Abstract

Background and objectives: This two-wave longitudinal study examines changes in personal values during war, investigating mean changes and the impact of situational and socio-demographic variables on values' change.

Design: The study is based on the theory of human values (Schwartz, 2017).

Methods: The measurements were conducted several weeks before Hamas's invasion of Israel in October 2023, and eight months later, during the war in Gaza. Jewish Israelis, aged 18-35 years, participated in the study (n = 600).

Results: The importance of self-direction-action and achievement values decreased, and the importance of power-dominance and security-social values increased during the war. For all values, a higher pre-war level of a value was associated with a smaller change in this value during the war. A stronger threat to oneself during the war was associated with larger increases in power-dominance and humility values and larger decreases in universalism-care values. People who perceived a stronger threat to close others showed a smaller decrease in self-direction-action and a larger decrease in security-personal values.

Conclusions: The study enhances our understanding of coping with war threats by examining changes in the individual's motivational system.

战争中的价值变化：应对直接和间接的威胁。

背景和目的：本双波纵向研究考察了战争期间个人价值观的变化，调查了平均变化以及情境和社会人口变量对价值观变化的影响。设计：该研究基于人类价值观理论（Schwartz, 2017）。方法：测量是在2023年10月哈马斯入侵以色列前几周进行的，以及八个月后加沙战争期间进行的。年龄在18-35岁的以色列犹太人参与了这项研究（n = 600）。结果：战争期间，自我导向-行动价值和成就价值的重要性下降，权力支配价值和安全-社会价值的重要性上升。对于所有的数值，战前较高的数值与战争期间较小的数值变化相关联。在战争期间，对自己的威胁越大，权力支配和谦卑价值观的增加就越大，而普遍关怀价值观的减少就越大。感知到对亲密他人的更强威胁的人在自我导向行动方面的下降幅度较小，而在个人安全价值观方面的下降幅度较大。结论：该研究通过考察个人动机系统的变化，增强了我们对应对战争威胁的理解。

期刊介绍： This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles.
