Methods: In a cross-sectional study, conducted from March 23 to April 10, 2023, 2031 Israelis were recruited via a survey company. Participants completed self-report questionnaires to assess engagem…
Can the subjective perception of trauma effectively differentiate between International Classification of Diseases–11 PTSD and complex PTSD? The 2022 Russian invasion analysis
Our research contributes to the understanding of PTSD/complex PTSD during ongoing conflict and underscores the applicability of identity aspects in elucidating the influence of subjective factors on psychological outcomes. This exploration of STO represents another approach to understanding internal perspectives in trauma-related disorders. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
National resilience in Ukraine following the 2022 Russian invasion
The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine created major challenges for this country. As yet however few studies have examined perceptions of national resilience during a period of conflict. We collected online data from across Ukraine during April 2022 (N = 2000) assessing key demographics, national resilience, interpersonal trust, subjective trauma, income change, loss of relatives and coping with health risk. Findings suggested that national resilie…
The Ukraine–Russia war
The results confirm the ICD-11 structure of CPTSD but suggest that continuous traumatic stress manifests in more condensed associations between CPTSD symptoms and that emotional regulation may play a vital role in activating the CPTSD network. War-exposed populations could be provided with scalable, brief self-help materials focused on fostering emotion regulation and an SoT. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Mitigating Loss and Trauma
The current study sheds light on the continuing bonds experience of adult Israeli daughters whose mothers were murdered by their fathers. Through 11 semi structured interviews, common externalized and internalized continuing bonds with the deceased mothers were closely examined. The interpreted results supported the existence of bonds, yet revealed a unique manifestation; the bonds were purposefully and defensively restricted, which seemed to be …
A Trisonance
The current qualitative study aimed to examine the narrative identities of women bereaved to intimate partner femicide. Eleven adult Israeli female offspring whose biological mothers were murdered by their biological fathers were interviewed for the purpose of this study. Due to the uniqueness of their loss experience and circumstances, participants' identity is narrated as a "trisonance": They are not like their fathers, their mothers, nor as so…

Attitudes Toward Domestic Violence and Corporal Punishment Among Former Soviet Union Immigrants in Israel
The study regards attitudes of Russian immigrants in Israel toward wife abuse and corporal punishment. The sample consisted of 1,028 participants, based on a multistage cluster sampling. The study used a questionnaire related to immigration, acculturation, and attitudinal issues. The findings indicate a dual-causal model, in which corporal punishment attitudes contribute to wife abuse attitudes and vice versa. However, the effect of attitudes sup…
A test of distance-learning technology
Technological developments have created a revolution that challenges teaching in general, and in higher education in particular calls for a re-assessment of traditional teaching methodologies and their effectiveness. The article is an empirical study of the outcomes of a distance-learning project conducted by the Open University of Israel in states of the former Soviet Union (FSU). In 2008, over 5000 students from 11 FSU states participated in th…
Late-Life Migration, Work Status, and Survival
This analysis examined mortality among late-life Soviet Jewish immigrants in Israel, and the contribution of post-migration work status to their survival. The study linked 1997 survey data to mortality records, seven years hence. The results revealed that mortality was associated with older age, male gender, morbidity, and having less resourceful social networks. More importantly, after controlling for these background variables work status remai…
Being an Israeli
This article presents the results of a study conducted in 2006 among a representative sample of immigrants from the former Soviet Union, aged 18 and over, who arrived in Israel between 1990 and 2005. It examines the changes over time in their collective identity, focusing on the relative weight and meaning of the local, Israeli component of their identity, as compared to the Jewish and Russian components. Unlike studies conducted in other concent…
La presse en langue russe et la communauté immigrante en Israël
Russian-language Press and Immigrant Community in Israel Narspy ZILBERG and Elazar LESHEM As the community of new immigrants to Israel from the former Soviet Union rapidly grew to more than half a million people in the 1990s, more than 50 Russian-language periodicals appeared on the market. No other non-Hebrew-speaking language group has yielded such a large variety of periodicals. The independent immigrant press is a factor of consolidation of d…
