Abstract
Behavior modification has gained in popularity in Israel of late. Given the unique security situation and other cues peculiar to Israeli conditions and culture, an Israeli Fear Survey Inventory has been adapted from the American model. This inventory was administered to students and responses for each sex (129 males, 215 females) were separately factor analyzed. Although in general the factor structures for the two sexes tended to overlap, certain important differences were found, in particular, the fact that “Seeing Blood” was the primary factor among the males and only secondary among the females. It appears that the “Seeing Blood” factor was more crucial for the males owing to the more immediate dangers and experiences involved in military service for men in Israel.Keywords
