Protected by ethos in a protracted conflict? : a comparative study among Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem / Iris Lavi...[et al.]
Subject(s): In: The journal of Conflict Resolution . -- v. 58, n.1 (Feb. 2014 )Abstract: Can endorsement of the ethos of conflict alter psychological effects of exposure to political violence? Israelis and Palestinians have been in a state of political and military turmoil for decades. The authors interviewed 781 Israelis and 1,196 Palestinians living in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. The results indicate that ethos of conflict is a double-edged sword that both protects and protracts the conflict. Although it serves as an engine fueling the conflict, it also plays a meaningful role as an empowering force for people suffering the psychological burden of an ongoing conflict.Revista R0323 (MAEC - Biblioteca Central)
