“…The inclusion of the children’s demographic characteristics as covariates was based on evidence from the literature as well as for the attempt to compensate for source of confounding relations (Pepe & Addimando, 2014; Pepe, Addimando, Dagdouke, Yagi, & Veronese, 2018). In fact, life satisfaction and trauma symptoms have frequently been described as associated with the children’s age and gender (Abu-Zaineh, Woode, & Giacaman, 2018; Barber, 1999; Barber, 2001; Huebner, 2004; Rabaia, Saleh, & Giacaman, 2014; Roberts, Gliman, Breslau, Breslau, & Koenen, 2011; Snyder et al, 1996; Veronese & Pepe, 2017; Veronese et al, 2018; Veronese & Pepe, 2018b; Whitelock, Lamb, & Rentfrow, 2013).…”

Bedouin children in Palestine are at risk of developing trauma-related pathologies as a result of chronic exposure to severe political and military violence. Little is known about their coping abilities and survival skills. The aim of our study was to longitudinally test the contribution of agency to predicting life satisfaction and the power of life satisfaction to mitigate traumatic stress in a group of Bedouin children exposed to prolonged military violence in West Bank, occupied Palestinian territories. We expected that children who maintained good levels of satisfaction over the time would be less at risk of developing stress- and trauma-related syndromes and that agency would act as a predeterminant of mitigated traumatic reactions. A quantitative cross-lagged path model (CLPM) research design was implemented. One hundred forty-three Palestinian children were administered with Children’s Hope Scale, Multidimensional Student Life Satisfaction Scale, Children’s Impact of Event Scale, and a built ad hoc traumatic checklist. The results provided support for all the study hypotheses, suggesting that in general Bedouin children draw on a considerable range of resources in adjusting to their chronically traumatic life context. Implications for clinical work and future research are discussed.
