Employing the salutogenic approach (Antonovsky, 1987), this pilot study aimed at exploring the mediation effect of Sense of Coherence (SOC) on the relationships between exposure to missile attacks and stress-related reactions among adolescents. A strong SOC means a tendency to see the world as more comprehensible, manageable and meaningful. Data were gathered during August 2006 (Second Lebanon War) from 230 Israeli adolescents, 12-18 years old. Adolescents filled out self-reported questionnaires, including demographics, level of physical exposure, SOC, Scale of Psychological Distress (SPD), State Anxiety and State Anger. Exposure to missile attacks was found to be significantly positively linked to stress reactions; exposure was negatively linked to SOC which was also negatively linked to stress reactions. The mediation hypothesis was supported, with SOC mediating the effect of exposure to missile attacks on stress reactions. It seems that SOC may have a protective effect against stress reactions among adolescents exposed to political violence. This should be further studied in a longitudinal research.
采用健康促进模式（Antonovsky, 1987），本研究旨在探索青少年在经历导弹袭击时，其领悟社会支持能力（SOC）在压力相关反应中所起的中介作用。强领悟社会支持能力意味着个体倾向于认为世界是可以理解、可掌控和有意义的。研究数据收集于 2006 年 8 月（第二次黎巴嫩战争期间），对象为 230 名 12-18 岁的以色列青少年。青少年填写了包括人口统计学、物理暴露水平、SOC、心理困扰量表（SPD）、状态焦虑和状态愤怒等内容的自我报告问卷。结果表明，青少年经历的导弹袭击与压力反应显著正相关；与领悟社会支持能力负相关，而后者也与压力反应负相关。该中介假设得到支持，即 SOC 中介了导弹袭击对压力反应的影响。这表明，SOC 可能对青少年在政治暴力中产生的压力反应具有保护作用。这有待于进一步进行纵向研究。
