The Sexual and Gender Minority Knowledge Scale (SGM-K)
Accurate knowledge among healthcare and mental health professionals caring for sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth is central to affirmative, culturally competent practice, yet it is frequently conflated with attitudes or self-perceived competence. This conflation limits detection of concrete knowledge gaps that may undermine clinical practice. The present study developed and validated the Sexual and Gender Minority Knowledge Scale (SGM-K), an…

Pioneering LGBT Social Work
In 2017, Israel pioneered a globally novel position: LGBT social workers within the welfare system. This marked a transition from NGO-based service delivery to direct governmental responsibility, creating new professional roles for a historically marginalized population within the mainstream welfare system. This study examined how practice-driven processes shape professional role development when serving marginalized populations. A qualitative st…

Research on the sex trade during COVID-19 has documented the intertwined material and emotional hardships faced by individuals in the sex trade.

Drawing on twenty semi-structured interviews conducted in Israel between May and December 2020, findings highlight two intersecting themes: the emotional burden caused by …
The moderating effect of LGBT contact on religious social workers’ attitudes toward same-sex parenting
This study examines how contact with LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and other sexual and gender minorities) individuals moderates the relationship between religiosity and attitudes toward same-sex parenting among social workers in Israel. While previous research has established negative correlations between religiosity and attitudes toward LGBT individuals and same-sex parenting, little is known about factors that may moderate this re…

Men Who Pay for Sex Once, More than Once, or Not at All
In an attempt to characterize men who pay women for sex (MPWS), theory and research generally divides men into two groups: men who pay for sex and those who never paid for sex. However, this dichotomy may lack sufficient detail to understand sex payment accurately, and with regard to attitudes toward paying for sex and frequency of sex payment. The present study set out to explore the associations between views toward MPWS; socio-demographic char…
Maternal Expectations Among Pregnant Women from Single, Lesbian, and Heterosexual Parented families
Little is known about the psychological processes of pregnant women in different family structures. Aiming to fill this gap, the present study examined the prenatal maternal expectations (common cultural beliefs about what women can expect during the transition to motherhood) of women from lesbian ( n = 51), single ( n = 57), and heterosexual ( n = 893) parented families. The results suggest that maternal expectations differ by family structure. …

The Perception of Family in Israel and the United States
Social changes in recent years have led to a broadening of the definition of family. The perception of the concept of family among the American public was assessed in 2003 and 2006 by means of the Family Perception Scale, which found that the respondents fell into three clusters, dubbed Exclusionists, Moderates, and Inclusionists. Based on a sample of adult Jewish population in Israel ( N = 1,518), this study examined whether these categories cou…

Applying Schwartz's values theory and Allport's contact theory, this study examines the role of personal values and personal acquaintance with non-traditional families as mediators of the association between socio-demographic variables (SES) and family concept.

Differences in resilience factors between LGBQ youth and adults were explored. Data were collected on 890 LGBQ yo…

Is There a New Israeli Gay Teenager
Over the past decade Israel has experienced dramatic change in the legitimization of same-sex relationships. In recent years the LGBT social movement has succeeded in mobilizing public support not only for the rights and well-being of adults, but also for the younger generation–LGBT youth.
