โฆ Synopsis
The present report studied race differences in preservice, stressor, and out- come variables in a community sample of 181 war veterans. Blucks reported higher levels of stressors and outcome, particularly for PTSD-related symptoms. The results suggested that the relationship between stressors and outcome can be dejined by a common regression line for Blacks and Whites, and that the high symptom levels observed for Blacks in the sample were accounted for by higher levels of stressors during their war experience. The cognitive coping mode of avoidance did not conform to this pattern and showed higher levels for Blacks even controlling for other factors. Potential cultural origins of this difference were noted.

It is seen as a transitory crisis that may affect any soldier as a result of the massive stress to which the soldier has been exposed. The IDF has adopted fu
