“…Arab citizens of Israel are Palestinians whose families lived in what is now the State of Israel before its foundation. They encompass 20.8% of the Israeli population and most of them are Muslim, with a minority of Christian and Druze individuals (Horenczyk & Ben‐Shalom, ; Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, ). The Jewish population is characterized by more individualistic values and norms, which emphasize independence and mastery (Schwartz, ), leaving more room for diversion from normative values.…”

The study examined the relations between adolescents' self-esteem and two aspects of values: content and congruence with classmates. Using a large sample of Israeli adolescents (N = 1,683; M age = 14.36, SD = 2.24, range = 11-18, 54.31% females), we found that self-esteem related negatively to self-enhancement values and positively to conservation values using zero order correlations. Multilevel polynomial regressions, controlling for demographic differences, found significant quadratic associations of self-esteem with self-enhancement, self-transcendence, openness-tochange, and conservation values. Furthermore, using Response Surface Analyses, it was found that adolescents who were congruent with their classmates' self-enhancement and self-transcendence values showed the highest levels of self-esteem. The findings point to the importance of social context for the relations between values and self-esteem among adolescents.

“…Arab citizens of Israel, or Arab Israelis, are Palestinians whose families lived in what is now the State of Israel before its foundation. They comprise 20.2% of the Israeli population (Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, ) and a majority of them practice Islam (Horenczyk & Ben‐Shalom, ). These four groups are interesting to consider because within each country the groups live in physical proximity but are relatively segregated in schooling and daily activities (Rabinowitz, ; Wright, Ellis, Holloway, & Wong, ).…”

Although research has examined how values are correlated with behavior, little has examined how the system of values predicts behavior. In a cross-cultural sample of American (109 European American; 216 African American) and Israeli (318 Arab Israeli; 216 Jewish Israeli) adolescents, the present study used latent profile analysis to identify groups which reflected the theoretical structure of values across both cultures. Four profiles were found: self-focused, anxiety-free, other-focused, and undifferentiated. Results indicated that Self-Focused adolescents were the most aggressive and viewed as leaders by their peers compared to the other groups. Self-Focused and anxiety-free youth reported more delinquency than their peers. Few differences between cultural groups emerged, suggesting that this approach is a promising avenue for understanding heterogeneity in behavior.

“…Since 1989, Israel has absorbed over a million immigrants from the former Soviet Union (FSU), who now constitute approximately 15% of the Israeli population (Horenczyk & Ben-Shalom, 2006). In recent years the rate of immigration from the FSU has fallen to about 8,000 immigrants per year; however, this is still the largest immigrant group in Israel.…”

“This Is My Responsibility”: Parental Experience of Former Soviet Union Immigrant Parents in Israel

This qualitative study focuses on the parenting experience of immigrant parents from the former Soviet Union (FSU) in Israel. Seventeen in-depth open interviews with FSU immigrant parents were conducted. All participants had been living in Israel between one-and-a-half and five years and had adolescent children aged 11 to 17. The central theme that emerges from the interviews is the participants' sense of parental responsibility, which is based on four central components: control, involvement, discipline, and parental guidance. Immigration challenges the participants' abilities to fulfil their responsibilities as parents by exposing them and their children to cultural differences in child-rearing practices and language difficulties. Pressures of work and learning to live in a new culture may lead to a lack of emotional and physical availability to their children. Participants try to cope with these challenges by maintaining child-rearing practices used in the FSU. Many parents report this means of coping as unsuccessful and feel helpless and uncertain in tackling new parental dilemmas posed by immigration.
