这项研究审查了儿童的心理症状，特别是攻击性，在家庭特征的背景下，暴露于政治暴力，和国籍。我们研究了巴勒斯坦和以色列儿童和母亲的依恋（通过自我报告问卷测量），暴露于政治暴力和精神病理学之间的关联。样本包括来自西岸的29对巴勒斯坦母子和来自以色列南部和中部的21对以色列母子。结果显示，当暴露于高水平的政治暴力，非安全的母亲遭受显着更高水平的抑郁，焦虑和压力症状相比，安全的母亲，差距显着减少的条件下，低曝光。此外，儿童的症状与母亲的抑郁症状水平和压力严重程度相关。
This study examined children's psychological symptoms, particularly aggression, in the context of family characteristics, exposure to political violence, and nationality. We examined the association among Palestinian and Israeli children's and mothers' attachment (measured by self-report questionnaires), exposure to political violence, and psychopathology. The sample consisted of 29 Palestinian mother-child dyads from the West Bank, and 21 Israeli mother-child dyads, from the south and center of Israel. Results revealed that when exposed to high levels of political violence, nonsecure mothers suffered from significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms compared to secure mothers, a gap that was significantly reduced under conditions of low exposure. In addition, children's symptoms were correlated with maternal level of depressive symptoms and stress severity.
