Resilience and distress: Israelis respond to the disengagement from Gaza and the second Lebanese war
This study aimed to assess changes in anxiety and hostility in Israel regarding the national political and security situation at three time points: before and after the Israeli disengagement from Gaza, and after the second Lebanese war. The study also investigated high- and low-resilience groups to assess their personal resource levels before disengagement. The cohort comprised Hebrew-speaking individuals aged 21 to 65 years who were not currently serving in the Israeli army. In 2005, 26 to 34 days before the disengagement, 701 participants were interviewed. Participants were followed up 21 to 41 days after the disengagement, and 19 to 37 days after the end of the second Lebanese war in 2006.
