目标：对以色列人民最突出的威胁之一是武装冲突的危险。然而，促进准备行为被证明是非常困难的。可以说，这部分是由于以色列公众长期暴露于这种威胁，也就是受害。本研究的目的是检验受害是否在塑造以色列武装冲突的准备行为中起着突出作用。方法：对502名以色列成年犹太人进行在线调查。使用了一套旨在评估公众对影响备灾因素的看法的调查问卷。在调查之前，一个专家小组对影响备灾准备的因素清单进行了概念化。结果：结果表明，低优先级和忽视民防指令在日常时间是不遵守准备建议的主要原因。忽视指示也与报告的准备程度呈负相关。对威胁的误解和恐惧似乎也是重要因素。结论：本研究的结果支持了受害行为在以色列犹太人武装冲突准备行为中起重要作用的假设。研究结果表明，受害人群的准备行为的社会心理角度的复杂性。
Objectives: One of the most prominent threats to the Israeli population is the risk from armed conflicts. Yet, promoting preparedness behavior proves to be highly difficult. Arguably, this is partially due to the chronic exposure of the Israeli public to this threat, a.k.a. Victimization. The purpose of this study was to examine whether victimization plays a prominent role in shaping preparedness behavior toward armed conflicts in Israel.Methods: An online survey of 502 participants representing the adult Jewish population in Israel was carried out. A set of questionnaires designed to assess public perception of preparedness-affecting factors was used. The list of preparedness-affecting factors was conceptualized by an expert panel before the survey.Results: The results suggest that low prioritization and ignoring of civil-defense instructions during routine times are leading causes for non-compliance with preparedness recommendations. Ignoring instructions is also negatively correlated with reported preparedness. Misunderstanding the threat and fearing it also seem to be important factors.Conclusions: The results of this study support the hypothesis that victimization plays an important role in shaping preparedness behavior toward armed conflicts among Jews in Israel. The findings demonstrate the complexity of the socio-psychological perspective of preparedness behavior in victimized populations.
