Main findings indicated significant differences between teenagers from the northern area (close to the Israeli-Lebanese border) and teenagers from the central area (distant from the border) in terms of political attitude, level of stress, and life satisfaction. As expected, teenagers living in close proximity to the border, and thus in close proximity to the threat of war, reported less willingness to accept political compromise, higher levels of stress, and lower levels of life satisfaction. Results also indicate that political attitude mediates between level of threat and well-being (a measure of both stress and life satisfaction), meaning that even teenagers living in close proximity to the threat of war can report high levels of well-being if they espouse political attitudes tolerant of compromise. The findings suggest that mental health practitioners treating teenagers in situations of war and terror should be alerted to the impact of political attitude on the well-being of teenagers. Participants were 419 teenagers in 10th and 11th grades from 4 schools, 3 located in the northern part of Israel, which is directly exposed to the threat of attacks and infiltration, and 1 located in the central region of the country away from the immediate threat. Participants completed a questionnaire during class time that measured political attitudes concerning withdrawal from Lebanon and compromise with Lebanon, levels of stress, and levels of life satisfaction. Statistical analyses of the data included the calculation of Pearson correlations and two-step hierarchical regressions. This study is considered preliminary and should be followed up with studies that use measurement tools validated and applicable to various cultural contexts of political discord.
