The resilience of older and younger Israelis was investigated.
A representative sample of the Jewish population in Israel (N = 1,022) was used.
The participants were three adult age-groups (18-35, 36-64, and 65+ years). Half of them were women, and they evenly represented left-wing and right-wing political attitudes.
Resilience was measured by the ratio of strength and vulnerability of the individual, the community, and the nation.
Older participants did not differ from younger people in sense of danger; reported lower level of distress symptoms; and showed higher individual, community, and national resilience scores based on strength to vulnerability ratio, compared with younger individuals.
These data support the contention that older Israelis are more resilient than younger cohorts. Their long direct or indirect experience with wars and terror attacks has not decreased their resilience, and has perhaps even strengthened it.
对以色列老年人和年轻人的恢复力进行调查。
采用了以色列犹太人口的代表性样本（N = 1022）。
参与者为三个成年年龄组（18 - 35岁、36 - 64岁和65岁以上）。其中一半为女性，他们均衡地代表了左翼和右翼政治态度。
通过个人、社区和国家的力量与脆弱性之比来衡量恢复力。
老年参与者在危险感方面与年轻人没有差异；报告的痛苦症状水平较低；与年轻个体相比，基于力量与脆弱性之比，他们在个人、社区和国家恢复力得分上更高。
这些数据支持了这样的观点，即以色列老年人比年轻人群体更具恢复力。他们长期直接或间接经历战争和恐怖袭击并没有降低他们的恢复力，甚至可能增强了恢复力。
