Abstract:
The present paper is based on three-repeated measures. The sample constituted 561 Jewish Israeli adults who experienced these terror attacks. The study examined individual, community and national resilience and their associations with resilience promoting factors (sense of coherence, social support and self-efficacy); as well as resilience suppressing factors (distress symptoms, sense of danger and exposure). Results indicated that resilience scores were quite stable across the three repeated measures, whereas sense of coherence, distress symptoms, sense of danger and exposure significantly changed across the three repeated measures. Sense of coherence was the best predictor for individual, community and national resilience.
