Stress reactions in Israel in the face of terrorism: Two Community Samples

Two Israeli samples were used to survey reactions to ongoing terror attacks in the country. One group lived in an area that had experienced terror attacks while another lived under the same threat of terror, but in an area that had not experienced any local attacks. While both groups were similar in stress symptoms among adults, the group that experienced more terror attacks in their city showed markedly higher levels of perceived stress in their children’s behavior. They also were less involved in proactive activities related to coping. The results may serve as models for further study related to the effects of ongoing terror threats.

Key Words: terrorism • terror • Israel • stress • coping
