Abstract

ABSTRACT Evacuation of Jewish settlements was and still is a controversial issue within Israeli society and elsewhere. The dispute is between those who support it and those who call for their continued establishment and annexation to the State of Israel. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors related to the readiness of Jewish young adults to participate in acts of protest, as well as to break the law, for ideological reasons. 224 young adults completed a demographic questionnaire and questionnaires measuring social control, self-control, impulsivity, ideology, and relationships to national institutions. Two different and distinct models for predicting readiness to take part in protest activities against policy decisions that contradict one’s religious-ideological outlook were found: One for predicting readiness to act legally and the other for predicting readiness to act illegally. The findings show that despite the significance of ideological views for involvement in ideological delinquency, formal and informal supervisory factors carry considerable weight in preventing delinquency.

在有争议的以色列定居点，有思想的年轻人准备违法

犹太人定居点的撤离在以色列社会和其他地方一直是一个有争议的问题。争端是在支持它的人和要求继续建立和吞并以色列的人之间发生的。本研究的目的是探讨与犹太青年出于意识形态原因参与抗议行为以及违法行为的准备相关的因素。224名年轻人完成了人口调查问卷和社会控制、自我控制、冲动、意识形态以及与国家机构关系的调查问卷。研究人员发现了两种不同的模型，用于预测人们是否愿意参加反对与自己的宗教意识形态观点相矛盾的政策决定的抗议活动:一种是预测人们是否愿意合法行动，另一种是预测人们是否愿意非法行动。研究结果表明，尽管意识形态观点对意识形态犯罪的参与具有重要意义，但正式和非正式的监督因素在预防犯罪方面具有相当大的分量。
