“…Traditionally, girls are considered to be at higher risk than boys in situations of war and terror (Milgram, 1994;Ronen, Rahav, & Rosenbaum, 2003). Studies of childrenÕs and teenagersÕ reactions to situations of war indicate that boys are troubled by nervous, regressive, and aggressive symptoms, while girls tend to experience more war-related anxiety (Chimienti & Abu Nasr, 1992).…”

This study focuses on the role of gender and the way social systems (family and friends' support, stress attributed to parents, friends and others in the community) are perceived in contributing to the reaction to stressors of war and threat of terror among teenagers living in Israel along the Lebanese border. The study was implemented shortly after Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon with a sample of 353 teenagers. The study is based on the teenagers' self-report. The results reveals the following: (a) gender relates significantly to level of stress but not to general life satisfaction; (b) stress attributed to the parents and to the peers has a greater contribution to the level of stress than the supportive family atmosphere and peer support; (c) stress attributed to the parents and peers was found to be a mediator between gender and level of stress; (d) supportive family atmosphere was found to be a mediator between gender and one measurement of stress, while peer support was not found to have any mediating role. Special attention is given to the finding that stress attributed to parents and friends has greater significance than the support provided by them.

“…Although they were struck by some SCUD missiles in the Gulf war of 1991, most Israeli families had to face the threat of war (and use of chemical weapons) more than actual warfare. Milgram (1994) reported habituation to the war threat in children in a review of selected studies about the effect of the Gulf war on the Israeli people. Second and sixth-grade children who were studied before and after this war showed an increase in behaviour problems, with younger children reporting more problems (Rahav and Ronen, 1994).…”

A total of 1695 Norwegian adolescents answered a questionnaire concerning how they perceived and reacted to the threat of war during the 1999 Kosovo war and the 2003 Iraq war. Based on previous research and clinical experience the following hypotheses were formed: a) The Kosovo war, being in closer proximity to Norway, will result in more reactions than the Iraq war; b) There will be more communication between adolescents and adults following the Iraq war than following the Kosovo war, due to education by psychologists via the media in the intervening period; c) Girls will evidence more reactions than boys, in line with previous work; d) Adolescents who score above cut-off on the Impact of Event Scale will report less communication with friends and parents, in line with psychosocial theories of posttraumatic stress and previous empirical findings. The first three hypotheses were generally supported, but findings regarding hypothesis (d) were mixed. It is believed that a more open communicative climate has developed in families and schools following increased attention by professionals and media to the coverage of wars and disasters in the media. Mild reactions to the two wars suggest adolescent resilience. Professionals can play an important role in disseminating information on how such events can be handled by parents, professionals and society at large.

“…Ali's narrative assumes a stable form until age 4, when the first Gulf War begins. His story is grounded in the foundational tone of fear that characterized that historical moment in the lives of both Palestinians and Israelis, connected in the mutual fate of potential annihilation (e.g., Elbedour, 1998;Lavee & Ben-David, 1993;Lavi & Solomon, 2005;Milgram, 1994). I wasn't really aware of everything, but I remember it.…”

The cultural psychology of Palestinian youth: A narrative approach

Contemporary Palestinian youth engage with a tragic master narrative of loss and dispossession supported by the social structure of ongoing intractable conflict and Israeli military occupation. This article illustrates a narrative and idiographic approach to research in cultural psychology, interrogating the relationship between constructions of personal identity and the master narrative of Palestinian history and collective identity among contemporary youth. Narratives of youth reveal points of both convergence and divergence with the master narrative of Palestinian identity, the most notable of which are the reproduction of tragic stories of loss and dispossession and the current ideological divisions within Palestinian society between secular and religious nationalism. Implications for theory and methodological practice in cultural psychology are discussed.
