More difficult for women than men will return to day life – a day after a traumatic event that they perceive the world as more dangerous than men. That a new Israeli study shows held after the Second Lebanon War.
Many studies show that women report more symptoms of stress following traumatic events and urged as wars, accidents sexual assaults. Researchers from the Department of Psychology at the Academic College of Tel – Hai asked to check whether there are differences between the sexes in the development of symptoms of stress and why such an event recovery.
In a survey of 870 adults and a similar number of teenagers, were examined gender differences in two areas related to long-term effects of a traumatic event: the level of symptoms of stress (stress) and recovery (back to life a day – a day).
Women and girls reported a higher level of symptoms Stress: 23% of women and 31% of girls reported feeling a high level of fear versus 10% of men and 9% of the boys. 31% of women and 23% of girls reported feeling stress, compared to 18% of men and 13% of the boys. 31% of women and 32% of the girls reported nervousness compared with 27% of men and boys.
The women also reported a lower level of the day back to life – the day: 64% of women reported that their morale is less good than before the event, 30% said morale it This and 6% claimed that he was better before the event. By contrast 56% of men claimed that their morale as well as pre-event, 34% said the same morale and 9% claimed that he was better. Other measures related to the social activity and the degree of optimism, the women showed signs of recovery as good.
More research suggests that women and girls reported more feelings of danger, that is, they perceive the world as more dangerous than the males they catch him. 21% of women feel that their life very much at risk, 25% feel that a moderate degree, 55% feel that a lesser extent, on the other hand 13% of men feel that their lives at risk to a great extent, 21% feel that a moderate degree and 67% feel that if low.
“study, a sense of danger was closely connected with symptoms of stress,” explains Prof. Shaul Kimhi, other authors “I mean, the more the more sense of danger there are more symptoms of stress and less recovery back to life a day – day.
Looking at the world it seems dangerous, will be feeling more pressure will be more difficult to return to normal after a traumatic event

Greatest effect observed within five minutes of activity only. The more time that has been made in the green environment exercise was longer, the positive effect of increased and it was clear, but a lower yield in relation to prolonged time.
The study published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology journal showed that physical and mental health changes were particularly significant in young people suffering from mental. But, people of all ages and social groups made the activity.
all habitats kind to the participants, including parks in urban areas. The largest effect is Achsahahatamlut Green took place in such water also contained a lake or river.
The researchers explain that according to scientific literature, short-term improvements in mental health beneficial long-term health.
