“…Like the Palestinian master narrative, contemporary Palestinian youth tend to construct life stories that assume a tragic or contaminated form (see McAdams, Reynolds, Lewis, Patten, & Bowman, 2001). Themes of loss and unjust dispossession (Said, 1979(Said, , 1994b, trauma (Awwad, 2004), legitimacy of resistance to the Israeli occupation (Arafat, 1974(Arafat, /2001, existential insecurity (Collins, 2004;Khalidi, 1997), fatalism, and lack of economic opportunity (Roy, 2004) permeate the personal narratives of Palestinian youth. Youth attribute great meaning to the master narrative of Palestinian identity, supporting previous work that suggests the benefits of ideological commitment and the attribution of collective meaning in contexts of intractable conflict and political violence (e.g., Barber, 1999Barber, , 2001Jagodic´, 2000;Punamäki, 1996).…”

This article presents a tripartite model of identity that integrates cognitive, social, and cultural levels of analysis in a multimethod framework. With a focus on content, structure, and process, identity is defined as ideology cognized through the individual engagement with discourse, made manifest in a personal narrative constructed and reconstructed across the life course, and scripted in and through social interaction and social practice. This approach to the study of identity challenges personality and social psychologists to consider a cultural psychology framework that focuses on the relationship between master narratives and personal narratives of identity, recognizes the value of a developmental perspective, and uses ethnographic and idiographic methods. Research in personality and social psychology that either explicitly or implicitly relies on the model is reviewed.

“…Representative samples show as high as 73 % of Palestinians (sampled from Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem) exhibit avoidance criteria (avoidance of thoughts or feelings associated with the traumatic experience) and 35.5 % fall within the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) criteria of the DSM-III diagnostic categories (Hobfoll et al, 2011 ). As a result, psychological studies seeking to compare trauma and the development of PTSD among Palestinians have called into question the effects of trauma on Israeli-Palestinian relations (Awwad, 2004 ;Lustick, 1994 ).…”
