Abstract
KOSDON, Sari M. et al. The Experience of Being Jewish: Living with Antisemitism. Psocial [online]. 2021, vol.7, n.1, pp.44-50. ISSN 2422-619X.
In an anonymous online study of 242 Jewish-identified participants (71 men, 163 women, 8 other; mean age = 37.8 years) living in ethnically diverse communities we found levels of antisemitism significantly associated with depression, survivor guilt proneness, and self-hate. Involvement in the Jewish community was significantly associated with life satisfaction even when adjusting for the effects of discrimination. A subsample of 124 responded to open ended questions with narratives. Thirty percent indicated feeling unsafe when identifying as Jewish.
