INTRODUCTION
The current research explores the association between political views, combat experiences, and the adaptation of soldiers to post-service life. Violent experiences in military service were explored as contributors to both positive and negative dimensions of adaptation, while political views served as possible mediators.
METHODS
Three hundred and twenty Israeli veterans participated in the study.
RESULTS
Political views were correlated with adaptation, especially left-to-right voting and anti-militarism. The results support the mediating role of political beliefs (left-right voting and militarism) in the relationship between combat experience and adaptation to post-service life.
DISCUSSION
We contend that political perceptions affect adaptation through sense-making of the combat experiences and the individual processing of these experiences, and the willingness to continue in reserve service, which allows social support and recognition. In addition, they are linked to a sense of bitterness following the reduction of public participation in military and reserve service.
引言
当前的研究探讨了政治观点、战斗经历与士兵退役后生活适应之间的关联。军事服役中的暴力经历被视为适应的积极和消极维度的促成因素，而政治观点则可能起到中介作用。
方法
320名以色列退伍军人参与了这项研究。
结果
政治观点与适应相关，尤其是左右翼投票倾向和反军国主义。研究结果支持了政治信念（左右翼投票倾向和军国主义）在战斗经历与退役后生活适应关系中的中介作用。
讨论
我们认为，政治认知通过对战斗经历的意义建构、个体对这些经历的处理以及继续服预备役的意愿来影响适应，而继续服预备役能带来社会支持和认可。此外，它们还与公众参与军事和预备役服务减少后的苦涩感有关。
