Sumario: | The present study aims to explore the personal and social resources that Israeli-Palestinian adults use while coping with stress in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The participant sample consisted of 985 Israeli-Palestinian adults, 58% of whom were females. Participants’ ages ranged from 18 to 50 years old (M = 35.8, SD = 14.48), and they were recruited using a convenience sampling from the Israeli-Palestinian community living in Israel. Participants were asked to answer 16 questions about the coping resources they are adopting to deal with the coronavirus crisis. The findings of the study indicate that social and family support, self-control skills, self-efficacy, religious level, optimism, and subjective well-being are the most common resources the participants have to cope with the coronavirus crisis. These findings align with previous studies across the globe on the importance of these personal and social resources for coping with stressful events. |
