This cross-sectional study investigated relations between conflict exposure and psychiatric symptoms among 8,727 Jewish Israeli adolescents aged 12-17 years from 1998-2011. This 14-year span included periods of terrorism, missile attacks, wars, relocations, military operations, and relative quiet, reflecting a dynamically changing, primarily violent climate. Annual samples from the same cities, geographical regions, and schools throughout the country were assessed for personal political life events (PLE) exposure and for psychiatric symptoms using the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI; Derogatis & Spencer, ). Data were divided into 8 exposure periods: (a) pre-Intifada 1998-2000, (b) Intifada peak 2001-2003, (c) Intifada recession 2004, (d) evacuation 2005, (e) missiles and the 2006 Lebanon war, (f) peak missiles 2006-2007, (g) Operation Cast Lead 2008-2009, and (h) global terrorism 2010-2011. Results confirmed a relation between type of exposure period, PLE exposure, and psychiatric symptoms. In addition, PLE exposure was positively correlated with psychiatric symptoms (β = .49). A moderating effect of gender on the relationship between PLE exposure and the psychiatric index was found, with elevated symptoms among females (β = .30).
这项横断面研究调查了1998年至2011年期间8727名12至17岁的以色列犹太青少年中冲突暴露与精神症状之间的关系。这14年期间包括恐怖主义、导弹袭击、战争、重新安置、军事行动以及相对平静的时期，反映了一个动态变化的、主要是暴力的环境。每年从全国相同城市、地理区域和学校抽取样本，使用简明症状量表（BSI；德罗加蒂斯和斯宾塞）评估个人政治生活事件（PLE）暴露情况和精神症状。数据被分为8个暴露期：（a）第二次巴勒斯坦大起义前1998 - 2000年，（b）第二次巴勒斯坦大起义高峰期2001 - 2003年，（c）第二次巴勒斯坦大起义衰退期2004年，（d）2005年撤离，（e）导弹袭击与2006年黎巴嫩战争，（f）导弹袭击高峰期2006 - 2007年，（g）铸铅行动2008 - 2009年，以及（h）全球恐怖主义时期2010 - 2011年。结果证实了暴露期类型、PLE暴露与精神症状之间的关系。此外，PLE暴露与精神症状呈正相关（β = 0.49）。研究发现性别对PLE暴露与精神指数之间的关系具有调节作用，女性的症状更为严重（β = 0.30）。
