Stress reactions and coping resources of adolescents in chronic and acute situations evoked by missile fire were examined. Data were gathered during August 2006 (Second Lebanon War) on a sample of 303 Israeli adolescents living in Northern Israel (acute state) and 114 youths from Sderot and the Negev, an area which has been exposed to frequent rocket attacks in the last seven years (chronic state). State anxiety and psychological distress were measured as stress reactions. Sense of coherence, family sense of coherence, sense of community and level of exposure were investigated as potential explanatory factors in reducing emotional distress. The overall magnitude of variance explanation was found to be different at each state: a relatively high amount explained variance of stress reactions was found in the chronic stress situation, but not in the acute state. These data support the value of developing a model that differentiates stress situations with the aim of understanding patterns of significant resources in moderating stress reactions in each state.
本研究考察了在由导弹袭击引起的慢性和急性情况下，青少年的应激反应和应对资源。数据采集于 2006 年 8 月（第二次黎巴嫩战争期间），样本包括 303 名居住在以色列北部（急性状态）的青少年和 114 名来自斯德洛特和内盖夫的青少年，该地区在过去七年中经常遭受火箭袭击（慢性状态）。状态焦虑和心理困扰被视为应激反应。同时，探讨了应对感、家庭应对感、社区意识和暴露程度等潜在因素，以了解在每种状态下减轻情绪困扰的情况。研究结果表明，在每种状态下，解释方差的总体程度是不同的：在慢性应激情况下，应激反应的可解释方差相对较高，但在急性应激情况下则不然。这些数据支持了建立一种能够区分应激情况的模型的价值，其目的是理解在每种状态下，显著资源模式在调节应激反应中的作用。
