本研究探讨了三种心理政治因素对儿童心理适应的影响。这三个因素是政治生活事件的影响、对经历过的事件的影响和对威胁的感知。受试者是397名12-13岁的以色列儿童，他们来自三个居民区，这些居民区沿着宗教意识形态的轴线-西岸定居点，戈兰高地和大特拉维夫。所有的孩子都回答了政治生活事件量表，一个问卷电池评估威胁的感知和意识形态信念，和简短的症状清单。两个因素的结果证实了中心的假设，这些因素将线性相关的痛苦，表示增加的痛苦水平与放大的政治事件和感知的威胁的影响。意识形态介导心理政治变量与痛苦关系的次要假设并未得到证实。这些结果对理解影响儿童心理健康的政治环境因素有一定的意义。
This study investigates the effect of three psychopolitical factors on children's psychological adjustment. The three factors are exposure to political life events, impact assigned to experienced events, and perception of threat. Subjects were 397 Israeli children aged 12-13 sampled from three residential areas, which differed along a religious-ideological axis—West Bank settlements, the Golan Heights, and greater Tel Aviv. All children responded to a political life events scale, a questionnaire battery assessing threat perception and ideological conviction, and the Brief Symptom Inventory. Results for two factors confirm the central hypothesis that the factors will be related linearly to distress, indicating increased distress levels with magnification of perceived impact of political events and perception of threat. A secondary hypothesis that ideology mediates the psychopolitical variables to distress relation was not confirmed. These results have implications for comprehension of political environmental dimensions impairing children's mental health.
