The Multicultural Challenge in Israel
Delving into Israel's multifaceted society, editors Avi Sagi and Ohad Nachtomy, along with their distinguished contributors, explore the many ethnic and religious communities that comprise modern Israel and the ways in which they interact and often misunderstand each other. Detailing both the tensions between Israelis and Arab minorities as well as issues involving recent immigrants and the different religious sects within the Jewish community at…
Attachment Theory and Research from a Cross-Cultural Perspective
Two sources of information are used in this paper to examine the question of culture-specific versus universal aspects of attachment theory. The first source is our work on Israeli kibbutzim and the other a secondary data analysis of samples from different countries. Our analyses provide some predictive validity support for our attachment research on Israeli kibbutzim, irrespective of level of stress elicited by the ‘Strange Situation’ during inf…
Tradition vs. Traditionalism
"This book is a first attempt to examine the thought of key contemporary Jewish thinkers on the meaning of tradition in the context of two models. The classic model assumes that tradition reflects lack of dynamism and reflectiveness, and the present's unqualified submission to the past. This view, however, is an image that the modernist ethos has ascribed to the tradition so as to remove it from modern existence. In the alternative model, a livin…
Disorganized reasoning in Holocaust survivors
In 2 related studies of nonclinical Israeli samples, the long-term sequelae of traumatic Holocaust experiences were investigated from an attachment perspective. In each study, Holocaust survivors were compared with participants who had not experienced the Holocaust, and their attachment style and state of mind with regard to past and present attachment experiences as well as their state of mind regarding unresolved loss were assessed. In both stu…

The Hebrew Communicative Development Inventory
Cultural, linguistic, and developmental evidence was taken into consideration in constructing the HCDI, a Hebrew adaptation of the MCDI. The HCDI was then administered to a stratified sample of Israeli mothers of 253 toddlers aged 1;6 to 2;0 (M = 1;8.18). Hebrew results are presented and compared with scores from the original MCDI sample (Fenson, Dale, Reznick, Bates, Thal & Pethick, 1994). The HCDI is a reliable and sensitive measure of lexical …
Emotional availability and attachment representations in kibbutz infants and their mothers
Three components of the attachment transmission model were examined in 48 kibbutz dyads from 2 kibbutz sleeping arrangements: communal and home-based. Concurrent assessments used the Strange Situation procedure (M. D. Ainsworth, M. C. Blehar, E. Waters, & S. Wall, 1978) for infants' attachment relations, the Adult Attachment Interview (C. George, N. Kaplan, & M. Main, 1985) for mothers' attachment representations, and the Emotional Availability S…
Multigenerational Perspectives on Coping with the Holocaust Experience
In this paper, we advance a new approach to the intergenerational transmission of Holocaust experiences, by focusing on attachment theory. The approach is used as a framework for interpretation of the results of three studies on Holocaust survivors and their offspring, from different countries (The Netherlands, Canada, and Israel), and based on different conceptual approaches and methods of data collection (quantitative as well as qualitative). T…
The Meaning of the Akedah in Israeli Culture and Jewish Tradition
BIBLICAL MYTHS ARE A RECURRING motif in the self-interpretation of Israeli culture, reflecting this culture's perception of its unique plight. A process of self-interpretation through myths, however, implies a particular reading, whether conscious or unconscious, of the myths themselves. Israeli culture thus adds a layer to traditional interpretations.
Attachment concerns of mothers as manifested in parental, spousal, and friendship relationships
The present study examined the relation between attachment concerns of mothers and three of their close relationships: with their husband, best woman friend, and infant. Forty‐live mothers completed an Attachment Concerns Questionnaire based on the Hazan and Shaver attachment measure, and the Sharabany Intimacy scale regarding their relationships with their husband and with their same‐sex best friend; they were also observed with their infants (a…
Stability and discriminant validity of the Adult Attachment Interview
Fifty-nine male and female Israeli students were interviewed twice by 2 different interviewers at 3month intervals to assess the Adult Attachment Interview's (AAI; C. George, N. Kaplan, & M. Main, 1985) test-retest reliability and the effects of the interviewers on the interview itself as well as its subsequent classification. Various memory measures were used to obtain a wide range of information about subjects' memory abilities. Information was…

Color-Word Interference in a Recall Test
Most studies investigating the Stroop phenomenon have used duration of performance as a measure to demonstrate the interference effects. In the present study the Stroop phenomenon was examined by means of a recall test. Sixty male and female undergraduates, randomly assigned into one of three experimental conditions, were included in the study. The three conditions consisted of lists of six colored Xs, six colored words, and six color names print…
The Effects of Labeling and Perceptual Training on Perception and Discrimination Learning in Young Children1
Ninety-six seven- and nine-year-olds were tested under four experimental conditions. A "distinctive label" group associated four different gender-cued labels with four infants' faces. An "equivalent label" group associated only two of these labels. There were also two no-label groups: "differential perception" and "perception". In the former, perceptual cues were provided; no cues were provided in the latter. The main measures were perception and…

A Cross-cultural Study of Symbolic Meaning-developmental Aspects1
Twenty three Israeli kindergarteners and sixteen Israeli college students were tested on a variant of the Semantic Differential Test developed by Guiora (1976) to test the hypothesis that young Israeli children, like adults, are not influenced by the prevalence of grammatical gender in the language but ascribe sexual meanings to the test words based on their assumed connotative values.The results bore out the original hypothesis, suggesting that …
