The Effects of Political Violence on Palestinian Children's Behavior Problems: A Risk Accumulation Model.
Garbarino, James; Kostelny, Kathleen
Child Development, v67 n1 p33-45 Feb 1996
Interviewed 150 Palestinian mothers and their children living amidst the Intifada uprising in what was then the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Found that the number of risks present in a child's life was significantly correlated with the number of behavioral problems the child exhibited. Under conditions of high accumulated risk, boys evidenced more problems than girls. (MDM)
