, we find changes in the men's perceptions of masculinity and sense of themselves as men. They expressed this shift through criticisms of military masculinity and disassociating from the idea of man-as-fighter, disputing th…
The effects of gender role conflict restricted emotionality on the association between exposure to trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder and intimate partner violence severity
The crisis in achieving a sense of manhood among Israeli veterans who suffer from posttraumatic stress symptoms
Helping the helpers
This study examined the associations between exposure to armed conflict, perceived support, work experience, needing help, and post‐traumatic distress among Israeli social workers in foster care agencies based on Conservation of Resources theory. The study used a mixed‐methods design. Six months after the end of an armed conflict, 82 social workers responded to a web‐based questionnaire with closed‐ and open‐ended questions. Results showed that e…
