A study of Israeli adults found that greater unpredictability in early life is linked to larger increases in psychological distress during the Israel-Hamas war, with higher distress and emotion dysregulation present even before the conflict began. The surge in distress during the war was especially pronounced for those who experienced childhood unpredictability.

The article is of interest to psychology enthusiasts because it examines how early environmental instability shapes emotional regulation and distress responses under extreme real-world stress, highlighting developmental and contextual factors in mental health.
