This study examined the moderating role of self-complexity (SC) on well-being (WB) and psychopathology among Israeli adolescents exposed to the Second Lebanon War (2006). Adolescents (N=584, mean age 16.41) completed a SC measure, Political and Negative Life Events (NLE) scales, Brief Symptom Inventory and Satisfaction with Life Scale. The theoretical model analyzed the function of SC as a moderator of exposure effects to political life events (PLE), while controlling for general NLE. Results corroborated the model with SC moderating the effects of the war-related PLE. Adolescents with low SC are at risk for damaged WB and psychiatric consequences from political violence exposure. This opens a diagnostic avenue for identification of at-risk adolescents in this socio-political context toward whom clinical programs should be directed.
本研究考察了自我复杂性（SC）在经历第二次黎巴嫩战争（2006 年）的以色列青少年的幸福感（WB）和精神病理学中的调节作用。研究对象为 584 名青少年（平均年龄 16.41 岁），他们完成了自我复杂性量表、政治和负面生活事件量表、简明症状量表和生活满意度量表。该理论模型分析了 SC 作为政治生活事件（PLE）暴露效应的调节因素的功能，同时控制了一般的 NLE。研究结果证实了该模型，即 SC 调节了与战争相关的 PLE 的影响。SC 较低的青少年面临着政治暴力暴露导致的 WB 受损和精神后果的风险。这为在这种社会政治背景下识别高危青少年开辟了一个诊断途径，临床项目应针对这些高危青少年。
