This study evaluated symptoms, risk, and protective factors of adolescents from six Israeli schools exposed to continuous terrorism. All children in the grades selected at each school (7, 9, and 11) were administered anonymous assessment materials measuring posttraumatic, grief, and dissociative symptoms, as well as traumatic exposure, personal resilience, and family factors. A high number of risk factors increased the likelihood of negative symptoms. Perceived personal resilience served as a protective factor against symptom development, perhaps enforced by ideology. Girls living on the West Bank had less severe posttrauma and were more willing to make personal sacrifices for their country. Proactive interventions aimed at enhancing a child's personal resilience and ability to cope with continuous stress may help protect against later symptomatology following traumatic events. Facing terrorism, political ideology may serve a double edge sword: protecting against symptom development as well as contributing to the toxic cycle of violence.
本研究评估了来自以色列六所学校、遭受持续恐怖主义影响的青少年的症状、风险和保护因素。在每所学校选定的年级（7年级、9年级和11年级）中的所有儿童都接受了匿名评估材料，这些材料测量创伤后症状、悲伤和分离症状，以及创伤暴露、个人复原力和家庭因素。大量风险因素增加了出现负面症状的可能性。感知到的个人复原力作为症状发展的保护因素，可能受到意识形态的强化。生活在约旦河西岸的女孩创伤后症状较轻，并且更愿意为自己的国家做出个人牺牲。旨在增强儿童个人复原力和应对持续压力能力的积极干预措施，可能有助于预防创伤事件后出现后期症状。面对恐怖主义，政治意识形态可能是一把双刃剑：防止症状发展，同时也促成暴力的恶性循环。
