Abstract：
The current study investigated the correlation between political violence and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and whether the sense of belongingness (SOB) and loneliness mediate the correlation between the two variables among Palestinians living in a society characterised by high political violence and prolonged traumatic events. The study sample consisted of 590 Palestinian adults, consisting of 360 men and 230 women, and were recruited using non-probabilistic convenience sampling methods from a village in the northern region of the occupied Palestinian territories. This study suggests a positive correlation between political violence and PTSS, a positive correlation between loneliness and PTSS, and a negative correlation between SOB and PTSS. SOB and loneliness mediated the correlation between political violence and trauma-related symptoms.
摘要：
本研究调查了政治暴力与创伤后应激症状（PTSS）之间的相关性，以及归属感（SOB）和孤独感是否介导了生活在高度政治暴力和长期创伤事件的社会中的巴勒斯坦人之间的两个变量之间的相关性。研究样本包括590名巴勒斯坦成年人，由360名男性和230名女性组成，并使用非概率便利抽样方法从巴勒斯坦被占领土北部地区的一个村庄招募。这项研究表明，政治暴力与PTSS之间存在正相关，孤独感与PTSS呈正相关，SOB与PTSS呈负相关。SOB和孤独感介导了政治暴力与创伤相关症状之间的相关性。
