The Quest for Significance and Mattering
The quest for significance and mattering (QSM), defined as the need to have social worth and to be treated with dignity, is a fundamental human need and motivation with vast epistemic, moral, and catalytic potential. From an epistemic perspective, QSM plays a crucial role across (a) the lifespan, (b) domains of life, and (c) a wide variety of psychosocial phenomena, ranging from attachment to aggression and deaths of despair at the personal level…
Continuity and Change in Role Definitions and Training Models of School Psychologists in Israel
In accordance with one of the major challenges of psychology research and practice worldwide, school psychology in Israel has setas its aim the promotion of the emotional well-being of students. These aims are achieved through psychological evaluation and intervention, at the systemic and individual-student level. School psychology emerged in Israel in the 1930s, as a relatively narrow field, focused mainly on the placement of students in special…
Self-censorship orientation
Self-censorship is defined as intentionally and voluntarily withholding information from others in absence of formal obstacles. We conducted cross-sectional and longitudinal research to develop a quantitative measure of individuals’ Self-Censorship Orientation (SCO) and investigated its correlates and outcomes in the context of the intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Stage 1 investigated the factor structure of the scale and its convergent …
Self-censorship of Conflict-related Information in the Context of Intractable Conflict
Self-censorship is of great importance in societies involved in intractable conflict. In this context, it blocks information that may contradict the dominant conflict-supporting narratives. Thus, self-censorship often serves as an effective societal mechanism that prevents free flow and transparency of information regarding the conflict and therefore can be seen as a barrier for a peacemaking process. In an attempt to understand the potential eff…
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…
Socio-psychological implications for an occupying society
Although prolonged occupation of a nation is no longer a common phenomenon, where it does exist, it bears harsh implications for all parties involved. This article examines the socio-psychological implications of occupation on the occupying society, using the case of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip since 1967 as an example. The article first delineates the concept of occupation from a socio-ps…
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…
Sleep patterns and sleep disruptions in school-age children
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 need and ability to achieve cognitive structuring
The authors examined the hypothesis that the interaction between the need for cognitive structure (NCS) and the ability to achieve cognitive structure (AACS) moderates the effect of stress on information processing. NCS is the preference for using cognitive structuring, as opposed to piecemeal processes, as a means to achieve certainty. AACS is the extent to which individuals are able to apply information processes that are consistent with their …
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…

Radio psychology
The major objective of this study was the application of help‐seeking models to the study of radio psychology. A total of 443 subjects was divided into two research groups, non‐listeners ( n = 246) and listeners ( n = 197) to at least one of two Israeli radio counselling programmes dealing with parent‐child and interpersonal relationships. Through telephone interviews the subjects' responses to the instruments designed specifically for this type …
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…
Effects of Information on Student‐teachers‘ Stereotypic Perception of Pupils
S ummary . The present study examines the effect of information presentation on stereotypic perception. One group of student‐teachers received relevant information about the high ability of a pupil, a second group received relevant information about the low ability of a pupil, and another group received information irrelevant to a pupil's ability. Each of these groups was further divided into three subgroups—one third of the student‐teachers were…

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…

Mental health consultation technique as a preventive intervention in a special army base
Mental health consultation sessions were given in the Israeli army to female teacher soldiers who teach recruits whose education is limited. These consultations seem to have contributed towards increasing the participants' self-confidence and sensitivity to their students, and the students' readiness to discuss their problems.
