摘要: This study aimed to examine Shmotkin's model according which older people who experienced trauma would commonly demonstrate a general, mainly physical, resilience coupled with specific, psychosocial, vulnerabilities. Examining Holocaust survivors and comparisons drawn from two national samples of Israelis (N = 477 N = 210), did not differ in physical health markers but showed lower functioning psychosocial markers. Concentration camp demonstrated or similar mortality risk compared other groups depending on the sample. Our findings support imply that elderly represent select group remarkable biopsychosocial constitution.
