A double betrayal: The implications of institutional betrayal for trauma-related symptoms in intimate partner violence survivors
1.03) for each increase in institutional betrayal, after controlling for income, having children with the abusive partner, degree of IPV exposure, and being abused by multiple partners. The present results suggest that institutional betrayal can be a retraumatizing experience, amplifying trauma-related distress in IPV survivors.

Views of aging and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder among older adult war veterans in the context of renewed war
Present findings suggest that exposure to current trauma of war among older adult war veterans might uniquely shape the long-term trajectories of their VoA and PTSD symptoms, while contradicting the previously found PTSD symptoms-VoA directionality
Shorter Telomeres Among Individuals With Physical Disability: The Moderating Role of Perceived Stress
The present findings suggest that individuals with physical disability and who exhibit high levels of perceived stress may be particularly vulnerable for accelerated cellular aging, suggesting that perceived stress can be used as a valuable target for intervention
The Toll of Feeling Older: Subjective Age Moderates the Associations Between Anxiety Sensitivity and Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression During the Covid-19 Epidemic
The findings are consistent with theories that view subjective age as an intraindividual construct involved in modulating important mental health outcomes in the context of coping with stress
The longitudinal associations between attitudes to aging and attachment insecurities among combat veterans
For combat veterans, the trauma of war can have lasting effects, that may later extend to attitudes toward one's own aging (ATOA). The present study sought to examine whether attachment insecurities may help to predict ATOA in later life, while also exploring the moderating role of combat exposure concerning the effects of attachment insecurities on subsequent ATOA. A cohort of 171 veterans of the Israeli 1973 Yom Kippur War (mean age = 68.4, SD …
The loneliness pandemic: Loneliness and other concomitants of depression, anxiety and their comorbidity during the Covid-19 outbreak
What predicts unremitting suicidal ideation? A prospective examination of the role of subjective age in suicidal ideation among ex-prisoners of war
A subset of ex-POWs are exposed to continuous suicidal risk throughout their later life, more than 40 years after the war. Furthermore, an older subjective age mediated these associations, independent of the levels of T1 SI, actual age, and self-rated health. These findings suggest debilitating long-term effects of trauma for SI in later life and their connections to advanced psychological aging. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights…
The Moderating Role of Views of Aging in the Longitudinal Relationship Between Physical Health and Mental Distress
Subjective age and SLE represent distinct features of views of aging. Subjective age may reflect perceptions of one's aging process, associated more directly with health-related outcomes over time. SLE reflects future, death-related perceptions, therefore perhaps less directly associated with such outcomes
Telomere Length and Depression Among Ex-Prisoners of War: The Role of Subjective Age
Findings suggest that the detrimental ramifications of accelerated subjective age involve premature cellular senesces, and may explain the relation between depression and accelerated aging processes among trauma victims. Hence, clinical interventions may seek to address accelerated subjective age among trauma survivors who suffer from depression
Guilt as a mediator between depressive symptoms and subjective age: A 17-year longitudinal study of Israeli ex-prisoners of war
This longitudinal study assesses the trajectories of depressive symptoms and subjective age and the mediating role of guilt in the association between them. Two groups of aging Israeli combat veterans (M age = 57), 128 ex-prisoners of war (ex-POWs), and 106 comparable combat veterans (controls), were assessed at 3 times: 18 (Time 1 [T1]), 30 (Time 2 [T2]), and 35 (Time 3 [T3]) years after the war. They filled out self-report questionnaires on dep…
Lower subjective life expectancy in later life is a risk factor for posttraumatic stress symptoms among trauma survivors
These findings suggest that different traumatic experiences, whether belonging to one's past or whether currently ongoing, predict PTSS in later life. Moreover, it appears that subjective time horizons until death, but not subjective age since birth, can buffer against the negative effect of the trauma. (PsycINFO Database Record
The Role of the Hostile-World Scenario in Predicting Physical and Mental Health Outcomes in Older Adults
The results support the conception of the HWS as a psychological monitor that senses approaching functional declines in later life
Subjective Age and Health in Later Life: The Role of Posttraumatic Symptoms
PTSS appear to be implicated in the link between health measures and subjective age in later life, pointing to the long-term effect of captivity and war-induced traumatic distress on aging
