This study aimed to examine coping resources (sense of coherence and hope) and stress reactions among Bedouin Arab adolescents in southern Israel during three periods of escalated political violence. Two main questions were examined: 1) Did adolescents report different coping resources and levels of stress reactions during these three different periods? 2) Were there any differences in the pattern of the associations between coping resources and stress reactions across those periods? Data were gathered from 81, 91, and 192 Bedouin Arab adolescents, who were 14-18 years old, during three periods. Participants completed self-report questionnaires including the sense of coherence (SOC) scale, a hope index, a measure or state anxiety and state anger, a measure of psychological distress, and a demographic questionnaire. Across the three periods, differences were observed in both coping resources and levels of stress reactions. Over time, SOC was found to be a significant predictor of those stress reactions; whereas the association between hope components and stress reactions weakened over time. These findings support the hypothesis that SOC is a significant component of coping with stressful political events and emphasize the importance of addressing differences in the roles of personal resources over time and transition processes.
本研究旨在考察以色列南部贝多因阿拉伯青少年在三个政治暴力升级期间的应对资源（心理一致感和希望）和应激反应。主要研究了两个问题：1）青少年在这三个不同时期是否报告了不同的应对资源和不同水平的应激反应？2）在这些时期，应对资源与应激反应之间的关联模式是否存在差异？本研究共招募了 81、91 和 192 名 14-18 岁的贝多因阿拉伯青少年，他们分别在三个时期完成了自我报告问卷，包括心理一致感（SOC）量表、希望指数、状态焦虑和状态愤怒量表、心理困扰量表和人口统计学问卷。在三个时期，应对资源和应激反应水平都存在差异。研究发现，SOC 随着时间的推移一直是应激反应的重要预测因素；而希望成分与应激反应之间的关联随着时间的推移而减弱。这些发现支持了 SOC 是应对压力性政治事件的重要组成部分的假设，并强调了随着时间的推移和过渡过程中，关注个人资源作用差异的重要性。
