The aim of this study was to explore coping resources as explanatory factors in reducing emotional distress of adolescents in an acute stress situation. We compared two ethnic groups-Jewish and Arab-Bedouin Israelis-during intensive missile attacks in January 2009. Data were gathered from 138 Israeli-Jews and 84 Israeli-Arab Bedouins, 12-18 years old, who filled out self reported questionnaires among which state anxiety, state anger, and psychological distress (SPD) were measures of emotional distress, and sense of coherence (SOC) and hope index served as measures of coping resources. Findings indicated no differences between the two groups on state anxiety, SPD and hope levels. Arab Bedouins reported higher levels of state anger and lower levels of sense of coherence. The coping resources, however, explained the stress reactions differently among the two groups. While SOC made a major contribution in explaining stress reactions among Jewish adolescents, hope index explained stress reactions only for the Arab group. The findings are discussed against the background of the salutogenic theory and the cultural differences between the two ethnic groups.
本研究旨在探讨应对资源作为减轻急性应激情况下青少年情绪困扰的解释因素。我们比较了 2009 年 1 月密集导弹袭击期间的两个族群——犹太人和阿拉伯-贝都因人以色列人。数据来自 138 名以色列犹太人（犹太组）和 84 名以色列阿拉伯贝多因人（阿拉伯组），年龄在 12-18 岁之间，他们填写了自我报告问卷，其中状态焦虑、状态愤怒和心理困扰（SPD）是情绪困扰的衡量标准，而心理韧性（SOC）和希望指数则作为应对资源的衡量标准。研究结果表明，两组在状态焦虑、SPD 和希望水平上没有差异。阿拉伯贝多因人报告的状态愤怒水平更高，而心理韧性水平更低。然而，应对资源在两个群体中的应激反应解释方式不同。SOC 对犹太青少年的应激反应有较大的贡献，而希望指数仅能解释阿拉伯组的应激反应。研究结果在健康促进理论和两个族群之间的文化差异背景下进行了讨论。
